Villa Murphy is situated in a calm rural area. Panoramic views of the ocean and mountains are simply breathtaking. A 5 min drive from the new marina in Calheta, where the only sandy beach on Madeira resides. Here you can swim, fish and rent boats or jet skies. Of course you may decide to take a ramble or enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the many delightful restaurants.
Jardim Do Mar is also only 5 mins away in the opposite direction and is ideal for surfing lovers. Foodies will enjoy the seafood restaurants.
The levadas of Rabacal, Prazares and The Lakes are all only a short drive away. However there are numerous levada walks on your doorstep should you decide to explore closer to home.
