Is tap water in Madeira safe to drink, or should I buy bottled water?
Yes. Tap water in Madeira is safe to drink and meets EU drinking-water quality standards. We strongly encourage clients to drink tap water and use a reusable bottle. Choosing tap water helps reduce plastic waste, lowers transport-related emissions, and supports sustainable use of local resources. Bottled water is unnecessary for health reasons and has a significantly higher environmental footprint.
