The natural pools of Porto Moniz in Madeira maintain a “refreshingly cool” water temperature—typically around 20 to 24 C* , especially on sun-warmed days.
From visitor accounts:
– “The water temperature is exactly that of the sea”
– “Swam there in early April, water was about 17 °C, so not warm but fine”
Redditors echo this:
– ““Went a few weeks ago. It’s fine once you finally get yourself in”
In short:
– Temperatures hover between 18 °C and 21 °C**, depending on the season and weather.
– Not heated – they simply reflect Atlantic water and sun exposure.
– Perfectly swim-able, but initially brisk. Many say the water feels fresh rather than freezing, especially after you adjust.
So, are they warm?
No, they’re not warm pools, but they’re “pleasantly cool”, especially on a hot day.
Ideal visiting time: is on summer or early autumn, when both water and air are at their warmest.
