Hotel Porto Santo & Spa sits right on the beach, with a broad palm garden screening the grounds. Its architecture preserves the character of the original building, designed by Eduardo Anahory and Pedro Braamcamp Cid; furniture by the same architects has also been restored for the rooms. Private villas with gardens are set within the hotel grounds beside the SPA. The restaurant brings regional flavours together with international cooking, and serves traditional Portuguese dishes. A bar serves the restaurant and pool, while the beach bar has refreshing drinks and light meals.
