Beaches

Special occasions are often about a journey that’s just beginning, as well as a celebration of shared paths already walked.

That makes beaches the perfect setting for special occasions – the boundless ocean celebrates everlasting love, and the potential to set sail on new voyages of discovery. Madeira’s recorded history is the tale of intrepid seafarers and undaunted settlers – you may just find this resonates with you as you embark on the adventure of marriage and start building a life together.

Forests

The lush beauty of Madeira’s forests offers light and dappled shade, and quiet groves of trees where you can connect with the energy of the Earth and experience growth happening all around you. The lovely symbolism of forests is impossible to ignore: tiny seeds growing into mighty trees, new life, and creating a home…

Mountains

Be lifted up where you belong and soar on the wings of love when you head into Madeira’s mountains. Volcanoes symbolise fiery passion, while summits represent the peaks of life you’ve climbed. The endless views speak to your unlimited potential as a person, a couple or a family, and you’ll find the pure mountain air and fresh perspectives deeply inspiring.

Churches and Cathedrals

Madeira’s many historic buildings have a special charm and significance of their own. Depending on your own personal beliefs, they can act as either distinctive backdrops, or form a religiously significant venue for your celebration. Getting married in a Madeiran church continues a centuries-old tradition brought to the islands by the first Portuguese settlers.
