2 February 2021 Madeira is emerging as a frontrunner choice for remote workers following the opening of a major development. The Digital Nomads Village has been referred to as the most significant project in Portugal to date for remote working, following a steep rise in demand accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Crowned Europe’s Leading Island Destination for the seventh time last year at the World Travel Awards, the lure of this sub-tropical Atlantic haven is growing, with many seeing it as an ideal place to take up temporary residence. The village is situated in tranquil Ponta do Sol on the south coast, with views out to the Atlantic and a short drive from the charming capital, Funchal.
