The Rooms

Each of the 34 rooms is positioned to face the Atlantic, with shuttered balconies in dark-stained pine that can be opened or half-closed depending on the weather. Walls inside are in rough basalt plaster, the texture kept coarse so it holds the changing coastal light. Beds are on low platforms in local chestnut, dressed in undyed linen. The Sill Lounge Chair sits in each room by the window, its bouclé a deliberate warmth against the volcanic grey of the walls.

The Dining Room

The dining room is carved partially into the cliff, with a glass rear wall that looks directly into the basalt rock. Tables are in black granite on hand-forged iron bases. The Arc Wall Sconces run in a row along the exposed stone, creating pools of warm light that make the room feel intimate even at full service. The kitchen is run by a Madeiran chef and the menu changes with what arrives from the island’s farms and fishing boats each morning.

The Spa and Terraces

The spa occupies a series of low-ceilinged chambers cut into the base of the promontory. Walls here are wet basalt, left entirely as found. Pools are in hand-laid dark tile that disappears into the rock when the water is still. Above, the terraced gardens step down toward the water in three levels, planted with agapanthus, ginger lily, and endemic fern. The lowest terrace ends at the cliff edge, with a timber platform cantilevered over the sea — currently under construction and due to complete in spring 2026.
