style your stay

Madeira in Style is a personal travel-planning service for people who want their time in Madeira to feel entirely their own.

When people ask what I actually do, the simplest answer is that I look after the stay as a whole.

I start with a conversation. Who’s coming, how you like to travel, what you’re hoping for and what you really don’t want. Some guests arrive with a very clear idea. Others simply know they need a holiday.

I work with a small collection of private homes across Madeira, each suited to a different kind of stay. Rather than sending you endless links, I’ll recommend the one I genuinely think is right for you. If I don’t think a home will work, I’ll tell you.

Once the home is settled, I can arrange everything around it. Airport transfers, private chefs, yoga, massage treatments, guided walks, boat days, restaurant bookings, celebrations, or simply a few well-planned days with plenty of space left in between.

You may want to explore as much of the island as possible, or spend most of the week enjoying the home you’ve chosen. Usually, it’s somewhere between the two.

I work with people across Madeira whom I know and trust, and I remain your main point of contact before and during your stay. If plans change, questions come up or something needs sorting, you know who to speak to.

The idea is simple: more time enjoying Madeira, less time organising it.

A few ways your stay could look

Some people come to Madeira wanting to do as little as possible.

Others want to be halfway up a mountain before breakfast. Both are perfectly acceptable.

The two stays below are simply examples of how a week here could look. Take what you like, leave what you don’t, and we’ll style the rest around you.

the slow escape

Slow luxury escape in Madeira with ocean views and wellness experiences

For anyone who likes slow mornings, long lunches and has absolutely no desire to squeeze the entire island into seven days.

There’s still plenty to do, just at a pace that leaves time to enjoy where you’re staying. A massage here, a private chef there, and a day exploring when the mood takes you.

Your week could include:

  • A private island home

  • Airport transfers

  • A privately guided day exploring the island

  • In-villa massage treatments

  • A watercolour painting session

  • Breathwork

  • Yoga

  • A private chef experience

  • Restaurant recommendations and island notes

The Island Escape

Luxury private villa stay in Madeira with curated island experiences

For anyone who wants to see more than the view from the villa.

This is the more active option: mountain walks, coastal days and a proper look around the island, with good food and enough time in between to enjoy where you’re staying. You’ll see plenty without needing another holiday to recover from it.

Your week could include:

  • A private island home

  • Airport transfers

  • A private island tour

  • Guided coastal and mountain walks

  • Yoga

  • In-villa massage treatments

  • Coasteering

  • A private chef experience

  • Restaurant recommendations and island notes

From finding the right home to arranging private chefs, wellness, island experiences and the details in between, I’ll look after as much, or as little, of your stay as you need.

Tell me a little about the kind of stay you're looking for, and I'll take it from there.

For Travel partners

Madeira in Style works with travel advisers, concierge companies and private offices looking for reliable support on the island.

I can help with private homes, arrival preparation, chefs, wellness, activities, celebrations and the details that inevitably arise during a stay. I remain personally involved throughout, giving you and your client one point of contact in Madeira.
