Gentle sea breezes stir the lush foliage of the 10 acres of mature subtropical cliff top gardens that surround Reid’s Palace, an Orient Express hotel of classic distinction basking in year-round sun.

 
Founded in 1891, Reid’s Palace has spent over a century playing host to many legendary figures and guests who cherish its old-fashioned elegance, earning itself a reputation for luxury and tradition. Vogue highlights its ‘hushed colonial ambience’; 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. The guest rooms and suites are individually decorated in pretty pastel colours offering traditional style and comfort, with marble bathrooms and modern amenities such as air conditioning and televisions.

The choice of superb restaurants has been one of the cornerstones on which 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 Les Faunes (in winter), tranquil ocean views that in summer are best enjoyed alfresco at the Brisa do Mar or year-round at the Ristorante Villa Ciprioni.

Reid’s 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.

For younger guests, there is the ‘Fun at Reid’s’ club, which is free of charge for children aged 3 to 13 years. Here, a programme of activities is organised by a special team of multi-lingual supervisors. Facilities include a children’s pool.
For frazzled parents, the La Prairie Beauty Centre offers a range of treatments, including massages, body treatments and facials, some formulated especially for men.
