Travel award for Madeira

#PORTUGAL’S Madeira Islands have been named the planet’s leading island destination in the 2015 World Travel Awards, beating off competition from 
Bali, Barbados, Crete, Jamaica, and the Maldives.

‘Our archipelago´s main asset,’ says Eduardo Jesus, regional secretary for Economy, Tourism and Culture, ‘is its exuberant nature. #Madeira is gold!’

Madeira is an archipelago comprising four islands off the north-west coast of Africa. Popular outdoor pursuits include hiking, golf, surfing, and scuba diving.

One of the main events of the year is the Madeira Flower Festival (April 7-13), which attracts thousands of visitors from all around the world.
