The luxurious and impressive Cap Rocat, a former 19th-century military fort, has been transformed into an extraordinary boutique hotel with great imagination and attention to detail. Located near the rugged coastline and an idyllic forest, an incomparable oasis of tranquility has been created here at Cala Blava, promising privacy and relaxation. Experience drawbridges, bunkers, and trenches up close, which now serve as a dramatic backdrop for elegant rooms, a magnificent infinity pool, two tempting restaurants, and a sumptuous spa.
In addition to the large infinity pool and a library, the hotel also has a 24-hour gym, a private cinema, a bar, a shop, and a spa housed in a former limestone water storage facility. Treat yourself to a massage, one of the Ayurvedic treatments, or the pampering Hammam ritual. Cap Rocat also offers a range of individual activities and experiences, including golf, tennis, sailing, deep-sea fishing, diving, horse riding, Pilates, yoga, helicopter or boat charters, and guided tours of local street markets, private villas, or cultural hotspots. You could even take a cooking class with chef Victor García.
The sprawling grounds feature 26 beautifully appointed suites and two rooms—most of which are former military installations, making your dream vacation even more spectacular. Each accommodation enjoys a gorgeous covered daybed and private terrace offering spectacular views of the ocean and adjacent forests. Six suites have private plunge pools, and in some you can even sleep in dreamy four-poster beds. The atmospheric rooms are furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs in neutral tones, which are accentuated by high vaulted ceilings, soft fabrics, historic black-and-white pictures, and elegant stone floors.
Cap Rocat has two restaurants run by chef Victor García: the elegant La Fortaleza in the main building and The Sea Club, a relaxed open-air restaurant right by the sea. The latter serves freshly prepared dishes for lunch and dinner, cooked on a traditional Mallorcan wood-fired grill. La Fortaleza is open for dinner and offers Mediterranean cuisine made with locally sourced organic ingredients. A selection of wines is also available, including Ca'n Xicatlà—a local white wine produced in limited quantities that is not to be missed.
A dream vacation at Cap Rocat promises a new kind of adventure. The former 19th-century military fortress has been ingeniously transformed into a comfortable and chic living space by internationally renowned architect Antonio Obrador. With wide underground passages, a large stone bridge, and huge crenellated gates, the boutique hotel is reminiscent of a film set, mixed with the features of an ancient Moorish citadel. Natural stone, marble, wooden ceilings, and soft lighting are combined with furniture in neutral tones and carpets in bold colors to create a relaxing atmosphere. The shimmering infinity pool at Cap Rocat gives you the impression of floating above the horizon and is another guarantee of relaxation and well-being.
