Landscape & Topography

Paradise Valley Calheta unfolds across gently sloping, south-facing terraces and pathways, rising from a lush valley floor to elevated plateaus with sweeping mountain and sea vistas. Crystal rivers and natural lakes gather in the lower contours, feeding a series of spectacular waterfalls that cascade through mature scented eucalyptus forest. Generous, buildable clearings provide multiple prime positions for a signature villa or resort core – all with outstanding sun exposure and existing road access – while smaller, secluded pockets are ideal for additional private residences or guest villas. Madeira’s most complete and breathtaking undeveloped canvas.
