Madeira - A true island escape

Imagine yourself miles away from the stress of work, pollution and the cold. Imagine yourself high up with a view to take your breath away and where it seems you can almost touch the clouds. Imagine yourself on a sun soaked beach with the waves gently lapping at your feet.

Imagine yourself in a place brimming with tradition and surrounded by friendly people and where even modern day elegance looks picturesque. Now open your eyes! You are in Madeira.

The discovery of this dramatic volcanic island can be traced back to the 1350’s by the Portuguese who set about colonising Madeira for the purpose of commerce and maritime expansion. It was in Madeira and Porto Santo that Christopher Columbus learned the art of navigation and planned his voyage to America.
