The Madeira region
Here in the Atlantic Ocean, not too far from the centre of Europe, we find the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo. The archipelago is famous for its friendly people, exceptional natural beauty and mild climate.
Madeira Islands are just a short trip from Europe, to a destination where you can combine holidays on the beach, in the mountains or in the city.
Madeira and Porto Santo are the ideal places to relax and restore the balance of mind and body that you need to face the stress of daily life.
Madeira (Wood) is a beautiful verdant island. It is Portugal's "Jewel in the Atlantic". The island is a haven for anyone who enjoys walking, whether your taste runs to gentle strolls or hard core hiking. Madeira’s system of irrigation channels, known as levadas, carry water down from the mountains on gentle gradients. These levadas provide a ready-made system of trails.
There are 1300 miles of them, criss-crossing the island, and they have level footpaths running along their entire length. Walkers of all ages and abilities can take in some of the finest countryside, surrounded by colourful foliage and spectacular views.
Madeira’s greatest attraction has to be the subtropical climate, sometimes known as “the island of eternal spring”. Even in winter the temperature rarely falls below 17C, and rarely exceeds 23C in high summer. Garajau has an excellent bus service to and from Funchal as well as to the next village Canico and its costal resort of Canico de Baixo.
The landscape is covered in a green mantle of rich subtropical foliage. The variety and profusion of flowers makes the island a permanent flower show. Birds of Paradise, with their bright orange beak-like flowers, blossom in open fields. Fragrant hydrangeas line walking paths (levadas) that skirt the edge of mountain terraces.
Because of it´s privileged geographical position and mountainous relief, has a surprisingly mild climate.
Garajau area
Located on the sunny, dry, southern coast of Madeira, Garajau is situated, midway between the airport, and the capital, Funchal. Taxi journey time to both is just 12 minutes. Garajau has long been known to be one of Madeira’s high class residential areas and is named after the black-headed sea birds, terns, which nest in the cliffs.
Just below the town is a 200m high headland with a fine "miradouro" - a statue of Christ with outstretched arms, similar to the larger statues in Rio de Janeiro or Lisbon. This is a wonderful spot to watch the sun go down and it has great views west to the Bay of Funchal.
The coastline here at Garajau is also a conservation area, and was one of Europe’s first underwater nature reserves, providing sanctuary for whales, dolphins and seals. The sea shore has now been updated and opened up with a new cable car to take visitors down onto the beach and a beach front restaurant.
Garajau is also ideal as a location to start the many levada walks in Madeira.
Both Golf courses are within easy reach and the coastal area of Caniço de Baixo boasts three world renowned diving schools.
Garajau’s high street combines the Hotel Dom Pedro Garajau on one side of the road and a multitude of shops, bakeries, coffee shop, ice cream parlous and a few patisseries, and a medium sized well stocked mini-markets with ATM outside and several restaurants. GOLF - Two golf courses are situated within easy reach. There is Palheiro Golf situated on th old Blandy estate, commanding stunning views of Funchal harbour. We are priviledged to be able to offer 30% discount on golf green fees for guests staying at magnolia House. The facilities include an 18 hole course, and an academy course, a fully equipped pro shop, a restaurant and a club house. Sit on the balcony, enjoy a drink while soaking up the panoramic views of the island. If you have forgotten your clubs, all equipment can be hired and visitors are welcome. For the more serious golfer weekly deals are available.
The second golf course is at Santo da Serra, which is a 27 hole course. Again, it commands excellent views with more open fairways. Weekly deals are available here too. Also, there is a local market on Sundays near the course.
If you are planning a longer visit, a weekend trip to Porto Santo is very worthwhile. It is only 2,5 hours by ferry and you can have a game on the Seve Ballestros course, where the Madeira Open is held.
