Workation in Calheta: the essentials
On Madeira's south-west coast, Calheta spreads over terraced slopes above a small marina and two artificial golden-sand beaches protected by breakwaters. The municipality has only about 11,000 residents. Its sugar-cane past survives in a rum distillery, and the MUDAS art centre sits on the cliff above the bay. Houses are scattered, so you will want a car or have to plan around the buses. In return you get one of the island's sunnier stretches, surf at Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar, and the Paul da Serra plateau with the Rabaçal levadas just uphill. Madeira Airport is about 35 km east.
