About Maktub

Uncovering the Charm of Maktub Pub

Maktub stands for “it is written” in Arabic. We could not describe this special place any better, it truly was meant to be.

The Maktub Pub is a hidden gem on Madeira island. Where memorable ocean views and exquisite flavours intertwine to create a truly unforgettable experience.

Nestled in the charming fishing village of Paúl do Mar, Maktub welcomes you to indulge in delicious dishes, refreshing drinks, and captivating sunsets.

Maktub Soundsgood

Yearly World Music Festival

Maktub Soundsgood Festival in Paúl do Mar has evolved, from a yearly celebration, into the ultimate reggae music event. This annual gathering unites local and international artists, embodying the spirit of reggae in a breathtaking seaside setting.

Maktub Soundsgood is more than a music festival, it’s an experience of unity, love, and cultural diversity. Join us and become part of our growing community.

One of my favorite restaurants on the island. Beautiful food and vibe while enjoying dinner with friends last night. Consistently delicious. Muito Bom!

For food you need to call them before and make sure they have a fresh catch, but for the drinks you can just walk in and if you cant find a table inside you can drink it in front of the bar where the majority stays and looks at the surfers or at the sunset. It’s a nice place, quiet, the people there are always kind and friendly.

Ótimo para um por-do-sol na ilha madeirense! Local de encontro e de convívio!

É um ambiente mais alternativo, tem uma vista incrível, fomos bem atendidos e o drink era ótimo!
