There's no other word for it; Belmond Reid's Palace (Formally known as the Reid's Palace Hotel) in Madeira is legendary. For more than a hundred years, guests have been flocking here. As we'll see, there are plenty of excellent reasons, but perhaps, above all else, it's because Belmond Reid's Palace has perfected the art of relaxation.
Of course the setting has a big part to play. Set in verdant sub-tropical gardens overlooking the Atlantic, Belmond Reid's Palace occupies a perfect spot. Whether you're drawn to the sunbeds, or you favour the cool shade of the trees, you'll find your own perfect way to relax.
The hotel gardens are internationally renowned: ten acres of lush vegetation (with trees from all over the world) and a riot of colourful flowers. And tucked away in the shade and seclusion of the gardens you'll find the spa...
The Spa at Belmond Reid's Palace is a beautiful facility, totally dedicated to rejuvenating mind, body and spirit. Here, with the sound of the waves lapping in the near distance, you can choose from a menu of treatments designed to really indulge you.
And another thing the Spa (and indeed the hotel itself) is as inclusive a facility as you'll find. Pampering is for everyone – men, women and children, old and young. After all, everyone deserves to enjoy the ultimate in holiday relaxation. Rooms at the Belmond Reid's Palace Hotel continue the relaxing theme in fine style.

Madeira is a haven of relaxation, and Reid's Palace Hotel is surely the perfect choice for anyone who wants to take their relaxation seriously.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Set in subtropical gardens overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this legendary hotel in Madeira has, for more than a century, been the ultimate place to stretch out in the sun and relax. Its subtropical gardens are internationally renowned, and now feature a spa tucked in among the trees. Over the years Reid's has honed the art of pampering every single guest. Whether a young child or a centenarian, a fun-seeking teenager or a sports-mad 30-something, there are activities both within the hotel's estate and beyond to keep you on the go year-round.
Bogdan from West Ukraine gave me an excellent deep tissue massage. I am an advanced medical/orthopedic massage therapist licensed in New York since 2014. I have had massages all over Europe and they all were bad except this one. My compliments to Bogdan for his kindness, professionalism, expertise, and DEEP pressure. I felt much better after. Also kudos to the spa manager for creating a gorgeous environment with great steamroom/sauna, shower with body jets, beautiful amenities, and incredible view of the bay. It's expensive but worth every penny for the experience. Remember to tip your therapist, he doesn't get all that money you paid Reid's!
Amazing hotel from the historic museum that is the hotel to the staff that run it . Every need catered for , got absolutely spoilt. Every department were astonishing. The hotel has the wow factor but it’s the staff that make you want to go back . Well done to you all
We had a pre-dinner Aperitif at Reid’s, and it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, the welcome warm, the view beautiful. Elegance and timelessness at it’s very best.
Went with two children, aged 11 and 7, easily accommodated in a large room with them on a sofa bed. The hotel made us feel special, the staff looked after us fantastically. In Reid's dining was delicious, and the concierge was generous with their time organising reservations anywhere else we fancied. Easy valet parking included, great for the rental car. Get the better rental car if you visit Madeira, the hills are crazy.
The best hotel. Best restaurant. Best bar. Best view. Best everything. I pure delight to return to everytime im on Madeira. Sit down and relax and just take in the old world charm. Splendid service with superb location. Well worth every penny. To stay at Reids is to be part of history.
