Madeira - Wellness

In the eyes of the World, Madeira has come to be known as the Floating Garden. This group of Atlantic islands, with its century-old traditions, prides itself in its unequalled natural characteristics and clean, fragrant air.
On this enchanted garden isle with its mild climate and average temperatures of 19ºC in winter and 23ºC in summer, Madeira’s visitors will encounter the ideal setting in which to enjoy the perfect balance between body and soul.
Madeira’s rich natural and cultural heritage associated with its political and social stability, healthy gastronomy and the hospitality of its inhabitants provide a safe climate and make this a very favourable destination. In these modern times the Madeira Archipelago is considered to be a paradise of health and wellness where the visitor may choose to enjoy both relaxing and invigorating holidays at any time of the year.
Madeira is one of the oldest and most traditional European tourist destinations. This trend began soon after it was settled, back in the 15th century, at a time when the island was a compulsory stop on the European trade routes. Madeira benefited greatly as a destination from the expansion of the English crown in later centuries. Due to its strategic position and exceptional climate, Madeira became a port of call for stocking provisions and for the “acclimatization” of her majesty’s subjects on their travels to and from the English colonies in South Africa and India.
In the mid-19th century and as a consequence of the rise in the number of visitors, rented summer houses and family homes gave way to the island’s first hotels. Many people were attracted by the therapeutic qualities of the Island’s climate in curing respiratory diseases which were common at the time and difficult to treat.

Good health in today’s world

Nowadays people are more concerned with their health and wellness. Throughout time, people have acquired new habits in order to prolong life and ensure themselves of the best health conditions. People have become more aware that a life of “moderation” achieved through fitness and a healthy diet are essential to obtain a greatly improved quality of life. However, the environment that surrounds us is fundamental to our wellness.
The archipelago of Madeira possesses both healthy and natural elements: its unpolluted sea water, extracts of algae and plants, fresh fragrant flowers and its clean air. Within this environment of perfect harmony between Man and Nature, the proverb “a healthy mind in a healthy body” makes perfect sense because the visitor can truly experience great peace and spiritual calmness here.
