Local cuisine is diverse, bold, and unforgettable. One of the most iconic dishes is black scabbard fish with banana, a surprising blend of the delicate fish and the sweetness of Madeira’s local banana.

WORLD GOLF AWARDS This golden era for Madeira has also extended to the regional golf sector, which shone brightly by collecting nearly a handful of accolades at the World Golf Awards, held in Funchal on 22 October.

In addition to being crowned the World's Best Emerging Golf Destination, the growing prominence of this Atlantic archipelago in the golf industry was further acknowledged with three more distinctions awarded to its golf courses.

Palheiro Golf took home the title of World’s Best Panoramic Clubhouse, while the Santo da Serra Golf Club was honoured with two awards: World’s Best Par-3 Hole and World’s Best Sustainable Water Management System, once again highlighting the unique offerings of Madeira’s golf sector and its commitment to environmental preservation.

It is worth noting that in this paradise for golf enthusiasts, the sector is represented under a unified brand: the Madeira Golf Passport (MGP). Launched in 2016, this initiative was designed to promote and establish the archipelago as a premier destination for golfing.

The result of a strategic partnership between the Madeira Promotion Bureau and the three regional golf courses - Santo da Serra Golf Club, Palheiro Golf, and Porto Santo Golf - this brand consolidates Madeira’s golf offerings by introducing a unique passport. This allows golfers to play at any regional course by purchasing packages of three, four, or five rounds.

Today, the Madeira Golf Passport is an integral part of the region’s identity, recognised in strategic markets where the archipelago is seen as an exceptional year-round golf destination with ever-growing appeal.

THREE EXCEPTIONAL COURSES Seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape, with sunny days year-round and top-notch infrastructure, Madeira and Porto Santo boast three magnificent golf courses that promise a truly unforgettable experience for golf enthusiasts.

First, there’s Porto Santo Golf, designed by the legendary Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros, offering the perfect blend of natural beauty and challenging play across 6,434 meters. Each game is an adventure through 18 holes, leading players across the island’s northern and southern coasts.

Along the way, golfers encounter basalt cliffs, sweeping views of sand dunes, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Next, Palheiro Golf, situated in the heart of the Palheiro Nature Estate and just 10 minutes from Funchal’s city centre, is another iconic course in Madeira. With its privileged location, golfers on this course – designed by golf architect Cabell B. Robinson and inaugurated in 1993 – are treated to panoramic views of the Desertas Islands and Funchal’s amphitheatre, offering unparalleled visual splendour throughout its 18 holes.

Lastly, but no less spectacular, the Santo da Serra Golf Club has been challenging players to embrace Madeira’s natural beauty, from sea to mountains, since 1937. With 27 holes divided into three circuits, this course – redesigned in 1991 by architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. – is like a botanical garden perched above Machico Bay and the Desertas Islands, captivating any golf enthusiast.

In addition to their unmatched beauty, these courses also stand out for their steadfast commitment to environmental preservation. They have progressively adopted more sustainable practices and solutions, such as implementing innovative irrigation systems to reduce natural resource consumption. This commitment has earned them recognition, including certification from the GEO Foundation, which endorses their environmentally responsible practices.

27

A HISTORIC YEAR FOR GOLF IN MADEIRA It is precisely this uniqueness, commitment, and quality of the three regional golf courses that underpin Madeira’s international recognition and continued success year after year.

And when it comes to numbers, the results speak for themselves. If 2023 was a record-breaking year for Madeiran golf, 2024 is on track to follow the same growth trajectory. According to data from Madeira’s Regional Directorate of Statistics, regional golf courses recorded 75,072 rounds last year, setting a record for the archipelago and marking an 8.3% increase compared to the previous year.

By September of this year, 55,201 rounds had already been registered, reflecting an 8.9% growth over the same period in 2023. Of these, 42,876 rounds were played by international golfers, representing a 16.4% increase compared to the previous year—another clear indicator of Madeira’s growing reputation beyond its borders.

As of 2023, the demand for golf is led by the Nordic countries, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Looking ahead, these results predict a promising end to the year for Madeira, solidifying its place as a worldclass golf destination with an increasingly diverse and sustainable offering. It is even possible that new records may be set in this thriving sector.

What’s certain is that this success extends to the entire destination, which, with a shelf full of awards and distinctions, is poised to enter 2025 on the right foot.

With this goal in mind, the brand has consolidated the offering of this sport in Madeira by creating a unique passport, which currently allows golfers to play at any of the regional courses by purchasing a package of three, four, or five rounds.

Eight years after its implementation, the Madeira Golf Passport has become an essential element of the islands’ identity and is now a recognised brand in strategic markets where the archipelago is perceived as an exceptional yearround golf destination that continues to expand.

The hotel is nestled within an expansive paradise of lowland forests, home to an exceptional array of biodiversity.

Originally named "Gaia Garden," it served as a conservation center for local species and orchids. During its construction in 2005, much of the area was preserved to support wildlife, which can now be explored through our daily nature tours.

Guests have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Costa Rica's flora and fauna while learning about our Scarlet Macaw reintroduction program.

Gaia's Nature Reserve embodies the best of Costa Rica, preserving diverse species for future generations and minimizing our ecological footprint.

Located in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, Hotel Gaia can be found at: 618 Jungle Villa Road, Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Costa Rica.
