An island that is politically part of Portugal but climatically closer to the African continent is a true natural paradise and offers a wide range of leisure activities. A natural paradise for adventurers and connoisseurs! Madeira inspires with breathtaking hiking trails along the famous levadas, spectacular viewpoints such as the Pico do Arieiro and the unique natural pools of Porto Moniz.
For adrenaline lovers, there is canyoning, paragliding and surfing on the island’s wild beaches. A very special highlight is the traditional wicker sledge ride from Monte to Funchal – an experience that combines history and a good dose of thrills. Ricardo Farinha presented the seven unique hotels that offer the perfect experience for every traveller:
