Hidden beneath cliffs on Madeira’s southern coast, Fajã dos Padres is a secluded retreat reached by cable car, offering views of the Atlantic and terraced landscapes. Once a refuge for priests, it’s now home to organic gardens, vineyards, and pebble beaches with clear waters. The warm microclimate allows tropical fruits and vines to thrive year-round, and a small on-site restaurant serves dishes made from garden-grown ingredients. Visitors can explore the orchards, relax by the beach, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
