Atlantic Sunrise / Sunset - Check-in and Driving Instructions

If you have a car and are driving to your villa or apartment, please follow these instructions. Using GPS will take you via old and less easy roads and unusual locations:

  • Leaving the airport, take the dual carriageway in the direction of Funchal (road known as the Via Rápida).

  • Take exit number 12 marked "Funchal Campo da Barca".
Atlantic 1
  • This exit takes you into a loop passing under the road and to a T-junction with a set of traffic lights.

  • Turn left at the traffic lights, keeping to your right, and after just a few meters, turn right to "Funchal Pena."
  • Instead of following the road down turn IMMEDIATELY LEFT and head up the hill (see blue sign for Estalagem do Monte)

  • Head up this steep winding road for approximately 500 metres, travelling underneath the cable car.
Atlantic 2
  • Take the 2nd Road on Your Left, signposted "Estrada do Livramento" follow along for 1,1km metres.
  • Please turn right onto Caminho da Longueira, then at the first junction turn left and keep driving up the hill until you find number 22 on your right-hand side. 

Atlantic 3

  • You have a reserved parking space in the garage.

  • This is a shared parking with the other villa, so please ensure you park in the allotted space and as far back as possible.

  • Under any circumstances, do not park near or on the access to the garage or outside the gate, as this will obstruct the access to the parking space of the other house.

  • You MUST ALWAYS REVERSE your car down the ramp into the garage, as it will be easier for you when you leave.

  • There is no space to turn the car around in the garage.

  • If you do not feel comfortable doing this, you can always park in the street further up.
