Vibe
Sandstone arches and contemporary paintings frame a serene adults-only courtyard retreat in Mallorca's quiet agricultural southeast.
“Artful sandstone bolthole”
Curated contemporary art installations paired with exposed marès sandstone walls and minimalist furnishings across seventeen rooms.
Attentive boutique pampering, plush bespoke comforts, and Michelin-recognized dining tucked discreetly away in southeast Mallorca.
A dedicated thermal circuit with Finnish sauna, Turkish hammam, sensation showers, and courtyard garden pool.
In the quiet inland town of Campos, twenty minutes from the beaches of Es Trenc.
“Rustic on the outside, it’s as plush as can be on the inside. The occasional rough-hewn stone wall only adds atmosphere…”
Rooms
Clean-lined interiors contrast warm marès sandstone walls and noble wood details, with original contemporary artworks hung throughout.
Wellness
The dedicated thermal circuit features a Turkish hammam, Finnish sauna, and sensation showers, complemented by a garden courtyard swimming pool.

Eat & drink
Tess de Mar serves seasonal Mallorcan dishes, while a ten-seat cellar counter at Kairiku pairs Japanese omakase with Mediterranean ingredients.

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.
