Culture, coast and eco-luxury near the Atlantic Ocean on the island of Madeira - includes flights, breakfast, private transfers or car hire
Nicknamed the 'Island of Eternal Spring' Madeira entices with lush vegetation and a climate that promises year-round relaxation. In the midst of nature, at 820 metres above sea level, rises the elegant Bio Hotel Quinta da Serra, a historic mansion and luxurious retreat. The view from the terrace sweeps over green valleys and the glittering sea; below, the garden beckons for a stroll, with artfully trimmed hedges, fragrant flowering plants, and centuries-old trees. The modern rooms of this eco-conscious hotel offer a peaceful place to relax, complemented by spa and heated indoor swimming pool. Elsewhere, culinary highlights await. Tuck into organic dishes while enjoying panoramic views in the restaurant, or relax with a drink in one of the hotel's bars.
The island itself is a treat for explorers, offering varied landscapes, immense natural beauty, and a wealth of activities. Hiking trails lead through laurel forests and to spectacular mountain panoramas, while the coast beckons with rugged cliffs and beaches. In the capital Funchal, which borders directly on Câmara de Lobos in the east, you can visit colourful markets, historic alleys and the imposing cathedral. Botanical gardens, tram car rides, dolphin watching and a vibrant nightlife scene round off the repertoire of island experiences. This makes every trip to Madeira an incomparable experience that will stay with you forever.

Magical Madeira
Long stretches of coastline with sandy beaches, the gentle breeze of the Atlantic Ocean and year-round warm climates: welcome to Madeira. This idyllic Portuguese island remains a popular choice for holiday makers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the sunshine. Not only do you have an endless choice of glorious beaches to choose from, but for outdoor enthusiasts the island provides ample opportunity to hike and bike in the rocky, mountainous landscape. The Madeira Natural Park, which covers around two-thirds of the island, is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is a place where you can discover an array of rare species!
For a touch of culture, head to the capital. The delightful Old Town of Funchal is perfect for scenic strolls amid colourful buildings, beautiful period architecture and spectacular views of the bay. The city-centre’s quaint streets are lined with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants from which to sample local living and regional flavours, and at the heart of it all is the imposing 16th-century Sé Cathedral, which is well worth a visit.
