Singles Holidays to Madeira

Welcome to the island of Madeira known as the 'Floating Garden' in the Atlantic Ocean situated 500 km's from the African coast and 1000km from the European Continent.

Madeira is the ideal holiday destination with plenty of reasons to explore its stunning scenery and luxuriant mountains, this archipelago has mild climate all year around. It is in this majestic scenario of rare beauty, with the consistent contrast between the green of nature and bright blue of the sea and the sky where charm and tradition rub shoulders with modern comfort in absolute respect for nature.

To really explore Madeira climb to the top of a mountain and enjoy fantastic, breathe taking views, follow the trails and paths in the Laurissilva Forest or take a wonderful sailboat trip along the coast to watch dolphins and whales. Walk along the levada waterways or visit the delightful fishing village,Camara de Lobos,where Winston Churchill used to paint. Take the cable car up to Monte and whiz down the streets on the famous sledge ride. We can also take a jeep safari or cruise along the coast on Nau Santa Maria, a replica of Christopher Columbus's flagship.

To make your holiday complete visit the island of Porto Santo, only 15 minutes by plane or 2 ½ hours by ferry. The 'Golden Island' is blessed with 9 km of fine beaches unpolluted sand washed by clear, calm sea.
