Ultra Luxury Madrid Holidays

As the beating capital of Spain, Madrid is not just a city, it’s the ultimate Spanish experience—a whirlwind of tradition and heritage, historical art, and some of the most vibrant cuisine in the country. Found at the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid pulses with the Mediterranean’s soulful way of life at every corner.

As you explore its streets you’ll notice the old and new coming together, from the majestic Royal Palace dating back to the 18th century to trendy neighbourhoods teeming with tapas bars and designer boutiques. With sunny days that stretch into balmy nights, it’s no wonder people flock here year-round. Wander the tree-lined avenues, sip coffee in charming squares, and lose yourself in its sea of expressive cosmopolitcan culture.

The city is particularly famous for its golden triangle of art—housing masterpieces from Velázquez, Goya, and El Greco at the Prado Museum, Reina Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza. But there’s more to Madrid than just its world-renowned galleries. The lively neighbourhoods of Malasaña and Chueca are a snapshot of Madrid’s ultra-modern energy thanks to its quirky shops for picking up souvenirs, colourful street art to admire, and buzzing nightlife to enjoy the city after dark.

Beyond the galleries and bars, Madrid is also a city that knows how to feed you well. Its dining scene is first-class, from Michelin-starred restaurants to big-hearted tavernas serving up traditional Spanish favourites like patatas bravas and churros. If you’re looking for an iconic taste of Madrid, we recommend ordering a ‘bocadillo de calamares’ (fried squid sandwich) at one of the local markets—it’s a ritual for Madrid locals.

Where flamenco guitar strums fill the streets, soccer chants roar in the air, and festivals bring the city to life year-round, Madrid is practically beating with spirited celebration. Whether you're drawn to its historical landmarks, artsy culture, or grand streets of shops, eateries and cocktail bars, Madrid is a destination that welcomes every kind of holiday-goer.

frequently asked questions

Madrid is a must-visit any time of the year, but if you’re looking for milder weather and fewer crowds, then spring or autumn is ideal. Summer brings the city’s hottest temperatures but it’s also when the nightlife and festivals truly come to life.
Madrid’s metro is super-fast and reliable—and one of the best in Europe. Prefer a scenic route? You can walk, bike, or grab an electric scooter along the fascinating city streets.
Don’t miss the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, Retiro Park, Puerta del Sol, and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. We also recommend catching a flamenco show and exploring the historic districts of La Latina and Chueca where you can learn all about the city’s history dating back to the 9th century.
