Portugal: Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Madeira
A Clifftop Icon Above the Atlantic
Reid's Palace has anchored Funchal's coastline since 1891, its pink facade and terraced gardens perched on a cliff above the Atlantic. Rooms and suites lean into timeless elegance, marble bathrooms, fine furnishings, and balconies angled toward the ocean, with Family Rooms and Junior Suites offering more space for those traveling together. The wellness center pairs ocean views with an Ytsara spa menu drawing on Asian healing traditions, alongside a newer menu designed for the whole family to enjoy together.
Reid's has long been a Madeira institution, and it plays that role well, formal without feeling stiff, and set up as easily for a quiet week by the sea as for multigenerational travel. The Fun@Reid's kids club runs daily activities from tropical garden scavenger hunts to cooking workshops, with children's amenities and on-request babysitting rounding out the family offering.
