Madeira 2023
MONDAY 9th - SATURDAY 14TH OCTOBER
Reignite your creative spark in the “Hawaii of Europe”
Have you dreamt of living the digital nomad lifestyle but it’s a little out of reach & a hella intimidating to go it alone?
Join a team of creative souls coming together to capture a snippet of the dream work/life balance whilst having a support gang by your side.
We’ll explore new towns, watch the sunset above the clouds, and come together to ignite new ideas in co-working sessions by our own private pool.
In this new innovative concept, we join together to split the costs of living the digital nomad lifestyle in wild locations across the world.
Creative Co-Living
Enjoy the comfort of our own private villa 🏡 .
We’ll be based along the main stretch of the Funchal coastline.
You’ll have the space to work solo or join the group and work/hang together in the joint areas (we highly encourage working on creative plans whilst dipped in the pool).
What we’ll be getting up to
We have a perfect blend of adventure, creative co-working & immersing in Madeira’s stunning culture.
Everything is optional so you have the flexibility to create your own week if you wish (whilst having a gang by your side for when you need us). We have worked with local guides to plan an epic few days, here’s what to expect.
Monday
Arrival Day
PM: Arrive in Funchal and settle into the villa. If we have time, we will head out for a dip in the ocean to really get the island life going.
We’ll then all head out for our first dinner together to chat about what’s to come in the week ahead (at a cute place by the ocean (weather dependent)).
Tuesday
Explore Funchal
AM: We’ll head out for a delicious brunch (it’s an interior dream) before exploring the delights on Funchal. We’ll soak up all the character of the Old Town and tour the famous street art. There will be many stops for the first (of many) pastel de nata of the trip 😋
PM: Co-working/free-time. This is your time to do what suits you. Work with others, explore the town further, or have a sneaky afternoon nap.
Evening: We’ll head into the marina for dinner and drinks together.
Wednesday
PR1 Hike & sunset above the clouds
AM: Co-working / free time. Go for a sea swim, have some breakie, and catch up with work. Use this time as you wish.
PM: We’ll be collected from the villa to start the famous PR1 hike from Pico do Arieiro to the highest peak in Madeira Pico Ruivo. It’s one of the most stunning hikes you will ever experience. We’ll reach the top in time for sunset and have dinner and drinks to celebrate (we’ll carry this with us). This will be an experience of a lifetime.
The hike is approx 4 hours, you will need a reasonable level of fitness but we will take lots of breaks for rests and photos 📸
(Weather dependant – as with anything in nature, we cannot promise a perfect sunset. We may move the hike if conditions are better on another day)
Thursday
Free day / Optional Activities
After our hike yesterday, this will be a more chilled day but we will open it up to the group. There are MANY options in Maderia from exploring waterfalls, to the famous basket rides down the hill, to whale watching, or even a day trip to the neighbouring island.
There will be plenty of time for co-working and actioning all the creative ideas we gathered from the mountains.
Evening: We’ll head to a rooftop location (weather dependant) for a delicious dinner and drinks
Friday
Free day / Optional activities
AM: After a delicious breakfast we’ll head off to see more of the island. I will offer a variety of options and as a group we will decide what we fancy doing (I’ll offer coast hikes to waterfall hunting).
PM: Co-working/free-time. This is your time to do what suits you. Work with others, explore the town further, or have a sneaky afternoon nap.
Evening: Our final night together 😢 . We’ll head our for dinner and enjoy a weekend evening in Funchal!
