Drawing in the rich and famous from around the world for its secluded position, you will be wowed at every turn by the open courtyard lounge, the golf carts that whisk you from pool to spa or Sea Club restaurant to your suite.
All rooms have a magic touch but none more so than the Sentinels suites on the edge of the cape’s cliffs. Snuggled into the rock like secret enclaves, they have been splendidly transformed from what were surveillance points controlling the entrance to Palma Bay into the most elegant rooms. There is nothing between you and the blue of the Mediterranean whilst you lie in the total privacy of the infinity plunge pool.

But if you do, the hotel’s bicycles will take you into the old town of Pollensa in about 15 minutes.
The recent addition of the Villa Suites offer space and privacy in their secluded setting away from the main hotel building. Seamlessly combining modern Mallorcan architecture with all the services of a 5 star hotel.
