Madeira Holiday Guide

You don’t have to travel a long way to find the ideal holiday destination. There are endless reasons for visiting Madeira. In addition to its stunning scenery and luxuriant mountains, this archipelago offers a mild climate all year round, a warm welcome, peace, safety and security which all together make your holidays unforgettable.

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive Madeira break then we can suggest the Calheta Beach Hotel on one of the best beaches in Madeira or Pestana Royal Premium in the capital of Funchal.

To really get to know Madeira, climb to the top of a mountain and enjoy fantastic, breath-taking views or follow the trails and paths in the Laurissilva Forest along more than 1,400 km of Levadas, in a unique encounter with the island’s soul.

The capital of Madeira is Funchal. An exciting city that pulses just as vibrantly as many mainland areas. Feel the energy flowing from the cosmopolitan ambience of Funchal’s streets and purchase some souvenirs, like the famous Madeira embroidery, wine or wickerwork.

Recently awarded Europe’s Leading Island Destination and the World’s Leading Island Destination! Madeira truly is an island of natural and breathtaking beauty. With everything from mountains to seaside vistas in a relatively small space, it is an ideal destination for visitors who wish to try a variety of activities and explore without spending too much time travelling.

Misty mountains, crystal coves, sensational seafood – now’s the time to discover the Portuguese island of Madeira, and its capital Funchal. This shimmering jewel is as close to Morocco as it is to Portugal, meaning year-round sunshine.

We have been hiking the mountain trails, swimming in the infinity pools and scoffing octopus at one of 2023’s hottest spots. Quite frankly Madeira, they do give a damn.

The warm but not too hot, year round climate, makes it an attractive location for a luxury holiday. The capital, Funchal, is particularly geared toward tourists and every amenity imaginable is available for visitors. Of particular interest are the aqueducts or watercourses known as levadas, which distribute water, mostly rainfall, throughout Madeira. Walking or trekking is a popular activity; the levadas make great paths and provide stunning vistas.

Funchal also holds one of the biggest firework displays in the world on New Year’s Eve. It can be seen from several viewpoints at the marina in Funchal or on a cruise ship out on the water. During the rest of the year golfing, sailing and a wide variety of other water activities are popular, as is trekking. Couples, in particular, might enjoy the black sand beach at Prainha.
