Top 10 All-Inclusive & Luxury Resorts in Madeira

The Editor's Note

Madeira floats in perpetual spring, its cliffs stacked with gardens and its hotels stacked with views. The new luxury here is volcanic — stone spas, cliff-edge infinity pools, and a service culture inherited from the island's centuries as a wintering refuge. These are the stays that command the Atlantic most completely.

01

Funchal, Madeira

Belmond Reid's Palace

The grand dame of Madeira, Reid's has watched over Funchal bay since 1891 — a cliffside palace of colonnaded terraces, three pools and a spa, where Churchill wintered and painted.
