TRANSCRIPT:
There is a secret place,

– in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

A lush volcanic rock,

– that few people know about.

It’s called Madeira,

– but is it really a secret?

Well, as you can see there is an airport here,

– but there are no airplanes!

That’s of course not true.

Madeira has been a popular travel destination for many years,

– but it’s still widely undiscovered compared to the Canary Islands,

– Crete and Mallorca, Madeira barely exists.

And that’s why we made this video.

We think this is Europe’s best island,

– and the last secret paradise!

Welcome to paradise!

And that’s also why we live here.

We have a hundred hours to show you all the things,

– that makes Madeira a true bucket list destination.

We will also show you how to travel this island,

– so you might want to bookmark this one.

There are four things that makes Madeira a paradise.

Fantastic weather.

Amazing food.

Epic nature.

And wonderful places to stay.

You have world-class luxury hotels here.

How about this breakfast view at Cliff Bay?

Or this pool at Les Suites?

This is probably the greatest hotel room on Madeira.

Funchal is the only big city on Madeira.

How about the tuna of your dreams in the old town?

Or the world’s best chicken piri piri at Hoyo Hoyo?

Welcome to Il Gallo D’oro, guys.

This is a two star Michelin restaurant,

Madeira even produces both red and white wine.

– they actually cheered in Madeira wine.

It is truly wonderful to try this creative take on the Madeiran food,

– but honestly we need to talk about the traditional food as well.

This is a prego,

– and this is the Madeiran answer to a steak sandwich.

What about espetada?

Lapas?

The original Madeira hamburger?

Or picado?

It’s perfect warm-up for tomorrow’s sunrise hike, you know.

For getting around Madeira we suggest you rent a car or scooter,

– but since you most certainly will fall in love with the delicious poncha,

– you can also hire a driver.

And this is Lido. A perfect place to go for a stroll,

– and to have the best Italian food here on this island.

And this incredible restaurant is located on the beautiful Villa Porto Mare Hotel.

We made it to the garden of Monte Palace, guys,

– and usually people will come by the cable cars that go from the city center of Funchal.

This place is a magical fairy tale world with so much history that you must visit.

In wintertime you can literally go from snow on the mountain top to tropical ocean life.

On our way to the old town we bumped into the Tobaggan sleds.

This is such a cool experience and definitely worth doing.

It might come as a surprise that Funchal has this authentic pure European charm.

Here are three more things you must do in Funchal.

Number one is to go for a Madeira wine tasting at Blandy’s.

Go have a poncha at our favorite place.

And also walk the Piornais levada,

As you will fall in love with the old town,

– consider also staying at the Porto Santo Maria hotel.

– for an early sunrise hike at Pico Ruivo.
