Madeira Luxury Holidays
The largest of a group of five islands formed by volcanic eruption, Madeira
is actually the summit of a mountain range rising four miles from the
seabed. The island’s coastline is equally awe-inspiring with steep and
rocky cliffs ingrained with lava gorges.
With a verdant landscape that shimmers in the year-round sunshine,
hospitable locals, and a mild subtropical climate, it’s easy to take Madeira
to your heart. Named after the abundant funcho (fennel) growing here,
Funchal, Madeira’s capital, is an impressive looking city. Built on gentle
slopes around a sheltered bay, the city is easily explored on foot and is
highly popular with visitors.
One of Funchal’s focal points is the Sé Cathedral, built between 1493
and 1514 by Gil Eanes. Just one of the area’s many treasures.
