About Madeira

Madeira is a stunning Portuguese island located in the North Atlantic, approximately 1 000 km southwest of Lisbon. Together with the smaller island of Porto Santo and the uninhabited Desertas and Selvagens islands, it forms an autonomous region of Portugal known for its year‑round springlike climate, towering mountains, lush forests, and breathtaking coastline. Famed for its natural beauty, warm hospitality, and vibrant traditions, Madeira blends adventure and relaxation in a destination where sustainable tourism and authentic experiences go hand in hand.

Two Islands.
Endless Experiences

Rising from the Atlantic like a green jewel, Madeira is a volcanic island where majestic mountains meet the ocean, where subtropical forests thrive, and where every path leads to a new adventure. Whether you’re here for rest, romance, or adrenaline, Madeira offers more than a holiday: it offers a feeling.

Nature That Takes Your Breath Away

Madeira is pure drama. Picture soaring cliffs, deep valleys, and a network of ancient levadas (irrigation channels) that double as some of Europe’s most scenic hiking trails. Explore the misty magic of the Laurissilva Forest – a UNESCO World Heritage site – or stand above the clouds at Pico do Areeiro as the sun rises over the peaks.

In every direction, nature amazes: volcanic pools in Porto Moniz, the black sand beaches of Seixal, or Cabo Girão’s glass skywalk suspended 580 meters above sea level.

A Paradise for Outdoor Lovers

This is an island made for movement. Hike, trail run, or mountain bike through rugged terrain. Take a Jeep safari off-road into untouched valleys. Paraglide over coastal cliffs. Or dive beneath the waves into a world of shipwrecks and marine life.

From canyoning in wild gorges to paddleboarding at sunrise, Madeira is where adventure meets beauty – always guided by experts who know and love the land.
