Porto Moniz

Tourist attractions Porto Moniz

Located on the northwest coast of Madeira, Porto Moniz is a picturesque village world-renowned for its stunning natural swimming pools formed by volcanic lava and bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. About 50 kilometers from Funchal, this destination offers the perfect combination of nature and tranquility. In addition to its famous pools, visitors can explore the Madeira Aquarium, which showcases the rich local marine biodiversity, and the Santa Viewpoint, offering spectacular views of the ocean and cliffs.

A unique curiosity about Porto Moniz is that these natural pools are not only a tourist attraction but also function as a unique ecosystem where various marine species can be observed in a protected and accessible environment. Additionally, the village hosts an annual Sea Food Festival, an event that highlights the island’s traditional flavors, especially fresh fish and seafood, making Porto Moniz a place where nature and culture come together to offer an unforgettable experience.
