Porto Santo by private jet

Porto Santo is best known for its magnificent golden sand beaches, which stretch for several kilometers along the island’s northeast coast. These pristine shores offer crystal-clear, warm waters — perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports such as diving, sailing, and surfing. Adventurous visitors can also explore the sea caves and vibrant coral reefs along the coast.

Beyond its beaches, Porto Santo boasts a preserved and diverse natural environment that will delight hiking and ecotourism enthusiasts. The marked trails cross a variety of landscapes, from sandy dunes to rugged cliffs, passing through pine forests and fields of wildflowers. Panoramic viewpoints offer breathtaking vistas of the ocean and neighboring islands.

Despite its small size, Porto Santo has a rich and fascinating history. Christopher Columbus, the famous explorer, lived here for several years before setting off to discover the New World. History lovers can visit his reconstructed house, now a museum dedicated to his life and voyages. The 16th-century church of Nossa Senhora da Piedade is another historical site not to be missed.

What makes Porto Santo truly special is its authentic and laid-back atmosphere. Far from the crowds of major tourist destinations, the island offers a peaceful rhythm of life and warm hospitality. The picturesque villages, such as Vila Baleira — the capital — invite you to wander through narrow streets lined with artisan shops, fresh seafood restaurants, and lively cafés.
