Pleta De Mar, Luxury Hotel By Nature

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.
