The pearl of the Atlantic, as the island is so often called, is a popular New Year's Eve destination, during the Flower Festival (in May) or the Madeira Wine Festival (September). But its mild climate makes it the perfect destination almost all year round. Its latitude - the same as that of Morocco - the influence of the ocean and vegetation explain the average temperature of 25º C in summer and 17º C in winter.

Its natural riches are one of the many reasons to visit the Madeira island (the largest in the archipelago) where we find a forest protected by UNESCO, mountain peaks and hundreds of kilometers of levadas, irrigation channels that have transformed the landscape in a peculiar way.

There you will find vineyards alongside banana plantations, traditional villages that open up to volcanic beaches, without forgetting the immensity of the Atlantic, with its whales and dolphins.

The Monte Palace Tropical Garden is private and offers a place of tranquility and oriental inspiration that stretches over 7 hectares. There you will find exotic plants ranging from South African cycads and proteas to Belgium's azaleas, from Scottish heather to Himalayan orchids, from American redwoods to Madeira's endemic species.
