Luxury holidays in Madeira

Luxury holidays in Madeira are all about the finer things in life. Whether it's dining in a top notch restaurant, or shopping for a new pair of designer shoes, it's yours for the taking. Then there's the scenery. Towering cliffs and twisting mountains loom over the rocky coastlines below. Head over to Sao Vicente where you'll find roads sprinkled with waterfalls and crystal clear blue seas. Once you've admired the surroundings, check out what else is on offer.

If you fancy splashing some cash on your 5 star holiday, head to the chic boutiques of Funchal. Here you'll find designer stores stocked with all the latest gear. They've got plenty of shoes and handbags. Or maybe some jewellery? Not a problem. After a hard day's shopping, why not pamper yourself? Dotted around Madeira are spas and pools where you can refresh and recharge. For golf lovers there's a brand new course in Porto Santo where you can tee off in stunning surroundings.

When booking exclusive holidays to Madeira, you'll want first class evening entertainment. Your first port of call should be the fabulous Reids Palace Hotel cocktail bar, just west of Funchal. Dress up to the nines and sip Bellinis with the rich, famous and star-struck at this renowned hotel bar. When the bar closes, keep the evening going at one of Funchal's casinos. Place your bets on a spin of the wheel and indulge your James Bond fantasies well into the small hours.
