Madeira Escape
There is a place where emerald-green mountains plunge into the deep blue of the Atlantic, where waterfalls carve their way through ancient laurel forests, and where the scent of wildflowers drifts through the air. Madeira is more than just an island—it is a world unto itself, a place of quiet wonder and untamed beauty. For a week, we invite you to join us in exploring its winding levada trails, its dramatic cliffs, and its sun-drenched coastal villages. We’ll wander through Funchal’s colorful markets, taste the island’s famed wine, and watch the sunset from the boat, and much more.
If you’re longing for a journey that awakens the senses and soothes the soul, come with us to Madeira. It will be a week to remember.
