Ocean 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 motorway (Via Rápida) West in the direction of Funchal. Travel for 6.7 Km.

  • Come off the motorway at EXIT 17 signposted Assomada and Porto Novo and take the slip road to the end (STOP sign).

    Turn left up the hill, towards Assomada and Porto Novo.

  • You will now travel for 2.6 Km. You will reach a roundabout (by the church of Assomada) at 1.7 Km. Take the 2nd exit signposted Funchal. 900 m further on you will come to a slightly hidden turn-off on your left signposted Mãe de Deus and Praia dos Reis Magos. To turn left, you need to move to the left-hand feeder lane.

  • On the right there is a block of apartments with a minimarket and café Padaria Pastelaria Cabeço. Drive past the front of these apartments and then turn right into Rua Padre António Rosa Câmara.
