Since opening its doors in 1950, the hotel has been regarded as one of Mallorca’s most exclusive and has hosted famous names such as Montgomery Clift and Errol Flynn. It has expanded over the years and has been refurbished with modern additions while preserving the original features. More recently, the hotel provided a stunning backdrop for some scenes from the BBC mini-series The Night Manager. It’s so peaceful here that it’s hard to believe that you’re just 10 minutes from bustling Palma. Take advantage of the incredible setting by relaxing on the terrace with a cool glass of cava, lounging by the beautiful infinity pool or jumping right into the ocean.

Mallorca has a wonderful year-round climate and the hotel certainly makes the most of it, perched above a pine-fringed stretch of golden sand lapped by the Mediterranean waves. The building itself is reminiscent of a fairytale castle with flagstone walls and enchanting turrets, and was a favourite among Spanish aristocrats in the 1950s. The regal outdoor pool is lined with loungers and private canopied beds overlooking the sea, there’s a traffic-free promenade below which is great for a stroll, and the pool bar means you’re only a few steps from a refreshing cocktail.

Warm and welcoming, the family-owned Mon Port Hotel & Spa is tucked into the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains, near the Bay of Andratx. Port d’Andratx is an exclusive enclave to the west of Mallorca, with a quiet boat-speckled harbour by day and a buzzier scene after dark, when the waterfront bars and restaurants twinkle like fairy lights strung along the promenade. The design of Mon Port nods to traditional architecture: terracotta roofs and low-slung hacienda-style buildings, arranged around a large outdoor pool and palm-tree garden. Behind its amber-tinted façade, the hotel is filled with elegant rooms, painted in soft yellow hues and fitted with tiled floors and white wrought-iron bed frames. Many open onto private balconies or terraces, overlooking the UNESCO-protected Tramuntana Mountains. You can enjoy a wonderful buffet breakfast in the main restaurant, and there's a lovely piano bar with a shady terrace for chilled drinks, to a live music soundtrack. The spa is a peaceful cocoon, with tiled floors and local stone. A thermal circuit loops around whirlpool baths, a sauna, steamroom, indoor pool and sensory showers, while the treatment menu spans Ayurveda, hydrotherapy, facials, massages and body therapies – the oxygen face treatment is great for tired skin.
Pleta de Mar is a super-sophisticated retreat, tucked away in an enviable sea-view spot on Mallorca’s east coast. The hotel fits beautifully with its former farmland surroundings – local architect Antoni Esteva has used everything from natural stone and bamboo to sleek floor-to-ceiling windows to create a minimalist and elegant décor. Between the sandy paths, manicured lawns and olive and palm trees you’ll find plenty of secluded spots to unwind. Stroll for five minutes down a private path to enjoy exclusive access to Cova dels Albardans, a small stretch of sand where you can go swimming. Try out the sauna, outdoor hot tub and small al fresco gym, or work your way round the quartet of golf courses within a five-mile radius. When it comes to dining, the hotel restaurant, Asador del Mar serves an excellent buffet breakfast, with a selection of Spanish cheese and cold meats. Enjoy freshly prepared local fish and meat dishes like Rockfish ceviche and Iberian pork with pineapple chutney from the à la carte lunch and dinner menus, before an evening of sipping cocktails and local wines at the Garden Bar. The choice and quality of food here is excellent but you can wander over to sister hotel, Can Simoneta for dinner if you’re looking to switch things up a bit. The 30 single-storey suites have easy access to the hotel’s two infinity pools, and each one comes with a private terrace, outdoor shower and Bang & Olufsen sound system. Upgrade from a Concierge Suite to a Premium Suite for a whirlpool bath and views over the Mediterranean Sea. Splash out on one of the spacious Luxury Suites for a separate living room and an outdoor bathtub.
The past is all around at Zoëtry Mallorca. At its heart is a large and elegant manor house that can trace its roots back 600 years, and in the peaceful grounds there’s a 15th-century windmill and a neo-gothic chapel. These provide a uniquely atmospheric backdrop to more recent additions such as sleek outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts and a cross-country running track that are all part of a holistic approach to wellness that encompasses everything from the estate’s organic vegetable garden to the yoga-themed retreats. The spa, of course, is a key feature in all this - and it doesn’t disappoint. The chic light-filled space contains treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy pool and a thermal suite where everyday cares are sure to fade away. But it’s not the only place where you’ll experience a gentle restoration of body and soul. It’s just as likely to happen as you sip an impeccably mixed cocktail on a stone-cobbled terrace worn smooth by time or savour the freshest Mediterranean dishes with a twist in the grown-up gourmet restaurant. And if that isn’t enough to banish your stress, you can always organise a trip in a hot-air balloon or a romantic dinner on a fishing boat. There are 90 rooms and suites arranged across several buildings: the original manor house and more recent structures next to it. The decoration is contemporary-elegant, with period features in some rooms, and a palette of warm, earthy tones. The Double Tramuntana rooms are in the old house, while the similarly sized Double Ponent rooms are in the newer buildings, with views over the countryside. If you want more space, opt for a Deluxe Double Tramuntana or a Deluxe Double Ponent; the latter has a private terrace. In the best spot in the historic house, the Junior Suite Tramuntana provides even more space and views over the garden.
Fontsanta Hotel has an all-encompassing atmosphere of serenity that owes much to its rural setting on the edge of a coastal nature reserve, close enough to the sea for the air to have a restorative salty tang to it. The beautifully renovated 19th-century main building is framed by newer ones in the same style, with pale stone walls and terracotta-tiled roofs, all of it surrounded by greenery. The same sense of harmony prevails within, where the interior decoration flawlessly blends old and new, with high, wood-beamed ceilings and other original features providing a graceful backdrop to contemporary paintings, sculptures and clean-lined modern seating in pale colours. But nowhere is that sense of calm and serenity more tangible than in the fabulous spa. Its mineral-rich thermal waters have been valued since at least Roman times for their healing properties. Nowadays, they power a thermal suite complete with a pool, Jacuzzi and baths for one or two, set under vaulted stone ceilings, as well as a steam room, sauna and Turkish bath. Outside, in the garden, lavender-edged paths lead to tucked-away hot tubs surrounded by loungers - little private escapes for more de-stressing. At the stylish restaurant, too, wellness is the theme around which the menu of exquisite, healthy, life-affirming dishes is created, and the chef will always be glad to assist with any special requests. The 37 airy rooms and suites feel almost like an extension of the spa, decorated as they are in a simple, restful and quietly luxurious style based around neutral colours, natural materials and splashes of colour from contemporary artworks. Opt for a Double Room Superior with Patio and you get a generous outdoor space in which to unwind; the Double Room Superior with Terrace gives direct access to the gardens by the pool. Peace is assured in the Junior Suite with Terrace with its garden views, while the Junior Suite Superior with Terrace looks out over the nature reserve. Largest of all is the Suite with Terrace; they’re all a little different, but have a partially separate sitting room.
