Discovered around 1420, Madeira is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of the Canary Islands and 520 kilometers (320 miles) west of the Kingdom of Morocco, Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal.
Madeira’s population (approximately 250,000) descended from Portuguese settlers and today is a perfect get away destination for guests looking to enjoy world-famous Portuguese hospitality and a memorable relaxing break under the sun.
Ponta do Sol
‘Ponta do Sol’ translates into English as the ‘Cape of the Sun’. The delightful village is blessed with glorious ocean views and more hours of sunshine than anywhere else on island, hence the name. The municipality in the southwestern coast of the island of Madeira has an illustrious history and balances tradition with modernity.
The village of Ponta do Sol offers a palm-lined promenade next to the pebbly beach, whilst traditional red-roofed, whitewashed buildings nestle at the foot of craggy mountains overlooking the sea.
