Reid's Palace A Belmond Hotel

Beach Area Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.4
 

Reid's Palace, a distinguished five-star cliffside sanctuary on Madeira's subtropical shores, enchants with its Edwardian legacy since 1891, where 10 acres of lush gardens cascade to the Atlantic's eternal embrace, inviting guests to a haven of quiet grandeur and timeless renewal.

The 150 elegantly furnished rooms unfold with graceful familiarity, featuring balconies with ocean or garden vistas, minibars with complimentary soft drinks, free in-room movies, and opulent marble bathrooms with premium toiletries. Select suites boast spacious living areas for contemplative afternoons, creating serene retreats where the devoted staff ensures thoughtful details, from plush linens to personalized welcomes, fostering a sense of gentle belonging amid the island's verdant hush. The property's storied whispers, from royal visits to literary sojourns, linger softly in every corner.

Dining at the Michelin-starred William Restaurant celebrates Madeira's finest ingredients with exquisite dishes crafted from seasonal bounty, savoured in an elegant setting. Villa Cipriani offers classic Italian warmth, while The Dining Room evokes Edwardian soirees in winter splendor. The restyled bar with its tea library and new Brisa Do Mar, suspended over the Atlantic, crafts fine cocktails and light bites, complemented by the gelateria's sweet indulgences. A daily breakfast, brimming with fresh, island delights, softly awakens the senses. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from garden rambles to cultural discoveries, capturing Madeira's poetic rhythm with effortless poise.

Just 3 kilometers from Praia Formosa Beach, a 15-minute walk to Funchal's nightlife and centre, and 20 kilometers from Funchal Airport with free private parking, Reid's Palace offers seamless access to the island's cultural treasures, complemented by Reid's Palace Spa with indoor and outdoor therapy suites, private whirlpool, dry and wet saunas, tennis courts, modern gym, and three swimming pools for profound tranquility.
