1. A World Away, Yet Closer Than You Realize

Madeira is so perfect because it joins the best of both worlds: It FEELS like an absolute world away from all the busyness and hubbub of your daily life, yet is only a short plane ride away! This ease of accessibility makes Madeira — a pristine island tucked amid the Atlantic — the most excellent choice for those seeking a true escape, yet not wanting to be stuck on a plane ride after a plane ride for hours on end to get there. You’d be surprised at how simple, and fast, getting to Madeira is thanks to easy direct connections offered from both mainland Europe and the United States! There has been a surge of interest in travel to this unique archipelago by Americans especially recently thanks to these easier and more convenient flight connections. It's a win-win. After all, who doesn’t love having the best of both worlds the last thing you need is to start your spa getaway off with a stressful travel experience.

2. Healthy & Delicious Mediterranean Cuisine

Most everyone already knows how amazing Portugal's Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is, but what you may not realize (perhaps because it is just so tasty) is how healthy it is as well — especially in the islands. Imagine the freshest seafood (literally think right off of the boat each morning), the choicest local fruits and vegetables, fine regional wines, unique spices, and more — all awaiting your enjoyment on every plate served in Madeira.

Few places can claim that they can offer visitors both delicious and fresh, healthy cuisine that also rivals any gourmet menu in Europe. Madeira not only can do so but does — with panache. This is great news for your spa getaway, because why choose to pamper only your soul and body via massages and healing treatments (of which there are many!) when you can also pamper your palate with the freshest, most excellent local gourmet fare? Think of it as just one more way to invest in your well-being, and indulge in flavors and tastes that you’ll not find anywhere else in the world.

3. Idyllic Climate for Ultimate Relaxation and Enjoyment

There is one main thing to consider about a spa getaway: it is all about YOU and what you need in that specific moment to truly relax and be refreshed and rejuvenated. The exact thing that will soothe your soul and body most will vary with each individual, which is what makes Madeira such an ideal locale for every traveler's spa vacation. Why? Because in Madeira, there is something for everyone to “find their fix”. The fact that Madeira enjoys a subtropical climate and boasts amazing beaches and stunning scene scapes allows for doing whatever it is that your heart desires, and for doing what best serves YOU. Does simply relaxing on the beach while working on your tan and soaking up the sun sound like your dream spa vacation? What about heading to a five-star spa to be pampered and spoiled for the entire day? This island world is your oyster, if you will, because you can do all of that and more in Madeira, with the island's spa scene being alive and well, and more than ready to make you feel like a queen (or king!)
