An amazing 60% of Madeira is a unique nature reserve with UNESCO World Heritage status. With a lush subtropical feel and many dramatic mountain and levada walks, nature is all around and never far away. The island has unique and abundant flowers, earning a deserved reputation as a gardener's paradise.
Madeira was discovered by the Portuguese in 1419 and the islands were uninhabited, despite being only 280 miles from Africa. The first settlement was between 1420 and 1425, and the island was named Madeira in 1433. Madeira, due to its quite exceptional year-round subtropical temperatures, was ideal for growing sugar cane and the island made a fortune in the then 'white gold', which was later to be replaced by the rather more sophisticated Madeira wine industry. Today, Madeira, with its Portuguese influence and friendly people, is a growing destination for those searching for a quiet and safe escape in the sun, to either call home or to have a year-round island getaway.
Madeira is an especially charming all-year island, where average temperatures range from 18 degrees in February to 27 degrees in August, making it a leading destination for winter sun. The island is served by direct European flights all year round from airports throughout the UK, Spain, France and Germany. The cosmopolitan capital of Funchal is graced with a vast number of diverse restaurants, coffee bars and modern shopping centres, and, unlike many destinations, the vast array of restaurants are open all year round, ensuring an excellent lifestyle.
The Prometheus projects were crafted with a vision of giving you a shining beacon to call home. Madeira lies in the heart of the North Atlantic Ocean, abundant in rugged cliffs, magnificent waterfalls and endless opportunities for invigorating adventure. That is why we created 5* luxurious homes to match the environment.
