You can get this holiday to the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ for just £249

Sounds like a little slice of paradise!

Many of us around the UK are dreaming of a some winter sun this time of the year, and you could soon be at a five-star resort with this holiday deal.

The location has been dubbed the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ because of its dramatic, emerald green cliffs, reminiscent of the pacific archipelago.

It's the island of Madeira, a Portuguese island that's located just off the coast of Morocco, so it's perfect for those looking for some winter sun.

The island is about a four hour flight from the UK, so you could be there in no time and not have to break the bank with this package deal.

You can book a five-star, luxury Madeira beach holiday with return flights on Wowcher for as low as £249 per person.

The package is available from 14 airports in the UK including London Gatwick and Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Belfast.

You can book a three, four, five or seven-night Madeira stay in a room with a sea view and two meals a day, plus the trip includes a boat tour and access to leisure and sports facilities at the resort.

The three-night stay is at the cheapest price point of £249 per person, while five nights starts at £499pp and seven nights from £649pp.

But with return flights, meals and plenty of hotel perks to enjoy (including infinity pools) you could save some pennies and cure those January blues with the Wowcher deal.

The hotel is also situated near the lively city of Funchal. You can go scuba diving and explore Madeira’s marine life, discover dolphins and whales on the horizon and take a guided tour to the top of the Madeira Peaks - you certainly won't get bored!

Madeira has it all, incredible wildlife, brilliant food, stunning beaches – the lot.

And there’s also a certain famous footballer who hails from the island who you may have heard of.

Funchal, the capital, boasts some of the best local cuisine, and the island is known the world over for its fortified wine.

It’s not just for foodies though, if you like a beach holiday or would rather get up and go for a hike in the mountains, Madeira has you covered.

Madeira is a volcanic island that is the home of one of football's greatest talents, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Remember that terrible statue of Ronaldo that got rightly rinsed online? Well that was in Madeira.

And if you’re a Ronaldo superfan, or are trying to convince someone who is to splurge out on a winter holiday, there’s a dedicated museum for CR7 on the island.

If you’re worried about the weather, don’t be. The island enjoys temperate climate all year long.

As if that weren’t enough, there’s not even a time difference between Madeira and the UK, so need to worry about that pesky jet lag after a few days over there.
