Region guide

Madeira

Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic with a subtropical climate, extraordinary hiking through ancient laurel forests, dramatic coastal cliffs and a hotel culture that ranges from grand historic palaces to intimate design guesthouses. Year-round warmth, exceptional local food and wine, and a slow island pace make it one of Europe's most distinctive escapes.
