Why rooftop pool hotels, why here
Rooftop pool hotels in Funchal are best defined by more than just a pool placed high above the ground. For this list, the key is a true rooftop setting with open views, a relaxed place to swim or lounge, and the kind of hotel that makes the most of Funchal’s hillside setting and mild climate.

These hotels suit travellers who want a city break with a resort feel, as well as couples, friends and solo guests looking for a stylish base with somewhere scenic to unwind. Funchal itself is a strong fit for this type of stay: it is compact enough for easy exploring, yet varied enough to combine restaurants, harbour views and a more leisurely pace. A rooftop pool can be especially appealing after a day out, offering a calm place to return to without leaving the city behind.
