Thanks to its privileged position, the island enjoys a surprisingly mild climate throughout the year, making it a great place to visit for a range of activities. Villa Ilane is on the east coast of Madeira outside of the village of Paul do Mar. Known as one of the fishing centres of the island, this parish provides the island with a variety of fish and is a popular spot for seafood lovers. There is a selection of restaurants in the village serving freshly caught seafood, with a few serving alternative cuisines for those looking for more familiar flavours. The village sits between the waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the steep cliffs of the mountainside above, and until the 1960s, could only be accessed by boat! Today, visitors can easily reach the village along the road that runs along this stretch of the coast. The town of Ponta do Pargo is located west along the coast from Villa Ilane. Known for its strategically located lighthouse and stunning high cliffs leading down the sea, this majestic town is a wonderful place to visit. From the town, you can take a walk inland that will lead you to the breathtaking Gardanta Funda Waterfall. The viewpoint here gives visitors a chance to admire the vistas of the surrounding sheer cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. A trip to Madeira is not complete without a hike up Pico Ruivo. At 1,862 metres high, this extinct volcano is the highest peak in Madeira and is a popular hiking spot. One of the trails starts at Achada do Teixeria and takes hikers on a stunning path up through the hillside. This is one of the more accessible trails, taking around an hour and a half with a climb of 300 metres from the starting point to the top. The effort will certainly be worth it, as on a clear day the views are simply stunning!
