The Belmond Reid’s Palace is a place of sea breeze, palm trees and hibiscuses, of Portuguese tiles and venetian blinds, and overall vintage appearance.

Your French windows open onto a balcony and the sea horizon. On the terrace, an afternoon tea invites you for a moment of tasty old-fashioned elegance. The evening brings live music to the bar: jazz, swing, piano. Two restaurants, one Michelin-starred, the other Italian, will ensure each meal excites your anticipation.

And note you can bring your pet along. Here, animal guests are as welcome as their owners.
