Situated in the family-friendly Palheiro Village just a stone’s throw from the country’s vibrant capital Funchal, guests will love the plethora of activities on their doorstep. Within the Palheiro Village itself, there are a variety of dining options including the estate’s gourmet restaurant Relais & Chateaux, the Garden Tea House and Palheiro Clubhouse. The onsite Palheiro Spa also offers beauty treatments and specialised therapies, at an extra fee. The Spa also features an indoor and outdoor pool, a Turkish bath and a sauna.
The centre of Funchal, Madeira’s capital city, is just moments away. This port city is full of cosmopolitan charm and centuries of history, with everything being within really easy walking distance. The old town area is where you can stroll through narrow, cobbled streets and take in the beauty of all the historic buildings found along them. Many of them date back to the 15th century and there are plenty of picturesque churches to spot. Ride the cable car up to Monte, close to where the villa is, for some truly breathtaking views of the botanical garden and across the sea. From surfing and snorkeling, to scenic hikes and a round or two of golf, there is plenty to keep the whole family amused.
Also, less than a 10-minute journey by car is the coastal town of Caniço. The most famous attraction here is the Christ the King statue that sits on a viewpoint by the Garajau Marine Reserve. The views from here across the sea are beautiful, and get even more impressive if you continue walking to the tip of the peninsula. Make sure you visit the lovely pebbled beach down below too. There are plenty of great overall walking opportunities here, whether it’s along the tops of cliffs or through the lush hills. Mountain biking, snorkeling and diving are also very popular activities in Caniço.
There are a wide range of activities on offer on the Island, but one of the most breathtaking has to be a glorious hike along some of the 2,092 kilometers of narrow stone irrigation channels known as Levadad, crisscrossing Madeira’s lush mountainous countryside into the Laurisilva forest. One of the most scenic is the Levada do Caldeirao Verde, which meanders four miles past leafy glades and plunging ocean views before emerging into a picturesque clearing sprinkled by a 91-meter waterfall. Just spectacular! And for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, try your hand at the many mountain-bike trails that plunge and ascend this beautiful landscape, or throw yourself into some canyoning, which will have you sliding over cascades and abseiling down waterfalls.
