ETNA DISCOVERY

Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo invites its guests to an immersion in the Sicilian nature with a tour on top of Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe known for its surreal lunar landscapes created by the dozens of extinct craters, the so-called “buttons”, surrounded by old black lava flows and overlooking a breathtaking view on Sicilian coast. Perhaps you wouldn’t automatically associate the vast, dark craters and lunar-like landscapes with fine cuisine, yet Mount Etna’s fertile soil nurtures some truly amazing produce. In this awesome setting a surprise is waiting: a sommelier poised to pour you a glass of Etna sparkling wine and serve it with tasty local delicacies such as strawberries, almonds and pistachios. Sicily enjoys one of the highest numbers of designated DOP and IGP certified products in Italy, including five from Etna—pistachios, cherries, olive oil, wine and figs. Many of the foods arrived courtesy of other cultures. We have the Arabs to thank for our juicy oranges, for example. Tasting such specialities on the mountain that produced them is a one-of-a-kind experience. After the walk, guests will reach a traditional winery on the north slope of Etna where it will be possible to enjoy a lunch and wine tasting in the vineyards.

Price: €360 per 2 people (transfer not included) Upon request and availability.

WILD PENINSULA

This Belmond Reid’s Palace exclusive adventure sets off as soon as you arrive in breathtaking Caniçal at the southeastern end of Madeira island, to tread along the undulating trail of São Lourenço Peninsula, a rugged basalt landscape devoid of vegetation, a stark contrast to the island’s Laurisilva forest and lush levadas.

As you pass slivers of black-sand beaches and curious rock formations, discern other islands in the archipelago and note how huge waves batter the west flank of the peninsula while calmer waters lap the other side. By the path’s end, head down to the beach and take a dip in the clear sea.

After the enlivening walk, we will drive you to the nearby ‘Ponta do Rosto’ Viewpoint, where an energy-replenishing spread of detox juices, granola bars, healthy wraps, goji berries and fruits will be served as you soak up the invigorating vistas.

Price: €306 per person

Here resides Zarco, the much-loved mascot of Belmond Reid’s Palace, and his real-life monk seal chums hide in the caverns and grottos. Set sail through the Atlantic Ocean on a beautiful Princess V50 yacht where a private butler will serve champagne and luscious fruit. Upon reaching the islands, take a dip in the crystalline water before enjoying lunch on board. Then alight to explore Deserta Grande with an expert guide and, if you are in luck, Zarco will be at home – though he and his friends can be elusive. After a fascinating hour, set sail homewards, perhaps spotting dolphins or pilot whales along the way.
