As the winter continues to drag on, we spend a lot of time daydreaming about going on vacation to a warm island with sun and fun. And one of the best island vacations is the Portuguese island of Madeira.

Located off of the northwest coast of Africa, Madeira is a spot that enjoys good weather all year round and has a ton to see and do outside of the typical beach visits, although there is plenty of opportunity to do that too.

Hiking is one of the best things to do in Madeira, with trails such as the Ponta de São Lourenço offering incredible Atlantic Ocean vistas and interior trails like the ones in the central mountain chain of the island going up to 6,000 feet above sea level!

After exploring the island’s nature, one perfect is heading to the capital city of Funchal and grabbing dinner in one of the cozy outdoor terraces that serve up fresh seafood and tropical drinks.

Don’t spend too much time just sitting around, however, as you can find all kinds of spectacular things like volcanic swimming pools in Porto Moniz, Europe’s highest sea cliff (Cabo Girao, at a dizzying 580 meters above the ocean), and spectacular viewpoints to see the ocean all around the island.

Think about taking your next island vacation in Madeira, one of the most spectacular places on Earth!
