A temperate climate, clean balmy air, the fresh fragrance of flowers, the peacefulness of an island in the Atlantic Ocean and a range of spas offering treatments for all tastes.

The island of Madeira has a number of hotels and resorts offering a wide variety of massages, face and body treatments and other treatments designed to help you relax and feel good. The spas are set in luxuriant surroundings of rich vegetation and gardens - be they in the countryside or in the city of Funchal, up in the mountains or down by the sea. Temples dedicated to health and beauty, equipped with the most modern and specialised facilities, expert staff and offering traditional and oriental techniques, yoga and hydro-gymnastics classes, to name only a few of the options from which to choose.

Pamper yourself with the champagne and caviar treatments at Reid’s Hotel or the aromatherapy baths at Choupana Hills. Succumb to the pleasure of an invigorating massage in the Ocean Park Spa or a beauty treatment at the Savoy Resort.

And after your treatment, take a walk along one of the levadas (irrigation canals) of Madeira, play a round of golf at the Santo da Serra club overlooking the sea or rest in the beautiful surroundings of the Casa Velha do Palheiro gardens.
