Discover a little piece of paradise

One person’s hot spot is often another’s inferno; unlike Madeira. Founded in the 15th century; this Portugese island (just a 90-minute flight from Lisbon) makes good on its heavenly boast.
Dubbed ‘the floating garden’, its verdant landscape, fed by a year-round Mediterranean climate, sets the scene for the perfect getaway. Small and perfectly formed, the main island (and its archipelago Porto Santo, Selvagens and Desertas Islands) belies untold diversity.
