Holidays to Santana transport you to a world of natural wonder and slow-lane living on Madeira's rugged north coast.
Slow and scenic
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 ideal spot for getting back to nature, with hiking trails and forest walks a-plenty – though fun-loving Funchal's also within easy reach.
Walk on the wild side
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 lush countryside and colourful flowers. So, whether you explore by foot or guided 4x4, be sure to bring your camera.
Look lively
Madeira's capital, Funchal, is a 45-minute drive away and full of boutique shops, cocktail bars, cultural sights and a vibrant 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.
