Sao Vicente Holidays

A charming Madeiran retreat

With its spectacular scenery and rugged shoreline, the quaint village of Sao Vicente is nothing short of idyllic. Set within a deep valley on the northern coast of Madeira, this seaside spot offers a picture-perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.

Sao Vicente holidays are a haven for those who love the great outdoors, as the area has swathes of rainforest to hike, and excellent waves for surfers. For something less high-octane, there are the indigenous gardens in central Sao Vicente, which showcase masses of native flora and fauna. If you’re looking to relax, make the most of Sao Vicente’s pretty pebble beach and while away hours by the sea. Or get to know the area’s winemaking history by exploring its vineyards and wine cellars. Whatever your preference, you’ll certainly not be short of things to do or see on holidays to Sao Vicente.
