Luxury holidays to Madeira

When it comes to luxury holidays, Madeira has a winning formula – expect top hotels, pristine gardens and fine wines.

Five-star hotels in Funchal

Madeira is well-versed in luxury. Belmond Reid’s Palace is one of the top hotels on our books, serving up a garden spa with sweeping views of the Bay of Funchal. The Hotel Royal Savoy is another great escape that makes itself at home in the island capital. Funchal itself is packed with upmarket must-dos — you can hop between the boutiques and wine bars in the old town before tucking in to a seafood and Champagne dinner at the glossy marina.

Kick back in Canico de Baixo

Holiday resort Canico de Baixo is just around the corner from Funchal. Chic hotels, villas and first-class views are the theme here. Take the Hotel Riu Palace Madeira — its pools watch over the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, Madeira is famous for its dramatic, rugged coast, so instead of a sandy beach Canico de Baixo dishes up lidos and volcanic rocks that double as sunbathing platforms.
