On the north side of the island, Porto Moniz’s crystal-clear sea pools are calm and serene. Protected by lava walls, swimming in these pools is a world away from the wild waves crashing in the open sea behind them.

Climbing and Canyoning
Madeira’s fast becoming Europe’s go-to island for Canyoning..... f you’ve never been canyoning before, here’s how it works: you’ll follow a mountain stream through a narrow forest gully as it winds its way down to the valley floor, abseiling down a series of waterfalls. Safety is paramount of course; you’ll be thoroughly briefed in advance of your first descent, and our guide will be with you every step of the way. It’s a great outdoor pursuit whatever your age and level of experience.

Perhaps the fact that it’s Madeira’s first bio hotel might tickle your curiosity as well.
