Floating idyllically off the north coast of Africa, is the Portuguese paradise island of Madeira. Although technically part of Portugal, the Madeiran archipelago sits surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean with dramatic cliff edges that border each island. Its rugged landscape rises and falls with striking volcanic peaks covered in greenery, which makes for some great countryside walks. The luxurious Saccharum ***** finds itself set along the idyllic west coast of the island, in Calheta, a place famous for being one of the sunniest locations in Madeira.
Madeira’s history is heavily influenced by Europe’s love affair with sugar, which is why the award-winning Madeiran interior designer Nini Andrade Silva chose to draw his inspiration from this natural resource when designing the Saccharum *****. The natural sugar cane theme runs throughout the sleekly designed hotel, combining effortlessly with the sophisticated furnishings. Sugar cane brown and a leafy green give a natural ambience to the interior of the hotel, whilst the exterior boasts impressive architecture and an outdoor centrepiece.
The hotel is impressively spacious, which is a significant feat on such a small island. Minimalist, yet with all the modern conveniences you might require, all the Savoy’s rooms feel spacious and ultra-comfortable. In some rooms, you can even spread out on a generously sized bed and take in the glistening sea views. Just downstairs and across the way sits a private sandy beach, where you can enjoy the rays of the sunniest part of the island. Above ground is the remarkable rooftop swimming pool combined with a poolside bar, for those all-important refreshments.
If you’re looking for more indoor comfort and facilities, head down to the lavish spa, where you can experience the feel of the ocean without having to head to the beach. Re-energise with treatments for the mind, body, and soul before heading out on one of Madeira’s walks, or ‘levadas’, for an afternoon or evening stroll. This island paradise offers the perfect holiday combination, helping you to find peace between the picturesque hills and the enticing ocean.
