Any self-respecting fan of sea, sun and sand has a penchant for islands. Find inspiration at our hotels between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean.
The luxury of these destinations lies in their simplicity: gastronomy, handicrafts, culture, local traditions and, of course, miles of undiscovered coastline.
Madeira
The mountains and valleys provide an idyllic setting that contrasts wonderfully with the ever-present sea. Choose your favourite hotel in Madeira from among our selection of 15, making sure you take time to explore the picturesque villages. Some are off the beaten track, but all represent the region’s authenticity.
Porto Santo
If you’re looking for golden sands and crystalline waters, what could be better than the five-star Pestana Porto Santo All Inclusive, which is a minute’s walk from the beach. Boasting a coastline of around nine kilometres, this island invites a relaxing holiday by the ocean.
Azores
Composed of nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic, this archipelago has surprising geographical diversity. If you’re keen on the natural world, book a hotel in Azores, in Faial, Terceira or São Miguel, where you can discover lagoons, natural pools and volcanic craters.
São Tomé and Príncipe
The country’s colonial architecture and local markets are a reflection of its history and culture. Take your pick from our three São Tomé and Príncipe hotels, which offer either the city or the sea. Whichever you choose, immerse yourself in the variety and tranquillity of this fascinating destination.
Cape Verde
This island comes to life through its music and gastronomy, which offers simple but authentic flavours. Discover more at the Pestana Trópico hotel, which is located on Santiago Island, just 10 minutes from Plateau’s historic centre.
Bazaruto
It only takes a second to fall for the marvellous beaches with their crystal-clear waters. Reserve a bungalow or villa at the Pestana Bazaruto Lodge and enjoy being immersed in the wonders of nature. At the eco-resort, don’t forget there are various activities where guests can explore the local marine fauna and coral reefs.
