Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor commands a 1,200-acre private estate on the island's northernmost peninsula, where pine-covered cliffs drop into water so clear it barely registers as blue. The property traces its origins to 1929, when Argentinian arts patron Adán Diehl built Hotel Formentor as a creative retreat that drew Churchill, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn. Estudio Lamela and Parisian studio Gilles & Boissier led a renovation that added a floor while preserving the white modernist silhouette. All 110 rooms face the sea through glass walls that fold back entirely, dissolving the boundary between terrace and bedroom. Travertine, raffia, and sun-warmed ochre feel less designed than discovered; select suites add private plunge pools on ground-level terraces. The drive from Palma crosses the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO landscape of olive groves and dry-stone walls. A stone staircase descends to Formentor Beach — a Blue Flag kilometre of golden sand shaded by centuries-old pines.

Seven dining venues span Mel's farm-to-table Mediterranean cooking to Shima's Nikkei plates on a terrace where evening light gilds every dish. Llum i Sal builds its menu around the morning catch; Cercle's mixologists rework island botanicals alongside wines from the estate's own Viñas de Formentor vineyard. The 600-square-metre spa by Gilles & Boissier pairs Biologique Recherche facials with a thermal circuit of sauna, steam, and vitality pool. Cycle the cliff road to the 1857 lighthouse, sail out for dolphins, or picnic with cava on a cove reachable only by boat. The scent of Aleppo pine stays with you long after you leave.

We invite you to discover our refurbished Rooms & Suites, inspired by Mallorca´s indigenous charms and treasures. An adults-only 16+ hotel, with captivating panoramic views towards the bay of Palma, Castillo Hotel Son Vida embodies the alluring lifestyle of its affluent neighborhood. Combining an enriching heritage with thoughtful service, the sophisticated ambiance extends throughout 164 guestrooms and suites. 

Surrounded by three excellent golf courses and featuring two outdoor swimming pools for unequaled recreation, the hotel also offers prime downtime by Castillo Hotel Son Vida Spa, including a 24-hour fitness center. A dining destination on its own, an inspired range of restaurants, make the most of the unsurpassed vistas, from fine-dining Es Castell to bodega-style Es Vi. Our renovated meeting rooms boasting natural daylight, create the perfect setting for corporate and social events.

Right at home in the Mediterranean countryside, the bright spaces of Finca Serena Mallorca provide the warmest of hellos. The delicate scent of olive trees greets you as you walk through the hotel grounds – past cypresses and lemon trees – with rippling hills and dramatic peaks as far as the eye can see.

The calm, comfortable rooms and suites are an elegant reflection of the great outdoors – after all, sublime scenery is just outside the window. That sense of bringing the outside in extends to the gastronomy too, which draws on the influences of home soil. Own grown produce provides the base for the menus here, with wellness at the heart of the delicious dining experience. Wellbeing is at the heart of the Finca Serena Mallorca experience with yoga, meditation, outdoors tai chi classes, running sessions and horseback riding. You will also be able to take part in cooking demonstrations with the hotel's chefs and visits to the kitchen garden.

Set in a prime position in Palma's old town, Sant Francesc Hotel Singular is ideal for a luxury city break. The carefully preserved exterior may be right at home in its historic surroundings, but this elegant hotel is anything but old fashioned. Step inside and discover interiors that evoke this former manor's grandeur, alongside original artworks and chic furnishings that bring it right up to date. Watch the world go by in buzzing Sant Francesc Square from your private balcony. Take a swim in the rooftop pool, or pamper yourself with a massage in the wellbeing treatment rooms. And to finish your day in style, sip chilled champagne and signature cocktails on the private roof terrace.

Located on a prominent corner above the fortified walls of Baluard Es Príncep in the historic center of Palma, Mallorca, Es Príncep creates a feeling of ethereal airiness from its formidable perch. Floor to ceiling windows allow sunlight to flood the guest rooms and common areas, while its elevated position on the Baluard offers sweeping views of the city and sea, particularly from the rooftop terrace, Almaq, which promises breathtaking panoramas at any time of the day.

Dining is an exciting adventure at Es Príncep: award winning chef Fernando Arellano has translated his passion for local Mallorcan cooking into dishes that showcase both his knack for tradition and his innovative spirit. Cocktail aficionados revel in the well crafted mixtures and creative mixologists perform acts of wizardry every night behind the bar. But the hotel’s pièce de résistance is Es Príncep’s Cocô Spa Oasis, a haven for sybarites looking to unwind after days spent exploring the beauty of Palma.

Four terracotta-hued buildings trace the Mediterranean coastline between the cliffs and the Puerto Portals marina on Mallorca's southwest shore. This is The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, open since 2002, where 125 rooms and suites each come with a generous private terrace facing a sea that shifts from indigo to jade with the hours. Palma is a ten-minute drive; the airport, roughly twenty. Yet the resort feels removed, its natural-stone round arches echoing traditional Mallorcan architecture while gardens of palm, bougainvillea, and lavender cascade to the water's edge. Rooms are dressed with handcrafted furniture and Frette cotton linens; marble bathrooms carry Sodashi and Sachajuan amenities. The St. Regis Butler Service, available in every category, handles garment pressing, itinerary planning, and every detail in between.

Dining anchors the experience. Es Fum, awarded one Michelin star and a Sol Repsol Sun, is led by Chef Miguel Navarro, a La Gomera native who trained under Martín Berasategui before taking the helm in 2017. His multicultural island cuisine folds Atlantic memories into Mediterranean terroir: shojin ryori ravioli, Valladolid suckling lamb with Asian nuances, in-house smoked Mallorcan sheep's-milk cheese. Terra celebrates the island's larder with organic produce from local farms, while Mar Sea Club brings Mediterranean and Latin American flavors to the shoreline at sunset. The 4,700-square-meter Arabella Spa, the Balearics' first thalassotherapy center, houses eleven treatment rooms, a saltwater pool, Finnish sauna, ice cave, and steam bath, blending Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western therapies. Families find a dedicated Explorer's Club, and nearby golf courses keep players within easy reach. Whether you come for a dinner that redraws culinary borders or an afternoon of sea breeze on your terrace, the Mardavall accommodates both with equal ease.

Guests will find spacious rooms and exceptional suites, all with balconies and spectacular views of the sea. Savor fine dining with surprising Mallorcan influences at Arrels by Marga Coll, focused on fresh garden and market products. Bardot presents Mediterranean fare showcasing the best seasonal fish and seafood. When the occasion calls for romance, nothing surpasses dinner for two on the beach and when it comes to pampering and relaxation, the luxurious Spa by Clarins offers a range of tailored beauty, well being, and health treatments.

La Residencia clings to a hillside on Mallorca's northwest coast, on the edge of the artists' village of Deià, with the UNESCO-protected Tramuntana Mountains rising behind and the Mediterranean shimmering below. The hotel beats from the heart of two manor houses dating to the 16th and 17th centuries, their honey-coloured stone walls fronted by pale green shutters. Inside, original beams meet whitewashed walls, and in summer the cool terracotta tiles fend off the heat. The 67 rooms and suites are scattered among olive and citrus groves, each individually styled with Mallorcan antiques and original artwork, part of a collection of more than 750 pieces by local artists displayed across the property. Rustic white walls, beamed ceilings, and tiled floors set a calm, earthy tone, and a handful of suites come with a private full-size or plunge pool that opens onto views of the village and the sea. The scent of citrus drifts through the gardens, and the pace here slows almost without your noticing.

Gastronomy is the house's pride. Chef Guillermo Méndez, who has cooked here for nearly three decades, champions Mediterranean cuisine built on local ingredients and a wine list drawn from the island's rising producers. El Olivo, set within a medieval olive mill, ranks among Mallorca's most romantic restaurants, while Café Miró offers a more relaxed table beneath 33 original works by Joan Miró, with Tapas, cocktails, and a live band come evening. The hotel's own olive oil flavours the food and finds its way into treatments at the award-winning spa, where six treatment rooms and three open-air terraces let you take a massage in the mountain air. Two outdoor pools catch the sun, and a heated indoor pool, sauna, and whirlpool sit beside the spa. You might also lead one of the resident donkeys up the ancient terraces for a picnic in a shepherd's hut. This is a place for travelers drawn to the slow Mediterranean rhythm, and to art, mountains, and sea in equal measure.
