A trip to the Laurissilva of Madeira, the largest laurel forest in the world, will leave you in awe as you immerse yourself in a 20-million-year-old subtropical rainforest, whether you’re hiking, biking, climbing, or coasteering. Relax your muscles in the volcanic rock tidal pools in Porto Minz before further unwinding with a traditional Madeiran meal in Sao Vicente, the land of valleys and vineyards. Don’t forget to ride the Funchal Cable Car when you return to town and watch as the urban city landscape evolves to verdant hills and valleys as you reach the hillside village of Monte. Take a traditional wicker basket toboggan back down to the city centre, where you will have full access to the luxurious Views Monumental Hotel facilities, including a restaurant, cocktail bar, pool bar, spa, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
