Volcanic, wild, diverse - Madeira is a heaven for walkers. Staying in four-star hotels throughout, we experience the most beautiful routes on this Portuguese island, from gentle strolls along flower-lined levadas (centuries-old waterways) and spectacular coastal footpaths to more demanding forays among the jagged ridges and peaks of the mountainous interior. There’s also time to relax by the sea in Machico village, see waves crash close to shore in Porto Moniz and discover the historic importance of Funchal, an old trade hub for sugar and wine.
  • Walk through the botanical paradise of Madeira
  • Stroll alongside flower-lined levadas with stunning coastal views
  • Discover spectacular mountain scenery, including Pico Ruivo, the highest peak on the island
  • Visit Unesco sites include the ancient Fanal Forest
  • Enjoy a mild year-round climate, perfect for walking

Throughout the trek, we stay in good quality hotels, some right on the coast with amazing views. Below are the hotels we normally use:



Machico: Hotel Dom Pedro (nights 1-2)







The hotel has sweeping views over Machico Bay and offers a range of leisure amenities, including table tennis, a pool table, and an outdoor pool (open in good weather). There is a piano bar with occasional live music and coffee/cake is served throughout the day in the lounge area.



Porto Moniz:



Hotel Aqua Natura Bay (nights 3-5)







The Hotel Agua Natura Bay has an enviable location with views over the natural swimming pools in town. Hotel amenities include a hot tub and sauna where you can rest your tired limbs, and we dine in the excellent hotel restaurants during our stay.



Funchal: Pestana Casino Studios (nights 6-7)







Pestana Casino Studios is ideally placed for exploring, just a five-minute walk to the centre of Funchal. It also has an outdoor pool and access to the indoor pool and spa facilities of the neighbouring Pestana Casino Park Resort.
