Porto Santo, an Atlantic island/

An island of rare beauty, Porto Santo is a European destination with a difference.

In the middle of the Atlantic, Porto Santo is 500 kilometres from Africa, 900 kilometres from Lisbon and only 50 kilometres from Madeira.

Like Madeira, the island of Porto Santo is volcanic in origin, but with relatively flat terrain.

The island’s south coast is dominated by the nine kilometres of golden sand that form the beach of Porto Santo, one of the most beautiful in Europe.
The dry and settled climate makes the beach an option all year round, thanks to the sea temperature.

Two peaks mark the end of the island. And this small and attractive paradise is also surrounded by several islets.

All in all, it is a place that will enchant you.
