On Canico de Baixo holidays, you’re swept up in traditional Madeiran village charm. The resort’s set on the southern coast of Madeira, in close proximity to Funchal, and it comes with a side of Atlantic Ocean views.
Canico de Baixo’s a modern resort, featuring a traditional hilltop village with steep cobbled paths, a village square and an 18th-century church. There’s more to see when you peel back the layers, though – you’ll find luxury Madeira villas and hotels with dramatic Atlantic cliff views, and botanical gardens to explore not too far away.
Canico de Baixo’s pebbly shoreline is one of its defining features. Days at the seaside here involve rocky sunbathing spots and saltwater lido facilities, and if you fancy a more traditional swathe, you can opt for Porto Santo sandy beach excursions. Some other coastal spots to look out for in the area are Praia dos Reis Magos and Praia do Garajau.
Funchal sightseeing’s easy when you stay here. There are Canico de Baixo bus transfers to take you to the city, which is home to 15th-century Gothic architecture and Madeiran botanical gardens. Not to mention, there’s a slick marina-side dining culture with oodles of seafood restaurants to choose from. And if you need something to wash down your meals, you can join Old Blandy Wine Lodge tours where you can learn about Madeira’s most famous export and sample some vino for yourself.
