Gentle sea breezes stir the lush foliage of the 10 acres of mature subtropical cliff top gardens that surround Belmond Reid's Palace, a landmark historic hotel of classic distinction basking in year-round sun. Founded in 1891, Belmond Reid's Palace has spent over a century playing host to many legendary figures and guests earning itself a reputation for luxury and tradition. Vogue highlights its 'hushed colonial ambience'; Belmond Reid's is a place where afternoon tea is still served, guests dress for dinner and rooms are set aside for the genteel pursuits of bridge, billiards or dance lessons. Madeira's finest cuisine is best showcased at the renowned Michelin Star William Restaurant which uses fresh produce and innovative flavours to an award wining standard.

The guest rooms and suites are individually decorated in pretty pastel colours offering traditional style and comfort, offering old-world charm and sophisticated elegance. Features include plush king-sized beds, spacious marble bathrooms and balconies, or patios that overlook the ocean or the renowned hotel gardens.

The choice of superb restaurants has been one of the cornerstones on which Belmond Reid's has built its reputation. Live music complements the opulent splendour of the Dining Room, while panoramic views of Funchal harbour are the backdrop to Ristorante Villa Cipriani. Afternoon tea is still very much in demand at the Tea Terrace.

Belmond Reid's Palace offers an enviable range of activities, enhanced by its island location. On-site are three swimming pools (the pool at sea level fills and empties with the ebb and flow of the tide) and two tennis courts. Venture beyond the grounds to experience deep-sea fishing, water sports and excellent golf nearby.
