What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
a calm haven between the blue sky and the windswept dunes, the interiors mirroring the outdoor landscape while offering protection from the elements.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Wooden boardwalks lead through pine groves directly to the sweeping white sands and turquoise waters of Playa de Migjorn.
The rooms
Earth-toned rooms feature driftwood accents, while Cielo suites add private rooftop terraces looking out over the pine canopy and dunes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Double daybeds and parasols edge the saltwater pool, sheltered under the canopies of native pine trees.
The spa
Curtained tents and private suites host restorative bodywork, singing bowl sessions, and cold plunge therapies.
The outdoor gym
An open-air timber deck in the pine grove holds wooden training gear, free weights, and an exercise bike.
Dogs stay too.
The Garden Restaurant
Woven pendant lights hang above wooden terrace tables among the dunes, where dinner is accompanied by live music.
At the table
The rooftop terrace looks out across the pine canopy and sea, serving evening tapas and cocktails accompanied by DJ sets.
How it began
An art collector transformed a modest former island hostel into a gallery-like retreat integrated with contemporary sculpture and traditional dry-stone masonry.
