View All DealsHolidays to Santana transport you to a world of natural wonder and slow-lane living on Portugal's far-flung volcanic island.
Sitting on Madeira's rugged northern coast, the little village of Santana's in a world of its own. Think quirky A-frame houses, unspoiled coastal beauty and serene rural vibes. It's the perfect spot for getting back to nature, with hiking trails and forest walks aplenty – though fun-loving Funchal's within easy reach.
With steep sea cliffs on one side and dramatic mountains on the other, Santana certainly packs a picture-perfect punch. It's also part of a UNESCO-protected biosphere, rich with waterfall cascades and brightly coloured flowers. So, whether you explore by foot or guided 4x4, be sure to bring your camera.
Madeira's capital, Funchal, is a 45-minute drive away and full of boutique shops, cocktail bars, cultural sights and a swish yacht-filled marina. There's also a stony stretch of beach nearby if you fancy an invigorating dip – just watch for the waves as the sea can get rough.
