At a glance

Atlantic views, Niemeyer curves and a casino next door.

Pestana Casino Park is a five-star hotel on Funchal's seafront, on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The building was designed by the celebrated Brazilian modernist Oscar Niemeyer, and it sits within roughly 15,000 m² of landscaped gardens looking out over Funchal Bay, the marina and the open Atlantic.

It combines a resort feel with a genuinely central address. Spend the morning in the gardens or by the pool, then walk into town for restaurants, shops and the waterfront promenade. The hotel is part of a wider complex that also includes a congress centre and Casino da Madeira, the island's best-known gaming venue.

That makes evenings especially easy: dinner and drinks at the hotel, waterfront bars a short stroll away, and live entertainment or a few hands at the tables right next door. Rooms come with garden, land or side-sea views, alongside family rooms and suites — exact views and inclusions depend on the category you book.

A Niemeyer Casino Resort on the Funchal Seafront

Portugal has no other building by Oscar Niemeyer. The Brazilian architect created it in collaboration with Viana de Lima, a Portuguese architect, and the hotel opened in the 1970s. The casino resort's sweeping curves stand right beside Funchal's cruise port, wrapped in private gardens that lead down toward the bay.

Casino & entertainment

Casino da Madeira, steps from your room.

Part of the same resort complex — gaming, dining and shows without leaving the grounds.

The link with Casino da Madeira is what makes this hotel stand out among Funchal's seafront options. The casino occupies its own striking Niemeyer-designed building within the complex, offering a lively alternative to a quiet night in.

Inside you'll find classic table games and electronic gaming, and the venue regularly hosts concerts, shows and nightlife events. What's on depends on the date of your visit, so it pays to check the programme ahead of time.

What to expect

Table games including roulette and blackjack
Slot machines and dedicated gaming floors
Live music, shows and events on selected nights
Bars, dining and late-night entertainment

The casino operates separately from the hotel. Entry rules, ID checks and minimum-age requirements apply — confirm details with the venue before you go.

Opening hours can change without notice. Gambling is for adults of legal age only (18+). Please play responsibly and set limits before you start.

Your First Visit to Casino da Madeira

First-time visitors need a Welcome Card, the casino's own loyalty card, which costs nothing and is required for entry. Practical extras include a cloakroom, an ATM, free Wi-Fi and a taxi rank, and drivers will find a car park with space for 60 cars. The casino closes on 24 and 25 December, and nobody under 18 is admitted.

Staying at a Casino Hotel Without Living at the Tables

You do not have to gamble to enjoy a stay here. The resort has a tennis court, a library, shops and live music, and the Copacabana nightclub inside the complex keeps the evening going after dinner. For many guests at this casino resort, the gaming floor is simply one option among several on a night out.

More than the room.

Pools & spa

An outdoor pool looks across the gardens to the ocean, and there's an indoor heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, gym and treatment rooms. Some services need booking or cost extra.

🍽

Dining with a view

Restaurants and bars make the most of the bay views — from a slow breakfast to sundowners and a relaxed dinner on site.

🧭

Exploring Funchal

Walk to the marina, the seafront promenade and the city centre. The Old Town, local markets and Madeira's famous gardens are all easy to reach.

Wellness Days at a Casino Resort by the Ocean

A slow day might start with a swim in the infinity pool facing the Atlantic before moving indoors to the heated pool and its water jets. The Magic SPA has its own treatment menu, and the relaxation area brings together a jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath. For a quieter spot, the rooftop pool is open only to guests aged 16 and over.

Dinner at Panorâmico and Lighter Bites by the Marina

At this casino resort, Panorâmico is a bright glass and iron dining room on the garden floor, where themed buffets change daily and gala dinners mark special dates. Guests are asked to dress with some care for dinner there, which gives evenings a slightly more formal feel. For something more casual, Dockside serves an à la carte lunch on its marina terrace, and ON offers Portuguese and international plates beside the pool.

Planning a Madeira Casino Hotel Stay Around the Festivals

Funchal's calendar gives good reasons to choose your dates carefully. The Flower Festival welcomes spring with flower carpets and a parade, June brings fireworks set to music during the Atlantic Festival, and nearby Câmara de Lobos marks the end of the grape harvest with folklore and food. Madeira's New Year celebrations are known worldwide, so the end of December is an especially sought-after time for a casino resort break.
