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.

A Must-Stay Hotel
We loved our time at Reid's Palace. Reid's surpassed all expectations we had of a hotel that is 135 years old. It was GORGEOUS beyond belief. I felt like I was in a movie the whole time I was there. Cliffside swimming and sunbathing, rooms that overlooked the ocean with sunrises, a terrace right off our room for morning coffee. Small thoughtful gifts each day for us to take with us. The staff was incredible all the way through. If anyone is thinking about visiting Madeira, Reid's Palace is a must for your stay!
Wonderful place !
I stayed 4 nights with my cousins in a suite The room is very large and comfortable with lovely balcony overlooking the sea The bed is very large and comfortable and the amenities very good . Tea and coffee making facilities. On arrival a cake and Madeira wine to savour . The bathroom is very large with separate toilet and plenty of space for toiletries.had a bath and good shower . Decor is generally a little dated and the TV stand at the end of the bed an eyesore and unnecessary. There is plenty of closet space and a good size safe . Has a steamer and Dyson hairdryer. Very well appointed. Breakfast buffet was amazing and staff really lovely. There are 2 pools and you can go into the sea right at the bottom of the cliff. All very beautiful and well maintained. The restaurant William was very good and tasty food . The chef came to our table and as was a special occasion had a delicious birthday cake Only 10 minutes but car to the centre of Funchal The spa was fantastic too as I had a wonderful facial there . All very clean A very good choice so would definitely recommend and all the staff were amazing

Another great visit to Reids
This was our fifth visit to Reid’s and it never fails to impress with its quality and brilliant staff

"Like slipping into an old pair of comfy shoes"
Our fourth visit (we are just new boys compared to some veteran returnees) to Reid’s offers a home away from home. We arrive and feel like we belong and are welcome !
From room selection to dining choices and even deckchair allocation we know the layout of Reid’s ..... and Reid’s know how to meet our choices and expectations. Staff (including the calm and professional reception team Benjamin/Joaio, the dedicated pool staff lead by Helder and of course the irrepressible Lucia) are always on call to ensure a comfortable stay.
The geography and topography of Reid’s suggests that it's only for the fittest and most agile - but that is a myth….just don’t leave anything you need in your room, as it’s likely to be a fair way away from where you currently are…..but navigating a tour through the manicured gardens and palatial public rooms makes every journey worthwhile !
Even the evening entertainment ( a classical recital one night, a pleasant trio another) after a variety of good local meals, is aimed to make you feel relaxed and cherished.
We look forward to a return visit as and when….but hopefully soon.
