Meu Pé de Cacau is a tropical fruit garden and island retreat surrounded by dramatic cliffs to the north-east and the vast Atlantic Ocean to the south-west.

Four beautifully designed and sustainably built studios share the property with an infinity pool, social areas and luxurious plantations hosting hundreds of different tropical fruits, planted on traditional agricultural terraces hand crafted in basalt stone.

The space
We hope you find Meu Pé de Cacau the place for the next experience you are dreaming of — hiking along the wild West Coast of Madeira, surfing Paúl do Mar's giant tubular waves, immersing yourself in completely new flavors, or simply taking the time to read that next great book.

Mango studio offers spectacular views of the ocean and of the sea cliffs to the south. On the outside, the studio features a private outdoor porch with handcrafted wicker chairs and a small private garden. Inside, you are treated to a comfortable king-sized bed, a private bathroom with a rain shower, and a lounge area with a sofa, dining table, and a kitchenette.

Meu Pé de Cacau's common areas feature an infinity-edge pool, gardens, an outdoor dining area, an outdoor kitchen that is fully equipped with an induction stove and oven, as well as a barbecue. Espresso and filter coffee machines are available in the outdoor kitchen.

Visiting in Winter? As we have plenty of warm and sunny days even during our slightly cooler months, the pool is fitted with a heat pump that works to keep the water temperature from falling below 24C/75F, at no additional cost.

Throughout the gardens, you may find many herbs and spices available to use.

We have an Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi setup offering speeds of over 300mbit/s in each studio and the shared areas next to the pool.

Other things to note
- Rental Vehicle: Paúl do Mar is a small village with very infrequent public transportation, so we highly recommend renting a vehicle for getting here and exploring other parts of the island.

- Pack light: The property is built on many terraced levels, so remember to pack light to avoid carrying a lot of weight up and down.

- Wildlife: The local climate is borderline tropical, which means that lizards, birds, spiders, and various insects and bugs can be found in the area and our lush gardens. While we do our best to keep everything clean, you might see some of these finding their way inside, so make sure before booking that this is not something that you are uncomfortable with

- Tourist tax: The local municipality charges a tourist tax of €2, per guest, per night, up to 7 nights. This value is specified in the price breakdown and is part of your Airbnb payment. If any of the following exemptions apply, let us know so we can reimburse the amount: a) any nights stayed before 01/10/2024; b) residents in Madeira; c) children 12 and under; d) people with disabilities under specific conditions

Where you’ll be

Paul do Mar, Madeira, Portugal

Paúl do Mar boasts what is arguably the warmest micro climate on the island. So much so that we even have coconut palms here!

With a calm sea, enjoy the pebble stone beaches and never ending sunsets, beautiful hiking paths and explore the nearby banana plantations. When the wind and waves pick up, hop on a surf board or kite.

A few challenging hikes start from here, such as Caminho Real 23, which connects to the neighbouring villages of Prazeres to the east and Fajã da Ovelha to the west.

Along the 2km promenade, you will find quite a few interesting bars and restaurants. There is also a small convenience shop close by.

Meu Pé de Cacau is a family owned tropical fruit garden and island retreat where over the years we have introduced hundreds of tropical fruit varieties, some of them new to the island. And most recently, we added four beautifully designed and sustainably built studios, along with an infinity pool that has quite the looks.
