Madalena do Mar holidays

Stroll, sunbathe and sightsee

Spend your days soaking up the warm Madeiran sunshine on the sheltered pebble beach or wander along the seafront promenade that’s lined with pretty palms. The whitewashed Madalena do Mar Church sits at its heart with an impressive altar that glows in gold. Ponta do Sol is your closest neighbour if you fancy exploring further afield.

Go bananas

Madalena do Mar was once an important spot for sugarcane production. Today, it’s home to one of the largest banana plantations on the island thanks to its fertile soil and great weather conditions. It even hosts an annual banana festival every July, which celebrates these bright-yellow beauties!
