Three new luxury hotels to open in Madeira
Three new luxury hotels are opening in Madeira this June, including the latest property from Pestana, whose timeshare arm Pestana Vacation Club is affiliated to RCI.
Pestana Churchill Bay, The Savoy Palace and Les Suites at The Cliff Bay are all set to open on the popular Portuguese island in the South Atlantic.
With dramatic volcanic landscapes, warm year round weather, beautiful mountain trails, wines and tasty food, Madeira has wide-ranging appeal, and is also becoming an emerging destination for American visitorss. It was recently listed on Travel + Leisure’s top places to visit in 2019. And, TAP will offer one-stop flight services to seven US cities this summer for the first time.
Pestana Churchill Bay
Overlooking the bay that inspired Winston Churchill’s paintings in the 1950s, Pestana Churchill Bay is the first hotel on the waterfront of the scenic fishing town Câmara de Lobos. The new five-star property offers 57 contemporary-styled rooms, restaurant and bar services and a panoramic rooftop pool with views over the sea and colourful bay. Just a few minutes’ from Funchal, the capital of Madeira, Pestana Churchill Bay is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing vacation in an authentic setting.
The Savoy Palace Hotel
Influenced by Belle Époque sophistication, The Savoy Palace Hotel is Madeira’s new five-star property and member of the ‘Leading Hotels of the World’, located between the ocean and the city of Funchal. The contemporary hotel offers a mix of classic luxury with modern comfort, featuring 352 rooms and suites, eight meeting spaces and a congress room with capacity for 1,400 people. The Savoy Palace Hotel has five restaurants, six bars and a Spa with 11 treatment rooms.
Les Suites at The Cliff Bay
Set on a hilltop with amazing sea views, Les Suites at The Cliff Bay is a new five-star resort offered by the Porto Bay Hotels & Resorts group. The new property is adjacent to The Cliff Bay Hotel and features 23 luxury suites equipped with a kitchen and dining area and surrounded by extensive gardens. Guests at Les Suites have access to all of the property’s facilities, including a 2 Michelin-star restaurant with an ocean view, two bars, Spa and wellness facilities and an infinity pool. With direct sea access and close to the city’s dynamic shopping area, Les Suites at The Cliff Bay has the perfect location for enjoying the best of sunny Madeira.
The Madeira Islands, an archipelago 750 miles southwest of Lisbon in the Atlantic Ocean, has a nearly perfect climate – warm in winter but not too hot in summer.
Ancient volcanic cliffs that rise dramatically from the sea dominate Madeira’s fascinating landscape, and when Portuguese explorers came upon the island in 1420, they thought its dark cliffs signalled the gates of hell, but the truth is rather more appealing.
