A picturesque coastal hideaway
Whether it’s pristine waters, panoramic views, verdant hills or rocky clifftops you’re after, the quiet coastal parish of Canico, in southeast Madeira, offers all this and more. With year-round sunshine, Canico holidays provide a chance to get away from it all, and to soak up a slice of Madeiran culture in a picturesque setting while you’re at it.
Holidays to Canico are all about embracing the great outdoors, whether that’s walking the town’s palm-lined seafront promenade – a brilliant spot to watch the sunrise – or settling down for the day on the Blue Flag pebble beach at Praia dos Reis Magos. If you want a more active adventure, the steep hills and ravines above the town are ideal for hikers, while Canico also boasts several diving centres and golf courses. The views from the clifftops are outstanding – looking out over the Atlantic Ocean is a surefire way to feel on top of the world.
