Where to stay in Porto Santo: north or south of the island?<\/h2>\n\n

Why stay in Porto Santo?<\/h3>\n\n

We loved discovering Porto Santo<\/a> for its unspoilt natural setting. In addition to its unique landscapes, we enjoyed outdoor activities such as snorkeling and hiking. We have very fond memories of our trip, especially of the sunrise, which we’ve immortalized below!<\/p>\n\n

In fact, it doesn’t matter where you decide to stay, whether in the north or south of the island. A 10-minute drive will take you from Ponta da Calheta to Vila Baleira. Hotels are concentrated in this area, which borders the long beach of Porto Santo. They benefit from direct access to the sandy expanse, and breathtaking ocean views!<\/p>\n\n

Other useful tips to keep in mind<\/h3>\n\n

We highly recommend renting a car<\/a> during your stay in Porto Santo. You’ll enjoy many exceptional views of the island and the ocean. Most hotels have parking facilities.<\/p>\n\n

Driving is easy on the main road linking one end of the island to the other. As you move inland, some roads may be much narrower or covered in rocks. We recommend you opt for a 4-wheel drive vehicle to climb to the top of the watchtowers.<\/p>\n\n
