Often called the Hawaii of Europe, Madeira is a dream destination for walkers - especially as a winter escape from the UK.

Floating in the Atlantic off the coast of Morocco, the island offers dramatic sea cliffs, cloud-wreathed peaks, lush valleys and historic levada paths, all enjoyed in a mild, year-round climate.

**Featured: Discover Madeira Island Walk

Our Discover Madeira Island Walk reveals Madeira at its most scenic, from coastal trails and flower-filled valleys to the island’s mountainous heart, including an ascent of Pico Ruivo (1,862m).

With luggage transfers, hand-picked accommodation and detailed route notes included, it’s the perfect way to enjoy an active winter escape - at your own pace.
