Pousada da Juventude da Calheta
About
Pousada da Juventude da Calheta in Madeira occupies Caminho dos Serrões, 9370-240 Estreito da Calheta, on the island's sunnier western side.
The hostel sits in Estreito da Calheta, a parish above the coastal town of Calheta, placing it well away from the busier eastern resorts. Its website, hosted on the regional government's domain, is the main online reference for the property. A 4.6/5 rating from 67 reviews reflects the impressions of those who have stayed. First-time visitors should expect a quiet base from which to explore the western coast, with Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta all reachable by road.
Sea temperatures stay warm enough for swimming for much of the year, though the water remains cooler than in the Mediterranean.
Portuguese is the official language, and whale-watching boats run from several points around the island to see the whales, dolphins and seabirds that gather offshore. The western parish suits travellers who want the coast without the crowds of the capital.
