Surrounded by spectacular scenery and set on the shores of the Atlantic, in Caniço do Baixo, lies the Hotel Palace Madeira, a unique place in which to enjoy one's holiday, without renouncing the quality and luxury Riu always offers its guests.
Holidays in Madeira...
The volcanic peaks that crown Madeira give way to deep ravines that link the interior to the coast. Those occasional visitors, the clouds, bring rain and dampness, sustaining the lush vegetation that emerges everywhere. Some mountainous areas still have Laurisilva forests, authentic relics of prehistory. The rugged, often impassable terrain, has obliged the local population to construct agricultural terraces that look like coloured jigsaw puzzles.
Natural beaches and ports are conspicuous by their absence; giddy cliffs that reach down to kiss the sea prevail on this island. In spite of all this, the Atlantic coast bubbles over with life, making it perfect for fishing and diving. The extremely pleasant temperatures all year round will enable you to enjoy this idyllic island, with its privileged natural assets.
