Madeira Azul is based just 10 minutes away from the centre of Ponta do Sol, a location that is often celebrated for its wide variety of mind-blowing landmarks and fascinating attractions. If you consider yourself to be a keen hiker, a trip to Bica da Cana is a must-do activity. This trail is encircled by looming mountains and key structures, making it a perfect attraction for those who are looking to embark on a sightseeing tour with a twist. This trail is also ideal for beginners as it offers long stretches of emerald-green grass and smooth terrain to help guests to keep their footing as they continue to explore the nuances of this area. Bica da Cana can be found around 40 minutes away from the villa.
This region is also commended for its high-end food industry, with national dishes such as espetadas taking centre stage. This dish is crafted using premium cuts of prime beef, which is then paired with a variety of locally sourced vegetables. These ingredients are then cooked on a skewer and served with a selection of fresh bread, giving the entire dish a charred and rich flavour. Due to its immense popularity, this dish can be found in a wide collection of local bars and restaurants. Therefore, guests now have the prime opportunity to enjoy a truly authentic dish whilst they soak up the charming and bustling atmosphere of the native area.
One of the most popular beaches in this area is Ponta do Sol Beach, an utterly flawless landmark that is located just over 10 minutes away from Madeira Azul. This attraction is teeming with soft golden sand and sapphire blue water, making it an unmissable attraction for those who are looking to truly rest and recharge as they take in the soothing sights and sounds that surround them. Although it is a tremendously beautiful location, many locals regard this beach as a hidden gem that is often overlooked by tourists.

The Region
Calheta, meaning ‘Small Cove’, is where many tourists flock to in order to indulge in beautiful man-made beaches and striking scenery.
This part of Madeira is formed of several municipalities, each with something unique and special to offer. Calheta Village is an ideal place to start especially if you enjoy a stiff drink! An old sugar cane factory still produces one of the world’s most respected white rums – Aguardente…perhaps you want to leave this part of your holiday till late in the evening!
Jardim do Mar is where you will find many of the locals on dawn patrol, taking to the waves and surfing. The waters can both be heavy and flat, making them ideal for abilities of surfer. Akaw!
For lovers of seafood, you should look no further than Paul do Mar. This is a village where most of the fisherman work out of, so you know you’ll be able to find the catch of the day here.
For those who have travelled to Madeira for its inland beauty, then look no further than Arco da Calheta and Prazeres. Within these locations you won’t only be able find some stunning hiking trails, but you’re also likely to stumble across some traditionally styled Parishes and unforgettable views.
ABOUT MADEIRA
The island of Madeira can be found south west of mainland Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the island’s location, its is considered to have a Mediterranean climate that serves locals and visitors all year round – making it an ideal escape from reality at any point in the year.
What we love Madeira for is its seemingly ongoing festivals! Madeirans have found an excuse to celebrate most things; including film, their natural surroundings and key patron saints. This means that planning a visit during these days and even weeks of commemoration is well worth it (scroll down to see some key dates).
Madeira is divided into several municipals, each with a special offering to those who visit this island. Our favourite two communities are Funchal and Calheta and these are where you will find most of our beautiful villas.
Madeira’s landscape extends much more than a striking coastline. Make sure you pack some hiking boots and venture inland during your stay. With mountainous trails along Vereda do Arieiro, or more countryside appropriate paths like Levada do Risco and waterfall chasing treks like Levada do Caldeirao Verde – this archipelago has everything a keen outdoors person requires.
For those who enjoy either playing or watching sports, you’ll be happy to know Madeira offers so much selection. Madeira is also home to three notable football clubs, so if you’re visiting during the football season and want to see a good quality of football, you have every chance to. Porto Santo Golfe is the island’s renowned golf course. With an 18-hole course (Par 72) overlooking a Galapagos-like backdrop, golf enthusiasts will certainly want a ‘slice’ of the action! Surfers can access some great beaches like Jardim do Mar, Ponta Pequena, Paul do Mar, and Fajã da Ovelha in order to find some swell. Or, if you’re simply looking to recline on a sun lounger and soak up some rays, whilst listening to crystal clear waves break as they hit the shores, you will find plenty of man-made beaches & Lidos created for your leisure!
With a superb climate, close proximity to the coastline, wonderful cuisine, charming locals and astonishing scenery – this is a fabulous holiday choice for families & friends.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Madeira, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
