“the hotel’s designers have transformed the place into an idyllic getaway, turning the dusty grounds into tropical gardens and the old military buildings into luxury suites”
Rooms
Whitewashed suites feature high ceilings, emerald tiles, and private walled gardens opening to full-sized saltwater swimming pools shaded by olive trees.
Wellness
A saltwater infinity pool perches over the cliffs, alongside open-air massages and yoga sessions framed by the coastal pine forest.
Backstory
The estate was reborn from a former military base, replacing barren grounds with thousands of native shrubs and traditional dry-stone walls.
Eat & drink
Casa del Mar serves seasonal Mediterranean seafood and island produce on a panoramic rooftop terrace or privately beside your pool.
The neighborhood
Trails along the Camí de Cavalls trace the southern cliffs down to the quiet cove of Cala de Llucalari.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
