Company information

Alma Holiday Rentals arises from the will to provide those who visit us with what we consider to be one of the best characteristics of the Madeiran people, the warmth and friendliness with which they are welcomed.

Property information

The location of our apartments is unique with an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean. The apartments are completely equipped with every comfort. Parking is free and the location is surrounded by a Unesco declared natural park. The coast is also a protected coastline. From the terraces and balcony, you can watch the cruise liners go by on their way to the port of Funchal a few minutes away from us. It is a location for nature lovers, bird watchers and people who like hiking, diving and who want to relax.

Neighbourhood information

The location is in a residential area, along the ocean. The village of Garajau is named after a bird that only occurs here. From May the storm petrel comes to breed here and only flies at night. He leaves for Africa again in October. The beach is within walking distance, where the diving club is also located. One can go down to the beach by cable car or on foot or by car.
