Unmei Villa by LovelyStay

Unmei means destiny, fate… embracing the wabi-sabi and Japandi philosophy of organic elegance, warm minimalism, and soul. Divided across three air-conditioned floors, this 4-bedroom luxury villa offers a peaceful residential sanctuary located just 10 minutes from both Funchal city center and the airport.

- There is currently construction work taking place nearby. Some noise may occur during standard working hours. This is outside of our control, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding -

The main level welcomes you into a grand open-plan living and dining area characterized by high ceilings, natural stone accent walls, a sleek modern fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that capture panoramic views of the endless Atlantic Ocean.

At the heart of this space lies a fully equipped gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring a generous central island, ideal for gathering over local ingredients. Step outside onto the attached covered terrace to sip your morning espresso or enjoy alfresco dining against a dramatic ocean backdrop.

Upstairs, the top floor features three beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms styled in warm wooden accents and tranquil tones. Each upper suite opens directly onto a sweeping panoramic balcony, allowing you to wake up every morning to magnificent, elevated sea views.

The lower floor is designed entirely for leisure, relaxation, and memorable family time. Here, you will find an expansive entertainment lounge complete with a second open kitchen, a massive dining table, a Smart TV, board games, darts, and a versatile convertible table for billiards or table tennis.

Large sliding glass doors connect this vibrant indoor space directly to the outdoor paradise. Relax on the wooden pool deck, take a refreshing dip in the private swimming pool (which can be heated upon request for an added supplement), or grill a feast on the traditional built-in stone barbecue framed by lush greenery. The fourth bedroom is conveniently located on this lower level with direct walk-out access to the pool area.

For ultimate convenience, Unmei comes fully equipped with a laundry zone (washer and dryer), two fully functioning kitchens, and a private 2-car garage fitted with a complimentary EV charger for your electric vehicle.
