It's true! And while traveling to the beautiful Portuguese Island of Madeira is always a great idea, no matter what the season, this pristine paradise is fast becoming a hub for those able to work from home or wherever they might roam. Now that the world is returning to travel post-COVID — and many of us are now able to work remotely in this new normal — there has never been a better time than now to make Madeira your next European destination. 

Not only has Madeira been voted among the world's safest destinations in Europe, giving you the peace of mind needed post-COVID, but getting here from the U.S. Mainland and Europe has never been easier!

Madeira Island is a digital nomad's dream destination, offering a perfect balance of work and leisure amid breathtaking landscapes

Among this dreamy island´s highlights that you will absolutely not want to miss is the charming port city of Funchal, a cruise-ship hub and a historical and colorful city teeming with restaurants, cafés, and friendly locals. Also, is something to look forward to? Exploring the city's narrow streets paved in black and white stones and the colorful and lively markets. You can also indulge in delicious Portuguese food, like the local fish, savor bolo do caco, and sip poncha as you people watch under the sunny skies of Madeira. The options for enjoyment and adventure are truly endless when you visit magical Madeira. 

But, why exactly are digital nomads beginning to flock to this haven famed for its beauty and blissful weather? We’re glad you asked…

Like-Minded Digital Community 

We weren’t kidding when we claimed that Madeira is becoming a hotspot and the go-to destination for digital nomads, and as of 2021, the Regional Government of Madeira actually created a tester project called Digital Nomads Madeira Islands, which is specifically aimed at attracting — and accommodating — those who are able to bring their work with them. They do this by setting up what is known as the Digital Nomad Village.

In a nutshell, this concept provides living, coworking, and community for digital nomads on the island. The initial trial was so successful, more and more digital nomad villages are now opening across the island, which in itself is a testimony of just how open and accommodating the entire island is to creating an ideal environment that is not only welcoming but is conducive for digital nomads to work from paradise. The added benefit that you will also be surrounded by other digital nomads, while getting to experience a whole new culture, is icing on the cake. 

 

In the Middle of It All 

Yet another reason why Madeira is a great fit for many digital nomads is that its physical location in the central time zone lends itself to conveniently coordinating with multiple time zones, countries, and even continents, both East and West!

Getting Back In The Saddle of Travel: The Details

For those who may be nervous about what to expect when traveling once more, we’ve got the 411 for you! You will be arriving at Funchal Airport in Madeira Island, which accepts the American CDC (as long as it is shown in digital form).

If you’re fully vaccinated and hold a CDC, you won’t even have to take a COVID test on arrival.  At the moment, when you return to the U.S., it is required that you present a negative test or provide documentation from a licensed healthcare provider of having recovered from COVID-19 in the 90 days preceding travel. The good news is that Madeira makes this easy, as the Madeira Government will offer you the test you need on your way back … and we'll schedule it for you!
