One visitor described the island as 'paradise'
A cluster of islands with green mountains rising from the sea, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful destinations on the planet and a bucket-list country for many travellers. But for us in the UK, they’re rather difficult to get to.
Yet there’s an island you can reach directly from Manchester Airport which has been dubbed the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ by travellers, and it only takes four hours to get there. You won't get jetlag either as it's in the same timezone as the UK. Madeira is a Portuguese island in the North Atlantic Ocean, lying west of the coast of Morocco and north of the Canary Islands.
One Tik Tok user @sophiaxverde called it the “The Hawaii of Europe”. In her video, which has amassed 166.8k likes, she said that they “walked off the plane into paradise” and that the island is “like another planet”. Madeira has a vast range of flora and fauna, while it also boasts some of the most incredible hiking routes in the world. One of its most magical locations is the Laurissilva forest, which dates back 20 million years.
