Lido, an oceanfront sports park, is 750 metres from the hotel, and features family and children's saltwater pools, ocean swimming, and a scuba-diving centre.
Two kilometres west of the hotel, independent operators on Formosa Beach offer water sports such as kayaks, pedal-boats, windsurfing, waterskiing, sail boats, jet skis and motor boats during warm-weather months.
The three-kilometre promenade along the rugged oceanfront from Lido to Formosa Beach is a popular for running and walking. Guests can also hike along the centuries-old levadas, irrigation channels from the mountains. Trails and paths run through the mountains, by the ocean, and through forests such as the Laurissilva, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Quinta da Casa Branca offers discounts at the island's two golf courses, Palheiro, seven kilometres from the hotel, and Santo do Serra, 26 kilometres away.
