Saccharum - Resort & Spa is a luxury 5-star design hotel located on Calheta Beach, between the mountains of Madeira and the Atlantic Ocean. This hotel features a rooftop infinity pool, conference rooms, a buffet and an à la carte restaurant and four bars.

Great hotel! Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was quite comfortable with possibly the best bed we slept on during our month long trip. Bathroom was clean, and the balcony was a nice addition. Great AC. Parking was easy and close. This hotel has the best, most elaborate breakfast I’ve ever experienced. It was delicious and filling and varied. We loved the beach club area, though would recommend water shoes as the beach is quite rocky. Would gladly stay here again.

    Excellent deal as we stayed during off peak season in November. Staff were polite and professional, breakfast had great variety of food and drinks, and the room was spotless as they cleaned it twice a day. I had a dry cough and they even put a local cough sweet on our beds as a compliment from the hotel - super impressed with how much they looked after customers! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a proper relaxing holiday where you will definitely get pampered!
