Views, views and more views

Nature shows off its prettiest colours here. The shades of blue lap the pitch-black rock formations dotted around the coast, while the lush forests make the most out of the leafy green palette. It's the kind of place photographers wouldn’t dare to leave uncaptured, and you shouldn't either.

A walker’s paradise

Madeira’s terrain is engraved with the popular levada trails and Porto Moniz acts as a gateway to a lot of them too. It’s also the ideal base for exploring the rest of northern Madeira.

Active afternoons

If you’ve got your dose of hiking and trekking, there are more ways to get active around Porto Moniz. Some trails can be conquered on two wheels, while the mesmerising waves beg to be tamed by a surfboard or a canoe – why not try one of them?
