Exploring
Situated in a small and welcoming local community of about 4,000 inhabitants, proud of its rich cultural heritage, the village of Ponta do Sol offers a very pleasant climate all year round, placing it among the warmest places in Europe. This tranquil and unspoiled village of banana plantations, old stone houses, and more recently contemporary ones, with easy access to the ocean and mountain trails, is considered one of the most beautiful and picturesque on the island. It is also visited by beach and nature lovers, attracted by the fantastic water temperature and a variety of hiking trails or levada walks. With these wonderful conditions, snorkeling, paddling, and hiking are great options.
Some levada walks pass very close by, a 10-minute walk to enter the “Levada do Moinho,” and by car, you are 10 minutes (30 minutes on foot) from the entrance of “Levada Nova.” The nearest supermarket, gas station, and good restaurants (we would love to share our favourites with you) are in the village center, about an 8-minute drive away.
The Village of Ponta do Sol has a varied and specialized cultural program throughout the year, which brings together the local community and tourists, and is already widely recognized as a valuable Cultural Village. Some of these creative events are promoted by Estalagem da Ponta do Sol, a unique design hotel that opens its doors to the local community. Just to name a few, the Madeira Dig festival, the most important experimental digital festival in Portugal, and MMIFF, the Madeira Micro International Film Festival, a festival of independent and experimental films that takes place in an almost 100-year-old Art Deco cinema located in the village of Ponta do Sol.
