Have yourself a colourful stay in Madeira with Casa das Orquideas, unique in so many ways this gorgeous haven will fulfil your artistic cravings and satisfy your relaxation needs. Jump into the vibrant resort of Calheta, your next sun-soaked stay.
Paradise arrives the moment you step outside to your private pool. Take in the warming air as you breathe in the countryside views and hilltop landscapes, then plunge into the cool, aqua-blue depths to soak up this romantic moment. Grab your lilo and drift gently on the water’s relaxing surface, savouring the calm before the splash-filled fun begins. If you fancy escaping from the fun-filled pool games, quickly retreat to your idyllic lounger for a gorgeous sun-kissed session. If this still doesn’t quite satisfy your need for some quiet alone time, slink off up the stone staircase to the terrace for a bit of light reading, listening to favourite tunes, or simply embracing the joy of your holiday. As night falls and the sun sets into the ocean’s distance, fire up your BBQ and gather your nearest and dearest for an unforgettable meal beneath the Madeira sky. A delightful way to end your post-card worthy day.
Contemporary interiors blended seamlessly with the traditional details of the villa’s roots. Enjoy cooking sessions in your charming kitchen space with exposed stones leading into the cosy settings of the lounge, ideal when you’re craving a midday snack and a quick sprawl on the plush sofa. Upstairs find the soft pillows and inviting sheets of your bedroom, whether it’s a quick power nap after a refreshing beach trip or a long rejuvenating nights rest, your bed is the perfect haven to unwind and recharge.
Your balcony vistas may just tempt you outside the doors of your villa paradise. Indulge in sun-soaked coastal moments at Calheta beach, explore scenic hiking trails to the famous Ponta do Pargo Lighthouse, or revel in authentic Madeiran cuisine at local restaurants, all just a drive away from Casa das Orquideas.

Resort Description
If you’re looking for a laid-back villa holiday in Madeira, the pleasant town of Calheta on the southwestern shoreline is known for its sun-filled days and distinct beauty. Unlike much of Madeira’s black-sand volcanic coastline, the manmade beach of Calheta stands out for its golden sands, one of the very few on the island. For those looking to take their adventure out onto the ocean, aquatic activities such as whale-watching, snorkelling and diving are available from the pretty marina, where you can also find shops and restaurants.
Besides its beachside activities, Calheta – which means ‘small cove’ in Portuguese – is home to an impressive array of history and culture. The historical church and Mudas Contemporary Art Museum of Madeira are popular attractions, with exhibitions on display from high-profile figures like Francis Bacon and Salvador Dalí. Don’t miss a visit to the sugar cane factory which was founded in 1901 and is still active, producing the white rum that goes into making the traditional Madeiran drink, ‘Poncha’. For nature lovers, days are best spent exploring authentic villages built amongst vineyards and banana plantations, and admiring flora and fauna at its best in the UNESCO-stamped national park.
