Beaches are rocky but the sea is warm, so pack your swimsuit. Beyond the water, Madeira entices adventurers with dolphin and whale watching excursions that showcase the rich marine life.

If you prefer dry land, Madeira’s rugged interior is ideal for hiking. Here, one can traverse the levadas, historic irrigation channels that have woven through the landscape for over a century, serving as a testament to human ingenuity and persistence. These paths guide trekkers through lush greenery and rugged terrain, offering a glimpse into the heart of Madeira’s natural beauty. Whether you’re basking in the warmth of the coastal sun or exploring the depths of the island’s interior, Madeira presents a wealth of experiences for every traveller.

20 minutes from the airport, the capital Funchal will awaken all your senses with its famous botanical gardens And a unique and delicious food and drink scene, while only 45 minutes away, the pretty resort of Calheta beckons with golden sands.
