Property for Sale in Madeira

Madeira or Ilha da Madeira is part of an archipelago over 1,000 kilometres from Portugal. Madeira can be found off the north coast of Africa and is just an hour’s flight from Lisbon.

Speaking of getting to Madeira, the airport is named after its most famous resident Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport. The airport runs frequent flights to the Portuguese capital and over 30 European destinations. There’s a ferry that runs between Porto Santo and Madeira, which is also able to carry vehicles.

Madeira is an oasis of lush greenery and beautiful mountain scenes. It has a spring-like climate all-year round with lows of 12°C in January/February and highs of 19°C in August/September.

Officially referred to as the Autonomous Region of Madeira, the island is one of two Portuguese archipelagos in the North Atlantic Ocean, in a region known as Macaronesia.

Madeira is a friendly island with lots of international residents, especially in the Funchal, the capital city, where half the island’s residents live. Funchal has a thriving international scene and friendly locals will make you feel right at home. 

The island is renowned for its relaxed approach to life. The rich natural surroundings make for a beautiful backdrop for a slower pace of life, but that’s not to say you’ll get bored in Madeira, oh no. There is so much to do in Madeira from hiking trails and mountain biking to water sports and fishing.

We all know mainland Portugal is world-famous for its golf courses and Madeira isn’t without its own. There are two 18-hole courses (one near Funchal on the south coast and the other inland, overlooking the bay of Machico) and several nine-hole ones.
