5* The Cliff Bay - Madeira

Embodies luxury from tip to toe

A soul-stirring escape

Madeira has been repeatedly voted as Europe’s and even the world’s best island destination many times over. Flanked by dramatic cliffs, fertile mountains and sun-soaked beaches, Madeira is a lush, colourful island of plants, paradise and Portuguese-flavoured pleasures. 
 
Guests can expect only the very best and this begins as soon as you arrive – check in comes with a complimentary glass of champagne and your bags are whisked away to your room before you even notice. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not, it’s just par for the course at The Cliff Bay.
 
The hotel is the epitome of elegance both inside and out. Vast, pretty flower-filled gardens are completed by three swimming pools, all of which have expansive, soul-stirring views. The excellence continues throughout the resort, via the soothing spa and continues all the way to your plate. The Cliff Bay is the only hotel on the island to host a two Michelin star restaurant.
 
The Cliff Bay has a direct access jetty to the ocean but note that hotels stand shoulder-to-shoulder on this stretch of coast. The hotel is just over a mile away from the town centre, and the airport, a 25-minute car ride, is approximately 10 miles from the hotel.
