About Madeira
Escape to Paradise
Madeira, the Portuguese archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, is a true paradise for digital nomads and remote workers looking for a change of scenery. With its subtropical climate, stunning natural landscapes, and vibrant culture, Madeira is the perfect destination to work from and explore. And with Swaphouse, you can easily find a home to swap and experience the island like a local.
Experience the Natural Beauty of Madeira
The island is known for its lush vegetation, dramatic cliffs, and cascading waterfalls. It is a hiker's paradise, with well-marked trails that lead to breathtaking viewpoints. One of the most popular hikes is the Levada do Norte, which takes you through a tunnel carved into the rock and ends with a stunning view of the island. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try paragliding or canyoning to explore the island from a different perspective.
Unwind and Relax on the Beach
Madeira is not known for its beaches, but the island does have a few hidden gems. Calheta Beach is the only sandy beach on the island and is the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. If you're looking for a more secluded spot, head to Porto Moniz Natural Pools, where you can swim in natural rock pools surrounded by volcanic cliffs.
Explore the Culture and History of Madeira
Madeira is rich in history and culture, and there are plenty of things to see and do on the island. Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is a charming city with narrow streets, colorful buildings, and plenty of museums and art galleries to visit. The Madeira Story Centre is a must-visit for anyone interested in the island's history, and the Museum of Natural History will give you an in-depth understanding of the island's flora and fauna.
Savor the Flavors
Madeira is known for its delicious food and wine. The island's cuisine is heavily influenced by its location in the Atlantic Ocean, and seafood is a staple in most local dishes. Be sure to try the traditional dish of espetada, which is skewered beef marinated in garlic and spices. And, of course, you can't leave Madeira without trying the famous Madeira wine.
