While jackets are coming back out of the wardrobe in the Netherlands, there are plenty of places where autumn barely shows its face. Silverjet, part of ExperienceTravel, selects sunny spots for those who prefer to spend the season somewhere warmer.

The island of eternal spring

Madeira is known as the island of eternal spring for good reason. Year-round, temperatures range between 16 and 22°C. Exotic flowers, rare birds and rugged coastlines make this Portuguese island a natural paradise, while the capital Funchal offers plenty of variety. Hyatt Ziva Madeira sits on an idyllic marina, approximately forty minutes' drive from the city, and operates a refined all-inclusive concept.

A Greek autumn on Rhodes

On the northeast coast of Rhodes, surrounded by pine trees and near Anthony Quinn Bay and the beach, you will find Cabu Hotel. The light suites combine modern comfort with Greek accents. Some are designed as swim-up suites or feature a private pool. Mediterranean cuisine also takes centre stage at Cabú Restaurant. Those seeking more liveliness in between will find Rhodes Town just fifteen kilometres away.

Your feet in the sand of the Algarve

Just west of Albufeira lies Kimpton Atlantico Algarve, on one of the region's favourite beaches. Natural materials and sand tones give the hotel a warm character, while wellness rituals, regional flavours, lush gardens and views are all part of your stay. A wooden boardwalk leads you directly to São Rafael beach. A pleasant spot to keep the Dutch autumn at arm's length.

Caribbean with an Amsterdam touch

For those seeking further afield, Sandals operates several blissful Adults Only resorts scattered across the Caribbean, on Jamaica, Curaçao and Barbados among others. Depending on the service level chosen, options include 24-hour room service, access to the Club Sandals Lounge and personal butler service.

Guests who book a Caribbean Sandals Resort holiday in a Club Level room or Butler Suite receive a VIP Experience at Johan Cruijff ArenA. Around an Ajax home match in the Eredivisie, doors open that normally remain closed.
