Resort description
Belmond Reid’s Palace is a historic five-star resort on the island of Madeira, located on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The building is surrounded by botanical gardens with subtropical plants, covering 4 hectares. All three pools on the complex grounds are filled with Atlantic seawater and offer direct views of the ocean.
The main feature of the resort is the combination of the island’s unique natural and climatic factors with high-quality wellness infrastructure. Madeira has a mild subtropical climate with water and air temperatures comfortable year-round. Since the 19th century, the island has attracted patients from Great Britain and Europe for respiratory disease therapy, and later as a resort for nervous system restoration.
Atlantic sea air, rich in negative ions, has anti-inflammatory and relaxing effects, helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Seawater, rich in magnesium, calcium and iodine ions, stimulates blood circulation, supports immunity and nourishes the skin.
Belmond Reid’s Palace is suitable for those who need to reduce stress levels, recover from emotional and physical strain, and maintain skin tone and overall well-being.
