Madeira

An island of cliffs, levadas and laurel forest

Funchal, the capital, sits on the sunny south coast, between the harbour and the steep hills behind it. Its old town, gardens and seafront are a short walk from each other.

Beyond the city, Madeira is a place for walking: trails along the levadas, the laurel forest of Laurisilva and peaks that rise above the clouds, with the ocean always in view.
