Location
)
The Monte Mar Palace stands on Madeira’s rugged north coast, which is much less busy and developed than the rest of the island. So if peace, quiet, a secluded location and stunning views are what you’re looking for, this is the hotel for you: looking out across the Atlantic you really feel like you’re on the edge of the world. A short walk uphill brings you into Ponta Delgada, which has a small marina, but if you’re looking to explore further, the weekly shuttle allows you to explore Funchal’s old town with its...

Optional excursions
East Tour
1 / 4
Today you’ll experience the east of the island as we drive through the countryside and follow the coast road north to the village of Santana. This is where we’ll find the Casas Típicas de Santana – authentic stone-built houses with tall A-framed thatched roofs. From here, we’ll take a short drive south to Faial for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch we’ll wind our way upwards to one of Madeira’s most impressive observation decks, Miradouro da Portela. It’s the perfect place to look across the Penha de Aguia Mountain and enjoy ocean views from 670 metres. The penultimate stop on today’s excursion takes us to the most easterly village on the island, Caniçal, where we’ll stroll around the harbour walls. Waving adeus to the Atlantic we’ll head for home via the rural village of Ribeiro Frio that’s famed for its trout farm hatchery and beautiful surrounding gardens.
Northern wonders tour
1 / 4
This tour showcases some of Madeira’s most beautiful and dramatic scenery. We’ll take the coastal road to beautiful Boaventura, set in a green valley surrounded by soaring cliffs and mountains, and visit Arco de São Jorge, which is not only encircled by mountains and Laurissilva forest but also has one of the finest rose gardens in Europe.
Nuns Valley and Cabo Girao
1 / 4
Journey inland to the mountainous heart of Madeira to soak up the views from the panoramic viewpoint of Eira do Serrado. Nun’s Valley lies at the bottom of the extinct volcanic crater below and having stopped to take photos (either from the observation deck or through the glass wall in the restaurant at the summit) you’ll travel down into the village itself, where there’s time to taste the local cherry liqueur and Madeira cake at a local bar. The journey continues along the old road to Cabo Girão, a towering sea cliff that rises 2,000 feet and is reputed to be the second highest in the world. The sweeping views of the ocean and surrounding mountains are truly spectacular - be sure to bring your camera!
West coast tour
1 / 4
Our West coast tour takes us first to Chao de Ribeira, a broad green valley supporting the rich variety of plants and trees that make up Madeira’s glorious Laurissilva Forest, a World Natural Heritage Site. After that it’s the little coastal settlement of Seixal and nearby Bride’s Veil Waterfall which plumets 110-metres into the sea. Lastly we visit Porto Moniz, the most north-westerly point of Madeira which is known for its natural swimming pools which are formed by volcanic rocks along the sea shore.
