Whether aquatic adventure or lazy days poolside we’ll help you experience the island to its fullest.

The silhouettes of two hikers on the Levada da Negra stop to view the incredible cloud-shrouded ridge of Pico do Arieiro.

Sunrise above the clouds

Jump in a 4x4 jeep from Reid’s Palace and we’ll take you up above the clouds to watch the sun rise from the 1,818-metre Pico do Arieiro, Madeira's third highest peak. The views are sure to take your breath away.

Adding to the magic, a private butler will be waiting to serve you a breakfast of fresh pastries and succulent fruits.
