The sun trap of the west
Luxury Villas in Calheta, Madeira
A golden, sheltered beach beside a marina, banana terraces below and Casa das Mudas above. The hillsides hold much of the island's modern villa stock: concrete, glass and heated pools with the Atlantic as the fourth wall. The default for families who plan to live around their own pool.
Children and a pool? Calheta is the family default.
