Madeira Vacations Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

Take a trip to Madeira on your Portugal vacation.

The Madeira archipelago is a Portuguese treasure consisting of two main islands: Madeira and Porto Santo, each with unique natural beauty and a year-round springtime climate, nestled in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean. 

Begin your Portugal vacation in Funchal, a capital city with five centuries of history, showcasing world-class restaurants, luxurious hotels, and a vibrant nightlife scene. Funchal is celebrated as one of the safest and cleanest cities in Europe, set against the dramatic backdrop of mountains, banana plantations, and exotic gardens open for you to discover. 

Explore the Gothic Cathedral and former Bishop's Palace housing the Museum of Sacred Art in Funchal's historic city centre before indulging in delicious exotic fruits and local treats like Bolo de Mel at the lively farmers' market. Get glimpses of the city's artistry and viticulture heritage at the Sao Tiago Fort, now the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Embroidery and Wine Museums. 

Head to the tranquil Island of Porto Santo, accessible via a ferry from Madeira, for a relaxing change of pace, boasting breathtaking landscapes, pristine beaches, and opportunities for whale watching and swimming with dolphins. The capital, Vila Baleira, invites you to discover the palm-lined streets, artisanal crafts, and a wide range of activities, including thalassotherapy treatments and scenic hikes up Pico do Facho and Pico do Castelo. 

Madeira is home to three excellent golf courses on the two islands, including the Palheiro Golf and Santo da Serra Golf Club in Madeira, as well as Porto Santo Golf, offering memorable rounds in a golfer’s paradise.
