Volcanic sand and thalassotherapy hotel
Porto Santo's coastal minerals shape every stay, from supervised seawater pools to therapeutic treatments in heated volcanic sand.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Heated volcanic sand arenotherapy and indoor thalassotherapy pools under clinical supervision.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Volcanic sand dunes wrap around Cabeço da Ponta, stretching directly to the Atlantic along Porto Santo's quiet southern coast.
The rooms
Quiet, understated rooms encourage rest between daily treatments, with the main draw waiting in the clinic downstairs.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Heated seawater fills the indoor hydrotherapy pool. Green mosaic tiles wrap the marine hammam and the quiet relaxation lounge.
At the table
Woven chairs surround round tables in the dining room. The kitchen prepares fresh Atlantic seafood and island produce.
How it began
The building operated for years as a standalone thalassotherapy center before a 2025 reconstruction added guest accommodations.
