Deep Dive

A deep dive into Lido bathing complex

Very beautiful. Took 3 visits before access to pool and Sea was open. Could swim in sea to right of lido including diving board or ladders, or stone walkway, but left sea access was still roped off. No access to floating island or sea swimming in that area for today. Pool entry from top and bottom stairs, sides entry not possible as design enables the overflow gully's to drain the pool water overflow. The lido pool quite cool, 10 min in you'll be used to it by then. Sea felt warmer. Good venue just remember the Sea dictates activities there. €17.50 ish for 2 adults 2 children with 2 Sun Beds & a parasol. Pretty good value, access to showers, lockers(required a mini padlock €3.50, no locker is marked or numbered so remember the one you chose). Got there at 9am, got busy at midday. Popular with tourists and Madeirenses. Cafe reasonable prices. There are 2 toddler pools with 3 small slides in shallow water. If your hotel pool is good then Maybe check sea entry from lido is not roped off, but pool is very large up to 5ft deep. So if not bothered about sea swimming still good to go and you can take in the dramatic views as Sea crashes over the rock wall. Swells in sea rose up and down of 10 ft when swimming to ladder to climb back to lido, great fun, do remember to be careful swimming in the sea. Madeira not a beach, there's no beach to swim to if your not used to swimming in the sea, or climbing the ladders(they were little slippery). We stayed for nearly 6 hours. Just before entry there's a very good ice cream parlor(€3.50 for 2 scoop cone) which we went to after swimming.

This place fills up quick! Including the parking lots near it. It does have more parking up the hill at the shopping center. It's only a 5 minute walk. When we got there the umbrellas and lounge chairs were all taken up, but if you keep your eye out you can find ones that are being left and ask the staff for those. It cost us €5 for 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella. Totally worth it with littles as the sun was surprisingly hot. Even though it was crowded, the pool itself didn't seem very crowded. I guess as there are so many options to swim at. There is the main pool with 2 entry ways. One side is deep and the other side has a 8 inch space for lounging or the kids to splash in. There is the ocean where you can enter via stairway or diving board and there is a floating pad you can swim to. There are also 2 children pools. One is for smaller kids and has 2 small slides and the other one is for older kids with one bigger tube slide. The pools are salt water. There are outside showers and there is a bathroom with 2 stalls. No baby changing station or dressing rooms. There is a restaurant. I got fries, Pepsi, and pastry. All were good. The staff was very helpful and kind. A SSI scuba school is located here as well. All the staff I ran into spoke English. All were very helpful.

Completely safe place to come and swim for children and adults with lifeguards in attendance. Small fee for each person to obtain a ticket to get into the complex Keep hold of the ticket so you can get in and out if you want to visit the restaurant. You will probably be here for at least half a day as there is plenty to do. Lockers can be hired, along with sunbeds and umbrellas. There are plenty of water features to try in the different pools. Children will have fun in the water shute or playing in the pool where the elephants are. Various pools and diving boards for adults with guards on standby. All in all a good day out in a safe place as there are not many beaches in Madeira

Adults admission €5.20 for the day (keep your entry ticket as you can leave and return as you like) A package for 2 people at €12.80 includes 2 sunbeds and an umbrella (peak season prices) Be there close to opening time if you want a sun bed as number are limited. The diving board into the sea is fun and if you would like a little challenge try swimming out 200m to Ilhéu do Gorgulho which is a small rock Island of the coast, great fun!

Good morning I have to give this place a 4 star only because on our first dive of the year it was so cold. The lido complex is awesome it has all its needs to multiples bathrooms/ changing rooms, Resturant, lifeguards, ocean dive board, kids area done up well with slides in kids pools two to be exact. My review was done at the start of the year if I was here in the summer it would absolutely gain 5 stars

A really fun place to go have a chill day by the pool and the ocean. They have diving boards to dive into the ocean and you can also swim up to a floating barge and chill there. They have a bunch of recliners by the pool as well. The pool is natural salt water instead of chlorine which is great. The pool water in mid-July was pretty cold though at first, but once you get in you'll get adjusted.
