Wellness
Madeira's pleasant climate and abundant natural resources have led to its reputation as a place of healing and wellness. Dive into an island of calm, clear waters, and recharge your batteries with seaweed and plant extracts, the scent of fresh flowers, the pure air, and the mild climate. Discover the fertility of the land and the abundant sea life in dishes that are as healthy as they are delicious. Make the most of the wide range of facilities offered by most hotels, such as swimming pools, saunas, gyms, tennis courts, and massages. Some are real health resorts that combine medical and beauty treatments to offer services like thalassotherapy, hydro-massage, Turkish baths, massages and beauty centres. For more demanding customers, Porto Santo boasts a thalassotherapy centre, where experienced staff and excellent facilities combine to provide a variety of preventive and curative health services. The island's sand contains amazing minerals and is an excellent complement to treatment for rheumatic diseases.

    Road ER 101

    Road ER 101

    The old ER 101 route is a breathtakingly scenic road that stretches around the island of Madeira in a full circle. You'll drive through tunnels, over hills and past steep slopes along the way, with the occasional adrenaline rush of a particularly sharp turn and a permanent view of the magnificent Atlantic. The route is only recommended to confident drivers, so do opt for a taxi if navigating challenging roads doesn't exactly excite you (opt for cars with an automatic gearbox for tricky uphill starts if you choose to rent).

    Levada Walks

    Levada Walks

    Levada Walks are walking trails along the maintenance paths beside the levadas — small agricultural water channels blended in the island forests. These channels were created in the 16th century to transport ("levar" in Portuguese, hence the name levadas) water from the rainy northern point of the island to the south point, where crops such as sugar, bananas and grapes were grown. Walking along the levadas is a truly unique and relaxing experience, with a scenic background of nature at its most lush.
