The Details

For a relatively small island, Madeira has more than its fair share of breath-taking scenery, and its rugged coastlines, wild river valleys and cloud-tipped mountain ranges are some of the most spectacular in Europe. Your stay begins in Funchal, Madeira’s bustling capital in the more temperate southeast of the island. It’s easier to explore the city on foot and we’ll deliver your car when it’s time to head further afield.

Your next base is in the central mountains overlooking the secluded Curral das Freiras – a village once hidden from the outside world by steep peaks on all sides. Heading north, this remote region is home to many of Madeira’s most impressive natural landmarks, with its monolithic sea cliffs and precipitous rockfaces – you’ll be staying in the quiet coastal town of Porto Moniz, which is a favourite natural swimming spot for Madeirans and visitors alike. You’ll end your stay on the sunny south coast in Camara de Lobos – a bustling harbour town where you can enjoy the best of the island’s seasonal cuisine and renowned wines.

We understand that independence is key: being free to explore where you like, when you like. We’ll arrange your flights, your accommodation and your car, and we’re here to support you throughout your Madeira Fly Drive Holiday. We’ll also provide you with the online maps you’ll need to navigate, and we’ll suggest our favourite things to see and do on the island: the rest is up to you.
