Madeira Holidays 2025/2026
Madeira Holidays Guide
With its impressive scenery of lush green landscape, rocky cliffs and pebbly beaches, Madeira is a far cry from the beach resorts of the Portuguese Algarve. But as a holiday destination, Madeira is a wonderful example of being able to combine morning hikes with afternoons by the pool.
Flying into Funchal, you'll get to gawp at the island and all its lush beauty. With more of a tropical feel, Madeira is also popular with flower and plant enthusiasts.
Getting to, from and around Madeira
Several airlines fly direct from the UK to Madeira, with additional flights added during the peak summer months. The airport is located on the east side of the island with a regular bus service into Funchal.
