The Madeira Carnival Parade is an unmissable spectacle, bringing together locals and visitors for a night of pure festivity.

If you're looking for a burst of sunshine and pure, unadulterated energy to blow away the winter blues, you absolutely have to join us for Carnival in Madeira! It’s not just a parade; it's an explosion of colour, music, and non-stop festive spirit that takes over the whole island. And the best part? Our perfectly located hotel puts you right in the heart of the Funchal action, meaning zero stress about taxis or public transport—you can literally step out and join the party!

Picture yourself soaking up the beautiful island vibes, watching those incredible, huge floats and dancers stream by - maybe even getting decked out in your own sparkling costume - and join the spontaneous street parties. Plus, we've dedicated time for a tour to the east of the island and included a visit to the stunning, secluded Nun's Valley (Curral das Freiras).

No trip to Madeira would be complete without a chance to ride down the streets on the famous toboggans so we’ve included that too!! It’s the perfect blend of high-octane celebration and daytime exploration. You do not want to miss this fiesta!
