In May 2009 a new section of Madeira’s Palheiro Estate complex was opened, Palheiro Spa, which joins Palheiro Gardens, Palheiro Golf and the Inn Casa Velha do Palheiro.

The new Spa was designed by the architect Bruno Martins aiming a blend with the surrounding area. There are four treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam bath, two pools (one indoor and another outdoor), and a fitness room available to the customers. The massage menu made up of organic natural products, also directed to golfers, and non invasive body and facial treatments are also available.

Set high in the hills overlooking Funchal, Casa Velha is a five-star country house hotel with a history stretching back more than 200 years. Facilities include 37 rooms, an outdoor pool area with sauna and steam bath, tennis, croquet and a private yacht for deep-sea fishing and/or dolphin- and whale-watching. http://www.casa-velha.com
