Venture north across Madeira’s lush interior to reach Porto Moniz, famed for its volcanic lava pools and dramatic Atlantic swells. Focusing on Porto Moniz alone ensures you can soak in the coastal scenery at a leisurely pace.
Expect 1.5 hours each way along Madeira's dramatic northern coast. A private driver from Funchal ensures you discover the natural volcanic pools and rugged coastline at your own pace.
Carved from volcanic lava, the Natural Pools of Porto Moniz are a dazzling spectacle on the rugged north coast of Madeira Island. This site is a cosmic tapestry of natural beauty, seamlessly complemented by thoughtful amenities for tourists. The pools' unique structure channels fresh, clear ocean water into their basin, offering space for unwinding and lounging. The destination is perfect for a family outing, featuring a spacious general pool area, a children's pool, playground, changing rooms, and a bar. Emergency services are readily available, and there's ample parking. Thoughtfully designed for inclusivity, the site provides accessibility for disabled visitors. The breathtaking views of the coastline are an irresistible lure, leaving no visitor untouched by their charm. Bear in mind that the summer months tend to attract large crowds, so an early arrival is recommended to secure a spot. The pools remain open throughout the year, from 9 am to 5 pm in the winter and extended hours of 9 am to 7 pm in the summer. For a modest entrance fee, you get to immerse yourself in this tranquil haven - a gem of Madeira that offers an experience of a lifetime without breaking the bank.
