Madeira Resorts & Tours

Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean, about 600 miles southwest of Lisbon, known for its steep green mountains, levada walking trails along old irrigation channels, year-round flowers and fortified Madeira wine. Most visitors stay in Funchal, the capital, either near the old town or in the hotel zone west of the center, with quieter options in Caniço and on the sunny southwest coast around Calheta.

International flights land at Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport (FNC) near Santa Cruz, about 20 to 25 minutes from Funchal by car. The local currency is the euro. The climate is mild all year, with warm, dry summers and a cooler, wetter season from about November to March.
