Book A Stay

Four Seasons are beefing up their collection of beach hotels in Europe around the Mediterranean. It was only months ago when I announced the San Domenico Palace, Taormina, as the newest Four Seasons hotel in Europe. Then we had Four Seasons Puglia and now we have Four Seasons Mallorca.

Why would you care? Let me explain. This Four Seasons resort is located on the former Hotel Formentora, a seaside resort on the Spanish island of Mallorca. This hotel offers direct access to a pristine beach.

Of course, there is no Four Seasons rewards program, but if you are a regular guest of the Four Seasons or even want to try this iconic brand for the first time, you can take advantage of loyalty style benefits at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our concierge.

Originally opened in 1929, Formentor seaside resort is a landmark of Mallorca in a unique setting in the Mediterranean. The existing hotel will undergo extensive renovations before it is unveiled as a brand new Four Seasons hotel opening in 2024.

Four Seasons Mallorca will become the second Four Seasons offering in Spain following the opening of Four Seasons Hotel Madrid which we reviewed a few years ago. This will join the very best Four Seasons in Europe as one of the seaside Four Seasons destinations.

Location

Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, offers convenient access via ferry or a short flight from Barcelona, with direct flights from numerous European cities, including London.

Situated just an hour from Palma de Mallorca Airport, the forthcoming Four Seasons in Mallorca promises all guests a diverse range of experiences.

Style & Character

Renowned for its natural splendor and accessibility, Mallorca has captivated European and international travelers for years, earning its status as a premier tourist destination. Mallorca’s scenic beauty ranks it among the most coveted destinations worldwide with its turquoise waters, rugged limestone cliffs, and verdant landscapes.

The resort is located on a 1,200-hectare (3,000-acre) plot of the Formentor Peninsula, offering access to a pristine beach and a functioning vineyard a short five-minute drive away.

The project has been meticulously designed to honor and preserve its natural environment through a range of environmental initiatives. These include the restoration and nurturing of native vegetation, efforts to minimize water consumption with practices like rainwater harvesting and grey water usage for landscape irrigation, as well as the implementation of heat recovery systems.

Additionally, the utilization of solar power through solar panels and the implementation of food waste management systems further underscore the commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, the adoption of electric vehicles and a focus on low energy consumption through thoughtful design principles contribute to the overall environmental stewardship of the project.

Service & Facilities

Just a brief five-minute drive from the Resort, guests can immerse themselves in exclusive programming at the vineyard, featuring farm-to-table activities that offer a unique and enriching experience.

For those seeking relaxation and recreation, the onsite amenities include tennis courts and luxurious spa facilities, providing opportunities for both active pursuits and tranquil rejuvenation.

Rooms

Each of the 110 rooms and suites will feature balconies boasting scenic views of the sea and forest, providing guests with an immersive experience of the stunning surroundings. The renovations will be expertly handled by architects Estudio Lamela and SCT Estudio de Arquitectura, while interior designs will be curated by Gilles & Boissier.

Food & Drink

The Resort boasts an array of dining options, including an indoor restaurant, a beachfront restaurant and café, and a vibrant poolside bar and grill, ensuring there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Conclusion

From its extensive culinary options to its tranquil spa amenities and exclusive seaside activities, including direct beach access—a rare offering in the area, the Four Seasons Mallorca will be on every Four Seasons afficianado’s bucket list for 2024.
