Get ready to fall in love with Madeira – a lush island where year‑round sunshine, stunning sea views and laidback charm come as standard.

 

From its colourful capital, Funchal, to the golden sands of Calheta, this island’s all about soaking up the good life. Think lazy days by lidos, sweet malmsey wine, garlic-basted espetada (meat skewers) and fiery traditional alcoholic drink poncha – the local food and drink are as bold as the landscapes. Boutique shopping, chic bars and quirky nods to British heritage add a cultural twist too.

 

Is there anywhere better to stay than the fabulous Savoy Palace? A short stroll from Funchal’s buzz, this five‑star stunner blends contemporary design with top-tier luxury. Sleek metals and warm tones set the stylish tone, while the rooftop infinity pool boasts panoramic ocean views.

 

There are four more outdoor pools to dip into, plus a spa for next-level relaxation. Feeling peckish? Take your pick from five restaurants – à la carte and buffet – and unwind in one of the four elegant bars.

 

With a mix of indulgence, style and unbeatable location, Savoy Palace is the ultimate base for discovering the magic of Madeira.
