Reid’s Palace is set in lovingly tended gardens, with wide views to the open ocean from its hilltop perch. Funchal Bay awaits down below, but this elevated position endows the property with sweeping vistas that’ll make it hard to tear yourself away. Take time to enjoy each of the Belmond’s eateries and bars, from Michelin-starred cuisine at William Restaurant to afternoon tea on the terrace. Revel in sumptuous surrounds in your guestroom or suite and relax on a sun lounger by one of the outdoor pools. Play a game of tennis, go biking, try a new watersport or unwind in the spa.
