Porto Formoso sits on the north coast, within reach of Ponta Delgada, Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa and Vila Franca do Campo. Visitors based in Nordeste, Setes Cidades or Povoação can also reach it by road.
As a restaurant, Maré Cheia draws on the island's cooking traditions, with fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines featuring on São Miguel. The 4.6 rating from 674 reviews reflects how visitors respond to what is served. Porto Formoso's north-coast setting places it away from the main southern resorts.
The islands are volcanic, with crater lakes, hot springs and steep coastal cliffs. The islands lie in the path of Atlantic weather systems, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year.
Ferries link islands within the same group, and Porto Santo is reached by ferry or short flight from Madeira. For visitors touring São Miguel, the Porto Formoso location makes Maré Cheia a natural stop on the northern route.
