Book Your Stay at Hotel Caju, Funchal (Madeira)

Hotel Caju operates an intelligent air conditioning system and provides refillable glass water bottles to reduce single-use plastic waste. The lower ground floor houses a fitness centre with hand weights, exercise mats, and a water dispenser for guests to refill their bottles. A bar and the on-site Prima Caju restaurant serve Mediterranean dishes with a focus on healthy, locally sourced ingredients.

Rooms are styled by renowned designer Nini Andrade Silva, combining exposed stonework and polished concrete with minimalist furniture. Each air-conditioned room includes a private bathroom, electric kettle, and a balcony (or Juliet balcony in some categories). The hotel's sustainability ethos extends to recyclable packaging and a ban on single-use plastics in guest rooms.

Hotel Caju sits on a quiet pedestrian street in the old town, less than 1 km from Almirante Reis Beach and Marina do Funchal.

Lunch features bowls, Asian-inspired fusion dishes, and healthy options like the Caju bowl.
