Overlooking the town of Funchal, atop a hill and in the middle of a subtropical garden emerges the luxurious Choupana Hills Resort & Spa, with nature as its inspiration, a mixture of styles that characterises it and the attentive service it offers all combined to perfection.
The contemporary and exotic rooms are located in spacious bungalows with a superb view over Funchal, the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Peculiarly constructed on pillars using wood and stone, especially the basalt typical to the region, these bungalows have the same touch of exoticism that exudes from the entire hotel.
The interior design, a cosy and simple style, is harmoniously complemented by varied works of art, from sculptures and 'contadores', to mirrors and 15th century paintings denoting African and Asian cultural influences as a tribute to the Portuguese Age of Discovery.
The mixture of influences is equally well reflected in the exciting fusion cuisine which combines the ingredients and culinary traditions of different cultures, thus offering a wide diversity of new flavours not to be missed.
Experiment the innovative relaxation methods, the massages and varied spa treatment programs, and grasp at the chance of revitalising the body, refreshing the mind and awakening the senses.
