Holidays in Porto Santo

An introduction to Porto Santo

If you're looking for that away-from-it-all feeling, holidays in Porto Santo certainly give you that. This dinky island off Madeira is a haven of peace and tranquillity, with unspoilt scenery, rolling dunes and a beach that's simply to die for. In a coconut shell, travel to Porto Santo and you'll be in your own little holiday heaven.

This is not one of the world's most well known holiday haunts. So, Porto Santo holidays are rarely bargain holidays. That being said, you might be lucky enough to pick up one of those late deals. And if it's at the excellent Vila Baleira Resort Hotel And Spa, you'd be wise to snap it up pronto. It's a great place to unwind and de-stress with a superb health club and a Thalassotherapy Centre. Not to mention a choice of eateries, including the Beach Club Restaurant. Alternatively, for self catering holidays there's the Luamar Apartments, a comfortable complex set right on the beach.

Porto Santo is where the famous explorer Christopher Columbus met his future 'er indoors'. And you can pop in to his former bachelor pad, now a museum containing paintings, maps and engravings. Apart from that, holidays in Porto Santo are mainly about chilling out during the day and eating out in the evening. There's a good choice of restaurants where you can sample the local cuisine, including wonderful fresh fish, best accompanied with a glass of slightly sparkling vinho verde.
