- The Jacarandá Club, the Reserve's private lounge and bar, leads to a rooftop infinity pool reserved for its 40 rooms, away from the larger hotel's crowds.
- In January 2025, The Reserve earned Two MICHELIN Keys in the first edition of the MICHELIN Guide ever published for Portugal.
- Turndown service includes a bottle of Madeira wine and traditional honey cake, a nod to the island's hospitality traditions.
