Saccharum Resort & Spa MADEIRA ISLAND, PORTUGAL
Embedded in the breathtaking cliffs of Calheta, Madeira, Saccharum Resort & Spa is set on the island’s southwestern Atlantic coast. It is closely linked to the surrounding natural environment and vegetation, specifically sugarcane, a regional product first brought to the region of Madeira in the 15th century. The resort epitomises the pinnacle of luxury
immersed in nature, seamlessly blending opulence with sustainable practices. Nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking the serene waters, this haven redefines hospitality. It’s commitment to sustainability is exemplified through its innovative and considered approaches. One noteworthy approach is the meticulous
incorporation of seasonal and regional products into its culinary offerings. By embracing local flavors, Saccharum not only ensures a unique and authentic gastronomic experience but also reduces its carbon footprint. The resort’s three restaurants and five bars present fresh and innovative menus, with particular attention given to regional ingredients.
Fish, seafood, sugarcane, passionfruit, banana
and sweet potato are all ingredients that stand out for their freshness and local origin and form the foundation of the diverse range of available dishes and cocktails. The philosophy of the Saccharum Spa is based
on ancient traditional ayurveda practices. The spa offers a set of treatments and rituals that provide holistic and invigorating experiences in collaboration with holistic brand ILA and OIiófora (a Portuguese brand of cold-pressed, sustainability extracted natural essential oils). This five-star hotel stands out due to its unique
and relaxing experiences, which range from romantic dinners overlooking the sea and yoga classes to ardening workshops and local food workshops. Outside of Saccharum, guests are encouraged
to explore the municipality of Calheta, which has a strong connection with the resort. In the village, there are regional products to peruse and heritage experiences to immerse yourself in, providing guests with an authentic Madeiran experience.
DON’T MISS The Local Food Workshop includes a visit to the nearby organic market, followed by lunch with the resort’s chef
