Hospes Maricel & Spa, Cala Mayor

In a privileged seafront setting on the edge of Cala Mayor and a 15 minute drive from Palma, Hospes Maricel & Spa is a stylish luxury retreat in grand 16th century Mallorcan mansion-style. It offers personalised service, a peaceful ambience and fine surroundings in which to relax and unwind.

The hotel comprises two buildings, the Palace where most rooms feature sea views, and the contemporary style Natura where Mediterranean-inspired guest rooms and suites boast private terrace with plunge pool. The buildings are connected via the hotel's impressive private underground walkway filled with foliage and surrounded by leafy gardens.

There is a gorgeous infinity pool complete with pool bar serving snacks and drinks, and a private jetty allowing for sea swimming, with the beach around a kilometre away.

The sleek Maricel restaurant with its sea view terrace offers innovative cuisine and extensive breakfast choices, and the cocktail bar features live jazz once a week. The Bodyna Spa features indulgent treatments that can be enjoyed in unique cave rooms by the sea.
