Golf

Madeira is one of Europe’s most beautiful sporting locations – the perfect year-round golf destination.

The 18-hole 72-par Palheiro golf course sits high in the eastern hills above the island’s capital city Funchal, overlooking the sunny south-coast and deep-blue Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re thinking of a week’s stay or a long golfing weekend, the Casa Velha do Palheiro is an ideal place to stay: the casa is the island’s oldest country-house hotel; part of the same Palheiro estate which includes the golf course and ornate gardens.
