Wherever you look from the Vila Gale Santa Cruz, the views are spectacular. Inland, you see the majestic mountains rising sharply behind the hotel, or you look out to the shimmering Atlantic.

This hotel is ideally located in the centre of charming Santa Cruz, a developed fishing village with an excellent selection of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. A fifteen minute drive will take you to the centre of Funchal, and the golf courses of Palheiro & Santa da Serra are both within thirty minutes' drive. Vila Galé Santa Cruz opened in 2006 and is furnished in a very clean, modern style, typical of the famous Vila Galé chain of hotels.
