Spain's Balearic islands are a veritable paradise of Mediterranean sun, great cuisine and unrivalled leisure and pleasure. Each of the islands has own identity, but its perhaps the largest of the four which has earned a name for having some of Spain's Best Hotels. Majorca offers visitors a wealth of holiday activities. Not only can you sample the simple joys of Mediterranean island life, but the island itself is rich with natural beauty and the stamped with the ages of history. A history which helps compose the sense of luxurious living which is now part of the island's allure.
From the long stretches of beach and the beautiful mountainous landscape, to the markets, eateries and abundance of architecture which remains from ancient peoples, this island has the all the ingredients for a magical stay. Whether you want to escape to the north and languish in seclusion or be situated close to the capital city, Palma, and dip into the vibrant local culture of food and nightlife, Majorca's Best Hotels offer 5 star leisure and luxury for every kind of trip.
Famed for architecture which is invested with stylistic elements from the many historical nations which have contributed to the make-up of the Balearics, it is unsurprising to find here some of Spain's Best Hotels.
Majorca offers visitors a choice as diverse as tastes are likely to be. Those who prefer the modernist design elegance in a serene, natural environment will find it with 5 star credentials. Similarly, those who hope to take the rare opportunity and endow their stay with a sampling of historic grandeur, will find no shortage of heritage establishments, whether it be regal and majestic or simply charming and delightful. A place which speaks of a majestic past perhaps more than any other is Castillo Hotel Son Vida. Son Vida is located just above Palma and the Castillo overlooks the marvellous bay and the city itself.
Originally built in the 13th century, this old castle has recently undergone a large renovation and is now one of Majorca's Best Hotels. Few places are likely to afford such a sense of luxury and grandeur as the Castillo.
Not only will guests find the accommodations equal to its proud heritage, but the modern guest can experience leisure and pleasure in a way the 13th century architect could never have envisaged. Situated within the Castillo’s extensive grounds, guests can take advantage of both indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as seek solace in the solarium or perhaps take a few hours to revitalize at the Beauty Spa.
In keeping with regal tradition, the Castillo also has two of the island's finest restaurants. One, the Es Castell, is glass-fronted and affords a great view of the bay for diners who will enjoy the full array of Mediterranean cuisine cooked by a master of the art. For those with a taste for international, the Castillo's second eatery, Es Vi, offers a variety of wonderful delights to savour while sipping wine from one of Spain's most celebrated cellars. A must for the foodie and oenophile alike.
For those who prefer not to take a postprandial cigar in the George Sand Cigar Lounge, the three nearby golf course are a splendid way to take in the view, have a gentle stroll and, of course, get to play a round on a championship course.
Majorca's Best Hotels are dedicated to comfort, style and service excellence. While many offer historical buildings or a zen-like calm and minimalist design, you're still assured of every amenity and modern convenience. Were it not for these great establishments, this historic island might not have become one of Europe's most popular destinations for the discerning traveller.
