Some people consider
Porto Santa to be one extremely long beach with a bit of island attached to it, development has not been rampant, meaning that you'll find some hotels and restaurants but nothing extremely large, the place is still something of an 'undiscovered' resort.

Funchal or
Madeira as well as from other locations in mainland Portugal as well as coastal Africa. Once you land here you can then employ our
Porto Santa Airport car hire services and have a car of your choice ready and waiting for you at the airport at an hour that you specify.
The island is a great place for rest and relaxation in the
Madeira archipelago, as opposed to its sister islands, known for partying and other attractions,
Porto Santo is a a place known for the healing properties of its volcanic sands known to help with all sort of aches and ills.
Rest and relaxation doesn't mean however that there's nothing to do in Porto Santo, quite far from it, it's just that the atmosphere is somewhat different than on its sister islands. Golf enthusiasts will love the first-rate international golf course present on the island, and those who are into a more active type of vacation can engage the island's rugged interior; other activities include diving, horse-back riding, game fishing and many other things.
