Atlantic Wilderness

Two Islands, Distinct Perspectives

The Art of Island Hopping

Few places pack so much variety into such a compact corner of the Atlantic. In the Azores, São Miguel's volcanic heart reveals itself in misty crater lakes, bubbling thermal springs and green pastures that roll down to the sea. In Madeira, mountains rise straight from the Atlantic, laurel forests shelter centuries-old water channels and Funchal's markets hum with island flavour. Ride and hike by day, then trade the trail for thermal pools, spa treatments and long dinners overlooking the sea. It's Atlantic Portugal, from wild to refined.

Arrive on São Miguel and ease into island life with a first ride along quiet country roads to the coastal town of Vila Franca do Campo. Continue to Furnas, where steam rises from the earth, and settle into Octant Furnas with time for a first soak before welcome cocktails and dinner.

Ride through one of São Miguel’s least-visited corners, where cedar forests and hydrangea-lined lanes lead to dramatic Atlantic viewpoints. Back in Furnas, a private walk takes you into the island’s geothermal heart, followed by dinner featuring the day’s catch in a small fishing village.

Head offshore by private Zodiac with a marine biologist in search of sperm whales and dolphins. After a guided walk through historic Ponta Delgada, check in to your west coast retreat for dinner at MôMô.

Swap bikes for boots on a hike across the Serra Devassa plateau to the Grota do Inferno viewpoint, one of São Miguel’s most celebrated views. A picnic lunch and a free afternoon lead into a last evening on São Miguel in historic Ponta Delgada.

Fly to Madeira and enjoy free time in Funchal for lunch and exploring at your own pace. In the afternoon, a private guide introduces you to the city's historic streets and traditional crafts before you check in to The Reserve at Savoy Palace, your base for the final four nights.

Follow a historic levada through Madeira’s UNESCO-listed laurel forest, past waterfalls and across deep valleys. Lunch in a local family’s home on the north coast is followed by a free afternoon and dinner at one of your guides’ favourite restaurants.

Hike the high ridgelines of Madeira’s central mountains, where on a clear day the clouds sit below you. Stop at Monte Palace Tropical Garden on the way back to Funchal, then enjoy a free evening at The Reserve.

Walk sheer sea cliffs on one of Madeira’s finest coastal trails, then cruise the coastline by private boat, with lunch on board and time to swim and snorkel. Tonight, raise a glass at a farewell dinner in the chef’s own home.

After a last breakfast at The Reserve, a private transfer takes you to Madeira Airport. Safe travels, and until next time!
