Doca's Refuge by Homie

Welcome to Doca's Refuge, a cosy refuge just two steps away from Doca do Cavacas, known for its charming natural pools and proximity to the Madeira sea.



Upon entering the apartment, you find a spacious living room, connected to the kitchen through a practical counter.



The kitchen is fully equipped, ideal for preparing meals with complete comfort. The living room, spacious and cosy, was designed to convey serenity through its decoration inspired by the blue tones of the ocean, reflecting the maritime spirit of its privileged location.



On the same floor, you will find the main bedroom, with direct access to a cosy balcony - perfect for enjoying an outdoor breakfast or a peaceful dinner.



This balcony extends and provides connection to another outdoor space, equipped with comfortable furniture, including a table, chairs and a sofa, providing the ideal setting for moments of relaxation.



The house also has a functional bathroom, equipped with a bathtub to relax after a day exploring the island.



Location is another of the major highlights: just a few steps away you have everything you need, from supermarkets and restaurants to beaches and leisure spots, to enjoy the best that Madeira has to offer.



Doca's Refuge is the perfect place for those looking to combine convenience, proximity to the sea, and the unique experience of living Madeira in an authentic way.



Since 2017, we have been receiving travellers from all over the world on our beloved Madeira Island, with the commitment to provide memorable experiences and excellent service. We started as Madeira Sun Travel, a name that reflected the sun, comfort, and welcoming spirit that has always guided us.



Over time, we realised that we wanted to go further: more proximity, more authenticity, more connection.



This is how Homie was born. More than a new name - a new way of being.



Hey Homie, we believe that travelling is more than discovering new places - it's about feeling at home, even far away from home. That's why we don't just hand over keys: we offer warm welcomes, recommendations that turn into unforgettable discoveries, and accommodations cared for with the same affection we would treat our own home.



Each stay is thought out in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is received like an old friend.



Our team, composed of experts in hospitality, communication, finance, maintenance, and design, is committed to taking care of every stage of the experience - from pre-booking to check-out. We work every day to create stays that leave lasting memories.



We are recognised for our personalised attention, the trust of owners who choose us to manage their spaces, and the positive reviews from our guests, which reflect the quality of service we provide.



Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car rental, activity bookings, personalised experiences and much more - all so that you can enjoy Madeira to the fullest.



Please note that check-in after 22:00 is subject to a late check-in fee of €20.



Be a traveller looking for a special spot or a homeowner seeking someone who will care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.



Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira.
