What could be better after a week of hiking on magnificent Madeira than a few days of relaxation with swimming and peaceful walks? Just 2.5 hours by boat from Madeira, Porto Santo offers a tranquil contrast. The island truly invites you to unwind with its 9 km long, golden sandy beach and turquoise waters. You stay at a comfortable hotel with pool near the beach and Vila Baleira's small village houses. You can also take easy hikes up to Pico do Castelo and Pico Branco.
We recommend booking Porto Santo as an add-on in connection with one of our hiking trips on Madeira.

The last day of the hiking trip on Madeira becomes the first day on Porto Santo. The day begins with a private morning transfer from your hotel in Funchal to the harbor, where the ferry makes the crossing in 2.5 hours. During the journey you can enjoy the wonderful view over Funchal's bay and the terraced city that rises above the sea. Upon arrival at Porto Santo, a taxi awaits to take you to your accommodation in the small town of Vila Baleira, only 200 meters from the beach. Check-in for 2 nights.
