Workation in Ponta do Sol: the essentials
The name means Cape of the Sun, and this small municipality of about 9,000 on Madeira's south-west coast drew international attention in 2021 when a digital nomad village pilot began here. Houses rise steeply from a pebble beach and a short promenade, and the local cultural centre is named after the writer John Dos Passos, whose grandfather came from here. A handful of cafés and a little coworking make up the working life, so it can feel small after a few weeks. Levada paths and mountain roads start up the hill. The Via Rápida connects to Funchal, and Madeira Airport is about 30 km east.
