What to expect
Madeira is paradise for anyone who loves nature, outdoor fitness and food.
Join us to escape to the Hawaii of Europe, with its unrivalled nature spots, delicious local gastronomy and outdoor activity opportunities.
This is our second year returning to the hidden gem that is Madeira, with our welcoming hosts and expert local guides that you can rely on.
AccomModation
Your home for the week is Quinta da Saraiva, an 18th-century farmhouse set on a 5000 sqm agricultural property with a mix of banana trees and vineyards, on a lush hillside.
We have a mix of peaceful and comfortable classic twin and double rooms to suit everyone. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms and walk-in showers, free wifi and a selection of premium amenities.
With a saltwater heated outdoor pool and hot tub with views of the ocean, this is the perfect setting for you to unwind after a day of exploring.
Our country-chic hotel is less than 15 minutes from the capital Funchal and under half an hour to the natural pools in Sao Vicente. That means we will be spending very little time in a car and more time enjoying ourselves!
Exploring
Madeira’s size-to-beauty ratio is off the charts, with the small island hosting countless charming views, and our itinerary is packed with seeing as much of it as possible.
We’ll be hiking volcanic terrain to the island’s 1862m peak, learning to balance in a paddleboarding lesson, looking over Cabo Girao and visiting the lava-rock tidal pools of Seixal for a swim. When we’re ready for downtime, join us on strolls through local towns, take in the island sunset and kick back by the pool.
Training
We can arrange gym sessions as an add-on at Insular CrossFit in Funchal in group classes led by the head coach. You can expect to be coached with care, whether you’re new to CrossFit or have been at it for some time. If you’d rather follow your own training routine, Open Gym is also an option.
Please let us know in advance so we can make arrangements.
Meals
At More Life Adventures we take care to provide delicious and nutritious food to fuel an active lifestyle. We also love to sit together family-style, around a table at mealtimes.
Each day breakfast will be served at our farmhouse, where the chefs place emphasis on showcasing the property’s own local produce.
In addition, our own private chef will prepare balanced evening meals made with fresh local ingredients.
During the day when we are out and about we’ll have lunch at selected restaurants around the island that we have hand-picked for their quality and authenticity.
