Workation Proof Accommodation
A 4-star waterfront hotel in Ponta do Sol, Madeira's sunniest village, with free Wi-Fi in every room, a desk, and a heated indoor pool. Spacious ocean-view rooms and a solid daily breakfast buffet make it a comfortable base for remote workers on a longer stay.
Every room at Enotel Sunset Bay includes free Wi-Fi and a desk, so you can get work done without leaving the room. The hotel has 24-hour reception, elevator access, and air conditioning throughout — a reliable setup for a productive remote working stay without shared-space distractions.
Rooms are spacious by hotel standards, with large windows facing the Atlantic and a balcony on most room types. The standard room comes with a private bathroom, shower, mini bar, electric kettle, and in-room safe. The ocean view from the upper floors is one of the most frequently mentioned highlights in guest reviews.










The hotel has a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and spa facilities on the lower level. It is a compact but complete wellness setup — useful for unwinding after a long working day. A solarium and outdoor terrace are also available for catching Ponta do Sol's famously long sunsets.
Breakfast is served as a buffet each morning, with pastries, fresh fruit, hot dishes, and a chef cooking omelettes to order. The on-site restaurant also serves dinner as an evening buffet, and there is a bar and coffee shop for drinks between meals. Room service is available throughout the day.
Ponta do Sol is a small, compact village on the southwest coast of Madeira, built around a pebble beach. The hotel sits directly on the waterfront — the beach, the main promenade, and the village's restaurants and cafés are all within a 5-minute walk. Funchal, the island's capital, is approximately 30 minutes by car. Free underground parking is available for guests.
I loved this quaint locale. This hotel is ideal. Ocean view rooms, large and spacious, no issues with the room, modern, beautiful glass shower. Everything was smooth and easy. Free parking a fantastic bonus.
Sauna, indoor pool, great breakfast / restaurant, friendly helpful staff and large comfortable clean rooms … in the best location … 10 out of 10 from me.
Bedroom was large and had a fantastic view of the sea. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and a chef who made tasty omelettes to order. Evening meal was good value with a good selection of dishes. Great underground car park. Small pool and sauna. Ponta do Sol has good access roads for visiting the island.
