Madeira is a sanctuary of natural beauty where the colour of the sea and the green spaces combine to create a spectacular landscape. Thanks to a privileged geographical location and its mountain relief, you'll be able to enjoy spring temperatures all year round, ideal for taking part in outdoor activities.

Madeira is known to be a dynamic, creative and multifaceted destination where visitors can enjoy a wide range of cultural and sports-related activities - there really is something for everyone on this archipelago.
Every month the islands of Madeira are the setting for numerous cultural and ethnographic events that evoke and reflect the richness and traditions of the Madeiran people.

For lovers of the sea, Madeira's conditions are fantastic all year round for snorkelling, scuba diving, sailing, surfing and sport fishing. In fact, some of the best waves in Europe are located on the beaches of Jardim do Mar, Fajã da Areia and Porto da Cruz.

If you choose land-based activities, golf, trekking and walks are excellent alternatives from which to explore the corners of this green archipelago.
Discovering the impressive patchwork of green at this destination is another of the great pleasures of Madeira. If you must choose a place, nothing beats exploring the paths and trails through the Laurisilva Forest, which has been declared a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.
