The Alpino Atlântico presents itself as a quaint boutique hotel perched in a panoramic position above the sea, specialising in authentic Ayurveda treatments and therapies.
Located in one of the most beautiful spots in the south of Madeira, nestled within the tranquil villa district of Caniço de Baixo, about 50 metres above sea level, are the Galo Resort Hotels featuring the Alpino Atlântico Ayurveda Hotel (non-smoking, adults only) and its sister hotels Sentido Galosol and Sentido Galomar. The bay is just approximately 2.5 km from the centre of Caniço and is situated on the side of the island with a favourable climate. The centre of Funchal is about 12 km away, and the airport is approximately 8 km away.
An excellent Ayurvedic cuisine awaits you (tridosha, vegetarian or predominantly vegan) with lactose-free or gluten-free alternatives. In the evening, enjoy a light dinner according to Ayurvedic guidelines. Feel free to enjoy your meals on the sheltered terrace overlooking the Atlantic.
At the sister hotel Sentido Galosol (about 300-400 m away), you will find an outdoor pool, an indoor pool (about 28°C) and a whirlpool, as well as a sauna area with a Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath, bio sauna, and sensorial showers. Additionally, the sister hotel Sentido Galomar (about 300-400 m away) features a wellness area with panoramic saunas and much more.
The cove in the underwater national park is equipped with direct sea access and a seawater pool, accessible via a lift or stairs.
In the ASHOKA Ayurveda Therapy Center, led by Birgit Moukom, you will be lovingly and professionally cared for by professionally trained Ayurveda specialists from India and Germany, along with 15 experienced Ayurveda and TCM therapists. The facilities include 7 treatment rooms and an Ayurveda shop. Treatments are individually tailored following a thorough medical history, using oils made according to traditional Ayurvedic recipes. Enjoy a familiar atmosphere where you can feel at ease. The accompanying yoga room, approximately 120 sqm, offers a fantastic sea view.
The garden with sun loungers and parasols, as well as the herb garden, provide a serene space to relax between or after treatments.
