WOW! WOW! WOW! I absolutely LOVED this hotel! I visited in May 2024 and only paid €110 for a sea view room (108) and had a huge balcony and fabulous views of the ocean! Bed was comfy. Shower was excellent! Free breakfast was delicious! The check in lady was super helpful and kind and spoke good English. Definitely recommend the sea view room!! The neutral pools (the free ones) were a magical experience to me! One of the best things I’ve ever done!
With ocean views, Hotel Euro Moniz is only 328 feet from the pools in Porto Moniz. All Euro Moniz’s rooms have a cable TV and a bathroom with a bathtub or a shower. Some rooms feature balconies.

The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed having a big terrace that had a nice view on the ocean. The breakfast was delicious with various options to cater different tastes. Location is good and staff are friendly.

Amazing location! Close to the natural pool, restaurants and supermarket. Breakfast was an added value.

The husband/wife hosts were wonderful, going above an beyond to make this a great experience. There was a heat wave when we arrived which is atypical, so they got us fans the next morning. The location was terrific, both away from the day crowds at the pools but super close to the pools and the restaurants / grocery. The home was well appointed and the kitchen had everything you could need. Real treasure!

What a gorgeous place to stay! Clean and simple and modern. Free laundry (no dryer so I had to hang my clothes outside to dry, which I think is normal in Europe). Comfy bed. Good kitchen facilities. Loved the sectional couch to sit on and read. The natural pools (free ones down the road) were sooooooo incredible and refreshing!

Loved the sea pools, with cafe for after swim drinks. and the peaceful evening walks. Easy to catch a bus further afield. Harder to get to levada walks than I expected, and I would avoid the ones that come back down steep hills to coast - rough and dangerous surfaces

This is not a sand beach vacation.
This is not a sand beach vacation. There are tidal pools to swim in if the weather cooperates. Be aware that the north side of the island is cooler and more likely to rain. We enjoyed our 2 night stay by the ocean but that was enough

Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Nice option if you want to cool down in the pool-there are actually 2 spots with ocean water, one more natural than the other, both can have better tourism services and catering options

A beautiful little town with the most beautiful swimming in Madeira in natural pools with sea water and sea fish. Protected from the waves and great for bathing and swimming, in a beautiful wild nature surrounded by rocks. Everything is close by car, the most beautiful levadas, the Fanal forest. Really spend more days.

We were driving around Madeira Island for 8 days & Porto Moniz was 1 of the most scenic area, beautiful rocky formations with the natural pools. We only stayed overnight, but wished we could have spent more time here, experience swimming the natural pools. Beautiful instamagramable picturisque views. We highly recommend Porto Moniz.

Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
the ocean view is amazing.
The city has both natural and paid natural pools, where the only option is to swim.
if you are a fish lover, there are really many good restaurants in this city.
for us, the tastiest fish was Espada.
It is also a great place to visit the Fanal forest, the Telegrafico gondola and the Rabacal area.
for us, who are fans of bends, steep roads, beautiful nature and of course the sea, this part of the island was the most beautiful.
The tenants are very comprehensive. I was stuck at
Madeira for 2 days during a correspondence and had almost no
money and no one there. They took me from the airport
and made my stay a real dream : they took me to beautiful
places, gave me food and everything almost for free.
The place is not like a fancy hotel but if you are looking to
experience REAL Madeira, this place is perfect for you.
That know all the places that tourists don’t know and they are kind
That literally saved me from the nightmare I was living.
The hotel is located in the center of the tourist part of Porto Moniz. It is a two-minute walk from natural pools which are the most famous attraction. You can choose real natural pools (free entrance) or a bit improved pools (entrance 1,5EUR). More than 5 restaurants are near the hotel. In my opinion, all of them are very good. Porto Moniz is a quiet place when crowds of tourists from Funchal leave in the afternoon. This place is a good starting point for exploring west of Madeira.
The location is great. The lava pools are awesome. The view of the waves and the ocean was magnificent. The restaurant is delicious. The service was great. Please note: there are 2 hotels with same name & same owner. We stayed at the older hotel and loved it. the new hotel looks lovely but we didn't stay in it so i can't say anything about the rooms. the lava pools are public so you can go to them even if you're not staying at the hotel.
Wonderful house, well designed and furnished with everything needed for a week-long stay. The location was perfect—close enough to Porto Moniz amenities but still very quiet and relaxing. We really appreciated the opportunity to explore a different side of the island, having previously stayed mostly in the south. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again when back in Madeira.
It was a romantic escape for us, kind like a second honey moon and we couldn't have chosen better. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Big room with an amazing view we had a balcony with see and mountain view. The staff were very attentive, always with a smile and very helpful. Both swimming pools are nice, the one in the top has very nice view.
Aqua Natura Bay was the perfect choice for our family holidays. We planned a family vacation combining beach, sightseeing and nature and Aqua Natura Bay was the best choice as the family base: the size of our room was very good for a family of 5, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is very good.
We will definitely return.
Terrific place, spacious, well equipped and maintained. Outdoor area was fantastic, nicely landscaped and lit at night. Tastefully decorated, absolutely lovely and close to all amenities. The sea is a few minutes walk and the grocery store almost next door. Clearly the best part of our two weeks in Madeira.
The location is excellent. 25 m distance to Porto Moniz Natural Pools and the ocean. We kept windows open in order to enjoy the ocean sounds during the night.
There is pay-based parking close to the hotel.
The staff was very friendly and made an effort to accommodate special dietary restrictions.
Very large house, pictures didn't do it justice. Great facilities for cooking and washing clothes. Great value as well.
Lovely private outdoor area to relax. Not far from Porto moniz for the pools, and a nice bar down the road for the best poncha in Madeira and close to the levada walk
Location and room decor are great. They give you free entrance to the natural swimming pools and to other facilities of other natura hotels. Breakfast view is incredible. Nice sparkling wine upon arrival and received with local cocktail.
The hotel is in a central location and everything is within walking distance. Furthermore it has two parking places which makes it easy to park and move around the area. Also the bedrooms are huge, they easily fit 3 people or a dog :D
Hotel is very beautiful, we had a Ocean View room , I liked everything and thank you so much for the complimentary service like chocolates and champagne . You need to try the menu from restaurant so delicious 🤤
Great location. It was more than we expected.
Everything close by - swimming pools and market.
It was very good choice. We wish owner to put more pictures from balcony- view of the ocean is amazing!
It's a spacious, clean and well equipped apartment. Location is excellent - very central to all Porto Moniz attractions, restaurants, hiking routes etc.
Great base to explore the north of Madeira.
Absolutely amazing hotel!
Super hospitable, the receptionist was incredibly nice and helpful.
Definitely good value for the price.
I also recommend their Sea View Restaurant which was great.
