Lush green unspoiled countryside, terraced farms and vineyards vie with the spectacular mountains, pine forests, waterfalls and craggy cliffs. Flora in abundance - orchids, hydrangeas, hibiscus, no wonder Madeira is called the Floating Garden. There are 600 miles of walks through unspoilt countryside, some are quite challenging.

A walker’s paradise. Watersports abound (subject to weather) with scuba diving, deep sea fishing and dinghy sailing. Sea bathing is quite safe. Enjoy a Jeep tour, a wine tour, toboggan ride, cable car ride, visit museums or go whale and dolphin watching. There are so many choices.

There is an excellent selection of bars and restaurants to tempt too! The mild climate makes Madeira ideal for golf, with two courses to choose from.
