Laurea Spa

Find tranquility where the forest meets the water

The Laurissilva Forest is Madeira’s unique type of forest. Of vivid greens and striking floral palette,
involving you in stimulating scents mixed with the salty Atlantic breeze. It is healing and beautiful.

The meandering levadas and tunnels, sculpted to be part of a culture as passionate as liberating,
mark how one of the oldest forests of all time helped shape a rare lifestyle. 

This is the legacy that surrounds LAUREA SPA, an oasis of sensation in the heart of cosmopolitan Funchal.

In all its stimulating diversity you can find so many ways to feel the soothing effects of our treatments.
