Now that travel is once again a real possibility — after being stuck at home for ever so long — everyone is clamouring to escape to some magical place, removed from their everyday routine — and the stresses that daily life can bring. We definitely get it, but why stop at simply getting away? You deserve far more!
You are worth not only an overdue vacation that will take you away to someplace new, but one that will actually transport you to a “world away”. And what better way to do this than by indulging in a soothing, ultra luxurious spa getaway? Spa vacations are all the rage right now, and with good reason! After all, what a year it has been, and travellers the world over are the most stressed, harried, and in need of refreshment than ever.
The great news is that Portugal´s enchanting island of Madeira is the perfect place to do just that — slip away and be swept off your tired feet as you are wooed and refreshed by this dream destination's exceptional healing properties. It really is the ideal locale to relax and unwind as you reset post pandemic. Why? We´re glad you asked…
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 plane ride after plane ride for hours on end in order to get there.
You’d be surprised at how simple, and fast, getting to Madeira actually is thanks to easy direct connections offered from both mainland Europe and the United States! In fact, 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, and the last thing you need is to start your spa getaway off with a stressful travel experience!
Healthy AND 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 actually is as well — especially in the islands. Imagine the most fresh 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.
Among the amazing and appetizing local specialties you can look forward to sampling while visiting this island paradise for your spa retreat include: the freshest fish ever featured on a plate, fresh-baked regional bread that beats any world-renowned bakery, dazzling desserts, hearty and filling stews, exotic fruit-filled fare, and libations that are real luxuries for your taste buds, including local Madeiran wine and the island´s signature drink, a flavourful punch known as Poncha.
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!)
Ready to Plan Your Escape?
While you may already know what brings you the most relaxation and makes you feel the most pampered and pristine, the last thing you want when planning a spa getaway vacation is any added stress of having to work out all the tedious details! This can be especially the case if you are looking to take a trip to a destination you have never been to before. And even if you have visited the locale, taking the time to handle every single nitty-gritty detail can really put a damper on things. And who has the time?
The good news is that Portugal Getaways has taken the time to do all the legwork for you, offering you a carefully curated travel package featuring only the most relaxing, soothing, and healing island accommodations and experiences to ensure that your Madeira spa escape is everything your body, soul, and mind needs — and more. And the best part? All you have to do is sit back, relax, and let yourself be pampered. So, what can you look forward to when choosing our Madeira Superior Spa Experience package? We’re glad you asked…
