Porto Santo is a windy island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, has incredibly soft and light sand beaches, which remain from a former coral reef.
We enjoy a gentle climate, with mild winters and charmingly warm summers. Porto Santo is a modest 500 meters high, 11 km long and only 6 km wide island. Nonetheless, it’s a quite fascinating place to visit.
