Brief introduction to Madeira Island
Madeira (officially the Autonomous Region of Madeira) is a stunning archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, famous for its Madeira Wine, many hiking trails, the city of Funchal and unbelievable landscapes. Located approximately 1.000 kilometres (600 miles) southwest of mainland Portugal, Madeira consists of the main island of Madeira and its smaller neighbouring islands, including Porto Santo. If you visit Madeira any time soon, this guide is here to help you plan and navigate your trip. Mark your favourite spots, and enjoy one of the most beautiful places in Portugal!
Flights to Madeira from Portugal
There are direct flights to Madeira daily from mainland Portugal. Fly TAP AirPortugal, EasyJet or Ryanair from Lisbon or Porto. Or, if youβre in Faro, you can book flights with Azores Airlines and TAP. The flight takes around 1,5 hours from mainland Portugal.
You will arrive at Aeroporto da Madeira Internacional Cristiano Ronaldo, which is located just north of Funchal. The drive will take around 20 to 30 minutes to the capital. If you stay north of the airport in Santana or surrounding villages, the journey will roughly take the same time. Compare flight tickets and routes easily with Skyscanner.
A short history of Madeira
Madeira’s recorded history begins with its discovery by Portuguese explorers in the early 15th century. The Portuguese navigators JoΓ£o GonΓ§alves Zarco and TristΓ£o Vaz Teixeira discovered the island in 1419. Before the discovery, the island was uninhabited, and the first settlers were farmers and fishermen.
The island became a major sugar market thanks to sugar cane cultivation, which was later replaced by wine. The tourists started arriving in the 19th century, and Belmond Reid’s Palace was the first hotel on the island. The hotel is still open and a magnificent place for a luxury stay in Madeira!
Geographical features and climate of Madeira
Madeira is known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic“, and the subtropical climate makes it perfect to visit all year round. The average temperature on the island is between 20 Β°C to 24 Β°C (73Β°F), so never too warm and never cold. It might rain a bit more between autumn and spring, but, to be honest, the weather in Madeira can change at any moment. You might wake up in the fog, and 5 minutes later, you’ll enjoy the blue sky.
On top of that, the island’s dramatic landscapes are inviting for nature lovers and rest seekers alike. The island has volcanos, towering cliffs, ancient forests, stunning waterfalls, lava pools, and beaches. Remember to bring your hiking boots or enjoy one of the many adventure sports on the island! Madeira is close to the Spanish Canary Islands and Morocco. The archipelago itself includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo and the Desertas.

Visiting the volcanic caves and lava pools
The vulcanic character of Madeira has left a mark on most corners of the island.

When youβre close to Porto Moniz and Seixal, you can also visit Ribeira da Janela and the famous Fanal Forest. The Laurel trees create an enchanting experience, especially when itβs covered in fog! The Laurissilva Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage site as the laurel trees stem from the Tertiary period (approximately 66 million to 2.6 million years ago)! Enjoy the lush vegetation and stunning views with clearer weather.
Anjos waterfall
A popular attraction in Madeira is Anjos waterfall, a stream of water that lands on the ER101 road and onwards into the sea. The ER101 is located between Ponta do Sol and Madalena to Mar on the island’s south side. The road is no longer the main road and is often closed due to rockfalls.
MiradouroΒ da Garganta Funda
One of the tallest waterfalls in Madeira is at Miradouro da Garganta Funda, also known as Miradouro da Vaca. Sometimes the waterfall has run dry, but the views at this point are stunning nonetheless. TheΒ Garganta Funda WaterfallΒ drops 140 meters down and can be seen after a short walk.
