Belmond Reid's Palace

As remote tropical getaways go, Belmond Reid's Palace scores well, situated on its picturesque bluff on the Portuguese island of Madeira, north of the Canary Islands. The 163 luxury guest rooms are located on the front, all with gorgeous views over the ocean or the superb subtropical garden that surrounds the property. All rooms and suites feature marble baths, IPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs with DVD player, complimentary high-speed Internet, free soft drinks from the minibar, and private balcony or terrace. Amenities tucked into the terraced hillside that winds to the beach include a spa, sauna, steam bath, three ocean-view swimming pools—two of which are heated—two tennis courts, and a fitness center.

Belmond Reid's Palace welcomes meeting planners with six conference venues for business meetings and corporate events for up to 180 attendees, as well as the spacious Pool Terrace for outdoor banquets up to 260. Five seasonal restaurants serving international and regional cuisine offer unique gastronomic experiences.
