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 Atlântico", 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.

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.
