Teplá moře Madeira

When you think of warm seawater in Europe, you don’t automatically think of the Atlantic—but teplá moře Madeira, přírodní vodní prostředí s konzistentní teplotou až 22 °C celý rok, které umožňuje koupání i v zimě. Also known as teplé moře na Madeiře, it’s not a myth—it’s a fact backed by ocean currents that bring warm water from the tropics right to these islands. Unlike most European coasts, where water freezes in winter, Madeira keeps its sea at a comfortable temperature year-round, making it one of the few places where you can swim in January without shivering.

What makes this even more special is how přírodní koupaliště, přirozené koupací zóny tvořené sopečnými skalami a přírodními bazény, které nevyžadují žádnou úpravu vody dominate the coastline. These aren’t artificial pools with chlorine—they’re rock-carved basins filled directly by the ocean, heated by the sun and protected from rough waves. Places like Ponta da Calheta, kde se voda udržuje teplá díky přirozenému zahřívání v přírodních bazénech or Porto Moniz, slavné svými sopečnými bazény, které jsou ideální pro rodiny i plavce are exactly what you’d imagine: clear water, no crowds in off-season, and the feeling of swimming in a natural spa.

And it’s not just about temperature. The teplé destinace, místa s příjemným klimatem, kde je možné koupání i v zimních měsících like Madeira attract people who want to escape cold winters without flying to Asia or Africa. You get sun, calm waters, and clean beaches—all without the tourist chaos of the Mediterranean. Locals swim here in December. Tourists come in February for the warmth. And the water? It rarely drops below 18 °C, even in the coldest months.

So why isn’t everyone rushing here? Maybe because it’s not on every travel list. But if you’ve ever wondered where to go for real, natural, year-round swimming in Europe—this is it. Below you’ll find real stories from people who’ve swum here, tips on where to find the warmest spots, and what to pack for a winter swim that doesn’t feel like a challenge. No fluff. Just what works.
