For $499 w/Air, Spend a Week in Europes Unto uched Paradise

We’ve already told you about the magic of Madeira — and now we’re telling you about this no-it’s-not-a-typo new offer for a weeklong vacation on the Portuguese island (aka Europe’s best-kept secret).

Right now, for $499, you can fly nonstop from New York to Madeira and spend a week exploring the warm-weather paradise floating in the mid-Atlantic. After sun-filled days of hiking, sampling tapas, sipping wine, strolling through subtropical gardens, swimming in lava pools and urban tobogganing (it’s a thing), you’ll retreat to a 4-star hotel tucked into the hillside in Funchal, Madeira’s thriving Old Word capital.
