SELF-SUSTAINING, COMPLETELY OFF-GRID

CALHETA
BOOK Plus icon
Perched in the small township of Calheta, the riviera of Madeira’s southern coastline, the Calheta retreat offers a stunning view of volcanic ravines to the west and dramatic, endless seas to the south. The location is a celebration of nature’s extremes, where the lush green mountains collide with the untamed Atlantic Ocean.
