Aptly named the "floating garden," Madeira is Europe's very own tropical island lapped by the waters of the blue Atlantic and some 350 miles off the African coast. The Casino Park, a luxury development consisting of a hotel with its own casino and conference centre, is one of the island's finest, with a host of first-class facilities. The entire complex was conceived by the world-famous Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer.

Set in its own beautiful gardens and just a few minutes from the centre of the capital city of Funchal, the Casino Park Resort boasts an unrivaled position with uninterrupted views across the bay. There are 400 tastefully-decorated, air-conditioned bedrooms, including a number of suites all equipped with separate W.C. and bathroom, television, radio, direct-dial telephone and private balcony. Along with a choice of two bars, two restaurants and a coffee shop, the hotel has its own glittering nightclub and a separate casino with spectacular floor shows.
