6 best hotels with a pool in Ponta do Sol

Hotels with a pool in Ponta do Sol are best understood as stays where the pool is a real part of the experience, not just a tick-box extra. In this Madeiran coastal town, that usually means somewhere you can unwind after a day out, enjoy the warmer weather, and have a comfortable base for a relaxed break. A genuine pool hotel should offer practical comfort, a pleasant setting, and enough space to make the pool feel usable rather than decorative.

This type of stay suits couples, friends, and solo travellers who want downtime as well as a good location. It also works well for longer stays, when having a pool adds variety to the day and gives you an easy alternative to heading out every time. In Ponta do Sol, the appeal is often the balance between a laid-back atmosphere and access to the wider island, so a pool can make the hotel feel like a destination in itself.

The best options here range from simple to more polished, including Sunset Sea Breeze, Vivenda Por do Sol, Villa Retiro, Villa Belmonte by MHM, and Villa Skylark - by LovelyStay. Guest scores are notably strong across the list, which suggests these properties are doing more than just offering water to swim in: they are delivering a stay people value. For travellers who want comfort, a relaxed pace, and a pool to return to, this is a strong place to look.
