Madeira golf hotels
Year-round golf
One of the greatest things about Madeira is that it stays warm throughout the year. In summer, practising your swing won’t be too hot to bear, thanks to temperatures around the 25°C mark. And for golf with a bit of breezy respite, winter’s wonderful at a moderate 19°C.
Grab your walking boots
Between dense laurissilva forests and banana plantations, Madeira’s acclaimed levada walks will take you on remarkable journeys. Ditch the clubs and don your comfiest walking boots – it’s time to check out this island’s superb scenery on foot! Don’t forget your camera, because holiday snaps don’t get much prettier.
From the fairways to Funchal
A whole day of discovery awaits in the cool capital, Funchal. From incredible botanical gardens to a medley of museums, seafood restaurants to chequerboard squares, there’s all sorts to be revealed. Planning to stay out in the evening? Chic cocktail bars won’t be hard to find.
