During my four-night stay on the island, I took part in a number of excellent activities courtesy of TUI, including an incredible island tour which included a stunning beach-front lunch.

We also enjoyed Povoaçao Velha - the oldest settlement on the island, and had a taste of local life in the process, before our final stop on the sublime Santa Monica beach.
