WB · PXO · 048Workation in Porto Santo: the essentials
Madeira's small sister island lies 43 km to the north-east and looks nothing like it: dry, low and golden, with a 9 km sandy beach along the south coast. About 5,500 people live here, most of them around Vila Baleira, where a house linked to Christopher Columbus is now a museum. Days revolve around the beach and bike rides on quiet roads, and in winter the wind picks up and many restaurants close. The ferry from Funchal takes about two and a half hours, and Porto Santo Airport is about 2 km from town. Rentals are scarce in July and August, when Portuguese holidaymakers arrive.
