Desertas Islands

Madeira’s little secret.

A mere 25 km off the easternmost tip of Madeira Island, the Desertas islands only recently begun getting the attention they deserve.

Already a partial Nature Reserve, Bugio, Deserta Grande and Ilhéu Chão are the 3 small islands that make this “desert” archipelago where you can find exquisite endemic flora and fauna and a unique sense of wilderness.

Desertas Islands, Madeira

An European Council specialist has recently visited the islands to evaluate the Deserta’s candidature to the European Protected Area Diploma – and he has only great things to say about what he found!

If you wish to visit the Desertas Islands and discover its hidden secrets, contact us.

Having the peaks for breakfast
