East coast
Machico
East-coast revitalisation ongoing; the only Madeira municipality with academic PDM (master-plan) coverage in the MDPI literature; drafting its own AL brake in 2026.
AL status updated
2026-04-24
Microclimate
Drier east coast; trade-wind exposure
Buyer notes
If Machico enacts its own AL suspension, yield investors should model the Funchal-equivalent scenario. Long-term residential value is supported by the VR1 east extension and the Caniçal industrial corridor.
Flagship areas
Before offering. Municipality-level data is updated quarterly. Price-per-m² figures reflect listed inventory on major portals - realised transaction prices often differ. AL status depends on the current municipal câmara decision under DL 76/2024 - verify via the câmara website before relying on it. Always cross-check with a Portuguese property lawyer.
