Madeira has been voted the best island destination in Europe by the 2021 World Travel Awards.
Speak to any of our regular guests at our Encosta Cabo Girao property, and they're bound to sing Madeira's praises. But they're not the only ones… The World Travel Awards has named Madeira the "Best Island Destination in Europe" in 2021.
The World Travel Awards are voted for by both the public and by holiday professionals from across the world, and are recognised as the top tourism awards across several sectors. This year, Madeira claimed the coveted prize for an impressive eighth time.
Sometimes referred to as the ‘Floating Flower pot' or ‘Green Pearl’, Madeira is known worldwide for its wonderful array of vibrant flora, which grows more or less year-round. This is due to the lovely spring-like climate, which makes it a fantastic place to visit at any time of year. But that's not all you can discover in this island paradise – from rainforest trails to hidden waterfalls, azure seas and fascinating wildlife, it's a haven for nature-lovers. Add in the delicious food, charming towns and fascinating history, and it's no surprise that people return time and time again.
Whether you're after a relaxing break or an action-packed adventure, holidaymakers will find lots to do during their visit. Follow in the footsteps of history on a long levada walk (old waterways that create an excellent network of walking trails), relax on the spectacular beaches and immerse yourself in Madeira's charming villages. There really is something for everyone, so why not come and discover this award-winning island for yourself?
