Madrid is the buzzing cosmopolitan capital of Spain, oozing with potential for a memorable holiday. A bustling hub of life, leisure, and business that is full of wonder; it’s a worthy alternative to consider if you’re looking at a city getaway compared to the other frequented rural regions of the nation. Here you can live up the culture of a Mediterranean metropolis, dine in high-end restaurants eating foods from afar, and enjoy the pleasure of favourable temperatures thanks to the city’s closeness to the equator.

You’ll be throttled by how Madrid treats you. Choose from an array of luxury resorts where you can pitch up in accommodation fit for royalty, a high-end HQ for you to relieve your stresses between city adventures. Everything you could wish to see and do is right at your feet, as a majority of ultra-luxe resorts are in proximity to the same landmarks, so if you’re looking for practicality, you’ve certainly got it. Even the local Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport is approximately 15 to 20-minutes away by car from most hotels, with many providing luxury chauffeur service to and from to make your travel as effortless as possible.

Spend your holiday picnicking at Retiro Park, watching traditional sport like bullfights at Las Ventas, or cheering on Real Madrid CF at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. When you’re done spoiling yourself with the fruits of the city, return to your jaw-dropping accommodation and enjoy the in-house leisure activities. The resorts speak your language and know that you want to see a spa, wellness centre, swimming pools, bars and butler services to complement your holiday. With every attraction and luxury at your fingertips, it’s safe to say that Madrid is your oyster, and you are the pearl.
