Hyatt Ziva Madeira is a fantastic option for golfers who want to combine Madeira’s spectacular courses with the simplicity of a luxury all-inclusive stay. Set on the island’s quieter eastern coastline in Caniçal, the five-star resort overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and has its own marina and private pebble beach. For us, it works particularly well for couples and groups who want plenty to enjoy away from the golf without needing to head into Funchal every evening.

The resort has 366 rooms and suites, all renovated with a bright, contemporary style inspired by Madeira’s coastal villages. Every room has a furnished balcony or terrace, with options overlooking the gardens, marina or Atlantic Ocean. There are also larger Junior Suites, family accommodation and Preferred Club categories, including swim-up rooms and impressive multi-bedroom townhouses with private pools for groups wanting something extra special.

One of the biggest attractions is the all-inclusive experience. Food and drinks are taken care of throughout your stay, with seven speciality restaurants and six bars providing plenty of variety. You can move between Portuguese and international flavours, relaxed poolside dining and more refined evening meals without needing to leave the resort. Room service is available 24 hours a day and minibars are replenished daily, which makes returning from a full day on the golf course particularly easy.

There is plenty to enjoy when you are not playing. Four outdoor pools include quieter adults-only areas as well as family facilities, while the 900-square-metre spa is ideal after several rounds of golf. Its wellness facilities include a water circuit, heated indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam and treatment rooms, alongside a fully equipped gym.

For golfers, the location works particularly well for Santo da Serra Golf Club, Madeira’s spectacular 27-hole Robert Trent Jones Sr. design overlooking Machico Bay. Palheiro Golf near Funchal can also easily be included, giving you two very different mountain and ocean golf experiences during the same trip.

We would also leave some time to explore the island. The dramatic Ponta de São Lourenço peninsula is nearby, while Funchal is around 30 minutes away. Madeira’s mountain roads, levada walks, viewpoints and coastline mean there is far more to the destination than golf alone.

For golfers wanting five-star all-inclusive accommodation, Atlantic views and easy access to Madeira’s leading courses, Hyatt Ziva Madeira is an excellent base.
