Located right by the beach, just five minutes from the town centre and the international airport, the Vila Baleira Resort was originally designed and built by a consortium of 50 German doctors who discovered the medicinal qualities of the island’s sands and envisioned a place that would welcome visitors from all over the world in an ambience of complete tranquillity.
Covering a total area of 65,650 m2, it is the best-equipped tourist complex on the island. The resort comprises three distinct and spacious areas: the main building, the Baleira Thalasso & Spa centre, and the outdoor leisure area.
The main building is very spacious and is decorated in light colours using local materials. This is where reception is located, with our friendly staff on hand to assist you. It is in this building that many of the resort’s facilities are to be found: the different types of bedrooms; the Navegador Bar, offering a selection of local and international drinks; the spacious Atlântico Restaurant, with its varied menu featuring local and international dishes, always prepared with our traditional quality; our peaceful indoor swimming pool; the shops, offering a range of support services; the amphitheatre; and conference rooms with capacity for up to 200 people.
The fun-filled Children’s Club and the well-equipped games room are also here for your enjoyment. The main building is your base from which to take advantage of the relaxation, well-being and enjoyment that the resort offers.
With your comfort and safety in mind, the other areas of the resort are connected to the main building via a spacious corridor underneath the main road. The corridor is decorated in tones of light blue, making it an artistic journey through the geological history of the island of Porto Santo. The Baleira Thalasso & Spa’s thalassotherapy facility is the largest in Portugal. All the thalassotherapy and spa treatments are provided in this independent structure dedicated to your well-being and which also features a fully-equipped gym and the Rheadive Diving Centre (PADI, SSI and DDI certified).
In the outdoor leisure area you will find the large swimming pool and the children’s pool, where a lifeguard is always on duty, as well as the children’s play area and dedicated club room, where our entertainment team is on hand to ensure your children have the time of their lives.
The Beach Club, serving light snacks, ice creams, meals, juices, beers and our selection of cocktails is the place to be if you don’t want to miss a second of the sunshine. And there is also a pétanque terrain, a volleyball court and beach soccer. Here, too, you will find our ecological boardwalk giving you direct access to Porto Santo’s magnificent 9-km-long beach, where an area is reserved exclusively for the resort’s guests. Every room in the Vila Baleira Resort is less than seven minutes from the beach.
The resort is 10 minutes from Porto Santo International Airport, and from the quay and harbour that serve the island.
