Destinations

Funchal, Madeira

Start in Madeira's vibrant capital — explore the Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the famous cable car ride. The Mercado dos Lavradores is perfect for local fruit and flavours. Use Funchal as a base for nearby levada walks like Levada do Caniço.
Porto Santo, Madeira

This charming north-coast village is ideal for accessing some of Madeira's most dramatic landscapes. Hike the Levada do Rei through lush laurisilva forest, a UNESCO-listed habitat. In the evenings, unwind in the peaceful village square with local poncha in hand.
Calheta, Portugal

Porto Moniz sits at Madeira's northwestern tip and is famous for its natural lava rock swimming pools — perfect for relaxation days. The Vereda dos Lameiros trail nearby offers stunning coastal cliff scenery. Fresh seafood here is exceptional, especially lapas (limpets).
