Caniço, Santa Cruz

Set a five-minute drive from the basalt stones of Reis Magos Beach, this homely apartment is the perfect base for short sojourns and longer stays on Madeira’s south coast. Inside, soothing neutral tones take precedence – expect whitewashed walls, polished wood floors and greige textiles.

Caniço, Santa Cruz

You could never tire of the ever-changing sea views from the private suntrap balcony of this exquisite apartment set in the pretty village of Reis Magos. Adored for its charming promenade and postcard-pretty pebble beach with crystal-clear waters for swimming (just one kilometre away), the pace of life is slower here than its neighbouring cousins, Caniço (five minutes by car) and a smidge further, Funchal – which is just how we like things.
