Located on top of a cliff and surrounded by subtropical gardens, Reid’s Palace is a majestic place.

At the spa at Reid’s Palace I enjoyed the ‘Exclusive Regional SPA treatment’, a relaxing ayurvedic massage. After the massage the tight muscles on my back and shoulders were pampered with a special Madeiran Aloe Vera balm, containing eucalyptus and camphor. Special thanks to my masseuse Tina, who did a great job.

In the restaurant some organic and locally produced vegetables and fruit are used, produced at the lovely organic farm Fajã dos Padres.
