Top Madeira Island attractions for a relaxing vacation
Madeira Island is a fantastic retreat for travellers seeking luxury spa hotels, with a blend of stunning landscapes and rejuvenating experiences. Start your journey in Funchal, the capital, where you can explore the lush botanical gardens at Monte Palace, offering breathtaking views and tranquil paths perfect for a leisurely stroll. After a day of exploration, unwind at one of the many spa hotels in the area, such as the luxurious Belmond Reid's Palace, which boasts a renowned spa with treatments inspired by local traditions and ingredients. For those who enjoy a more adventurous side, don’t miss the levada walks—scenic hikes along the island's unique irrigation channels—allowing you to immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty while staying fit. After your hike, indulge in a soothing massage at your hotel’s spa to ease any muscle tension. The west coast of Madeira, particularly around Calheta, offers stunning coastal views and a more serene atmosphere, with hotels like the Savoy Calheta Beach providing easy access to both the beach and wellness facilities. Enjoy the gentle waves and golden sands while knowing a luxurious spa day awaits you in the comfort of your hotel.
