From Michelin-starred dining with dramatic views to historic hotels in the centre of Funchal; discover the best Madeira hotels with Kuoni
Luxurious spas, the greenest of scenery and panoramic coastal views; holidays to Madeira – known as the ‘Island of Eternal Spring – are spectacular. From elegant hillside retreats with spectacular Atlantic Ocean views (we love Belmond Reid's Palace) to small and stylish historic boutiques like Quinta da Casa Branca, set in beautiful sub-tropical gardens. You might want a blissful seafront escape such as the Savoy Saccharum Resort & Spa, a stone’s throw from a neat little man-made beach and Marina da Calheta, or a chic historic hotel right in the centre of Funchal, in which case Castanheiro Boutique Hotel is the spot with its sleek rooftop pool and spa. At the seriously swish end of the scale, The Cliff Bay is a highly sophisticated retreat in a spectacular dramatic clifftop spot, with spellbinding views, elegant facilities and Michelin-starred dining. It’s surrounded by beautifully manicured tropical gardens, where you’ll find plenty of secluded corners shaded by palm trees.
