Pukiki Tiki Bar

Madeira's first and only tiki bar, celebrating the historical link between Madeira and Hawaii. Located in Estreito da Calheta, Pukiki Tiki Bar brings you the biggest selection of rum in Madeira, tiki and classic cocktails. Madeira is known as the Hawaii of Europe. In the late 1800s many Madeirans set sail for Hawaii to work in the growing sugar cane industry. Madeira already had a long history of sugar cane production and a very similar sub-tropical climate to Hawaii which made Madeirans ideal workers for this job. They became known as Pukiki to native Hawaiians and influenced Hawaiian culture in many ways, most famously by introducing the Ukulele (known as machete in Madeira) and malassadas. Pukiki Tiki Bar celebrates the link between the islands. We are passionate about all things tropical, mid-century Polynesian Pop, Tiki cocktails and Rum based drinks made from sugar cane. Join us and share the aloha spirit!

Great little tiki bar that gets all the details right: the right music, the right drinks, the right atmosphere. No surprise as the staff is clearly passionate about everything tiki. There's even a direct history link (Madeira and Hawaii) that you can read up on while lounging on the roof terrace and sipping cocktails made with some of the best rums in the world. Definitely a winner.

Ponta do Pargo Lighthouse

Reviewed By RMK_10 - London, United Kingdom

Arrived raining & returned another day to see beautiful corner of Ponta do pargo. Lighthouse as you expect is nearly at edge of Cliff. Message reads Danger, so pay attention. Views across from Lighthouse absolute breathtaking. Visit Museum inside enter through courtyard to witness the history. Some interesting pictures too. Enjoy.
