Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel

Set on cliff tops overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this legendary luxury hotel and spa resort in Madeira has, for over a century, been a standard-bearer for excellence. The resort is located on ten acres of subtropical gardens, boasts enviable access to the sea, an extraordinary oceanfront spa, and is within walking distance of Funchal’s shops, restaurants and night-life. Reid's Palace offers superb service, excellent hospitality and delicious culinary experiences in calm and exclusive surroundings. It was here that Sir Winston Churchill painted and wrote his war memoirs, and also where Sir George Bernard Shaw learned to master the tango.
