MADEIRA

Repeatedly voted Europe's top island destination, Madeira has a lot to offer the tourist - with its dramatic coastal scenery and mountainous interior. And there are some fabulous hotels perched on clifftops with glorious views of the Atlantic.

Inland Adventures

If you're looking for a beach holiday that offers the opportunity for something a bit more energetic, Madeira might be just the ticket. Inland, there's levada walking, mountain walks and hiking.

Other Activities

Madeira's also a place of gentler pleasures such as wine tasting, visiting lush botanical gardens and watching embroiderers and wicker weavers at work.

LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS

TRAVEL GURU SUMMARY

If the Canaries aren't for you, Madeira's a great alternative for some Winter Sun. October temperatures are warm – with average highs of 24 degrees.

DONT MISS...

Snorkel with dolphins off the coast. Nothing’s ever guaranteed with wildlife - but to then see a pod of bottlenose, striped or spotted dolphins will give you goosebumps.
