Alpino Atlantico Hotel****

Alpino Atlantico Hotel is a small and charming boutique style hotel with a dramatic location, perched on a cliff top in colourful Madeira with breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. This intimate venue offers authentic ayurveda treatments and meals and it would be hard to find a more impressive location for the yoga sessions. For those looking for a complete ayurveda cure or yoga program in a beautiful and peaceful location, this would be ideal.

THIS HOTEL FILLS UP VERY QUICKLY, SO WE RECOMMEND BOOKING AT LEAST TWO MONTHS IN ADVANCE!

The Hotel

The beautiful and colourful Portuguese island of Madeira is a perfect place for a wellbeing break or a powerful and thorough Ayurveda cure. In the midst of exotic vegetation in a year-round pleasant and mild climate the Galo Resort Hotel "Alpino Atlantico", offers an oasis of inner calm together with a peaceful atmosphere.

The Alpino Atlantico Hotel is a small and charming boutique style hotel with a beautiful view over the Atlantic Ocean, the resort is situated directly on the sea-front on top of a small cliff. Whilst it is part of the bigger Galo resort, the Alpino Atlantico Hotel is situated in a much quieter area set apart from the main complex. This gives you the feel of a secluded getaway whilst still offering the extensive range of facilities and amenities in the main hotel building.

The resort boasts 4 different restaurants offering a broad variety of food for guests to enjoy. Ayurveda guests will have their food served in the same restaurant throughout their stay.

The Rooms

With only 24 Double Rooms and 3 suites with ocean views, hotel Alpino Atlantico offers a private and cosy atmosphere. All of the rooms were built and decorated following a "well-living" philosophy.  The rooms are equipped with quality furniture, wooden and terracotta floors which are hygienic and anti-allergenic. The anti-allergenic beds have orthopedic mattresses and a large selection of specialised pillows are available. All cleaning is carried out using health-friendly cleaning products.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the oldest known healing art still existing in the world. Its origins lie in the Ancient Indian Philosophy which has been continually practiced and developed for more than 5000 years. The term itself means „Science of Life“. Ayurveda is the first known systematic collection of medical knowledge. The goal of Ayurveda is to achieve a long healthy life and self responsibility. The Alpino Atlantico Hotel & Ayurveda Centre provide you with the knowledge and know how to improve your lifestyle without enforcing a change in culture.

In the Ayurveda Cure Centre you have the opportunity to regenerate with specialized help amidst a breath taking setting, directly over the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the special Ayurveda programs guided by the Indian doctor Gopal, which are created especially from a holistic and therapeutic perspective. The main point of all treatments is the Panchakarma, the cleansing of the body; an effective and sustainable regeneration and detoxification process for body, mind and soul!

Swimming pool

The Alpino Atlantico Hotel itself does not have a swimming pool, but you are more than welcome to use the pools in one of the other hotels in the resort. The indoor pool is situated in the main building of Hotel Galosol, on the same level as the Fitness Centre. It is about 11x7 meters, offering a pleasant and friendly atmosphere with environmentally friendly heating systems using solar energy and waste heat recovery, maintaining the pool water at a warm 28º. In the same compound there is a jacuzzi which can be easily accessed from the sauna area or directly from the indoor pool. Then there is a beautiful new adult-only outdoor pool at the Galomar situated on the terrace, providing a nice quiet spot to relax while enjoying the magnificent view over the sea. And finally there is the outdoor salt-water pool, which is located at Lido Galomar and which is constantly filled with fresh sea water.

Absolutely everything was just right! Every arrival is always a bit exciting, does what you find match the image you formed in your mind? The hotel seemed a bit petty at first, and what struck me was that there were many stairs and no elevator. Soon all that was outweighed by the friendly people, the beautiful room, the beautiful view and the delicious food. As far as we were concerned, this break was quite complete: the treatments, the guidance, the yoga, the service, the tailored diet, everything was right. The only thing that was disappointing was that the wellness center of Galomar was further away than we thought, somehow we had the idea that both hotels had a shared park or something like that. However, we had to get there via a fairly steep street, which turned out to be a bit difficult given our conditions. In our opinion, this situation could be expressed more clearly in the information, but that's all. The cure offered us exactly what we were looking for, working together on our health and in the meantime enjoying everything that presents itself on a wonderful island!

A week back and I will take a moment to give feedback. The holiday was super prepared, your guidance is always to the point, hearty. And thanks for the nice goodie bag in the room. I went to Madeira for 1 week beforehand, spent the whole week driving around in a rental car and took several brisk walks. What a beautiful island! Much was already in bloom and the tours are really spectacular. So I was all energised and in a sporty flow when I went to Alpino Atlantico. Alpino Atlantico looks nice and well-kept, the rooms are fine. Nice that they all have private balconies and views of the garden and sea. However, I found the atmosphere -- not my thing. There were mostly German and Swiss ladies who were very serious and also very much on their own. It felt like there was a lot of watching and judging and yoga was almost a competition. Of course, there were also a few nice ladies but I found the ratio here totally different from e.g. at Shanti som or at the spa above Valencia, those 2 were really much more sociable. Luckily I was together with my friend Miriam, I was very happy not to be there alone. The Galo hotel is a few minutes' walk away. There we did use the pool by the sea, and in the evening it was cosy with live music in the lounge bar. In short, it was quite nice but I wouldn't go to this German colony again.... It wasn't down to you guys, you were top notch.

We love this

  • A stunning location on a cliff overlooking the Ocean, the most amazing views you have ever seen!
  • The hotel feels small and personal, and you can use all the facilities (spa, gym, outdoor pools) of the resort it belongs to, just a few minutes walk away.
  • Divine ayurvedic food and authentic ayurvedic treatments, a real bliss.

This not so much...

  • Although located right at the Ocean, there is no beach as such, just a very tiny strip of sand for which you have to go down and then back up some very steep stairs.
  • This resort complex is owned by a German family, and the guests are predominantly German, Austrian, Swiss & Dutch. Other nationalities might find it too German orientated, although English is widely spoken by both staff and guests.
  • The island location can be a little breezy, although it certainly won’t be cold!
  • THIS HOTEL FILLS UP VERY QUICKLY, SO WE RECOMMEND BOOKING AT LEAST TWO MONTHS IN ADVANCE!

Our tips

  • Madeira Hiking with Christa, enjoy a day with a group hike and guide that knows the real Madeira and will show you it´s real beauty and nature.
  • You should not miss a visit to colourful Funchal with its pitoresque streets and flowers. A must when you visit Funchal is the Monte Cable Car - this is an old tradition - a little expensive now but worth the fun of the ride. A wonderfully sedate way to travel from Funchal Bay up towards Monte and the botanical gardens. Fantastic views above the rooftops of Funchal - get your camera ready!
