The Savoy Palace is a five-star resort on Funchal’s seafront avenue on Madeira, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, with a design inspired by the island’s Laurissilva forest and traditions. Rooms and suites range from garden to ocean views, several looking over the bay. Dining is a strength, from the rooftop Galaxia Skyfood tasting experience and Skybar to the fire-focused Pau de Lume, the Italian and Mediterranean Orchidaceae Atelier, the contemporary Alameda and a buffet with live cooking. The Laurea Spa draws on the Laurissilva forest, with a signature massage using Madeiran volcanic stones, a water circuit and a gym. There is an outdoor pool and rooftop venues, plus island experiences from wine tastings to tours. It suits couples and families who want island luxury with strong dining and a notable spa, based in Funchal with the island to explore.
