Originally opened in 1929 as Hotel Formentor, the elegant Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor celebrates its glorious rebirth in one of the most beautiful locations on the largest Balearic island. The resort combines a fascinating history with timeless luxury, Mediterranean charm, and discreet elegance. Nestled in the Serra de Tramuntana UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, beaches, and steep cliffs, you will experience an oasis of tranquility and closeness to nature. With excellent culinary experiences, first-class wellness and sports facilities, and a children's program for the youngest explorers, this retreat offers the perfect setting for a stylish getaway.
Three refreshing swimming pools invite you to relax, while tennis courts, a 24-hour fitness center, and outdoor yoga rooms tempt you to engage in sporting activities. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the picturesque trails through the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while sun worshippers can lazily dig their toes into the golden sand at the magnificent Formentor Beach or enjoy water sports such as snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. A luxurious addition is a sailing trip with a gourmet picnic along the coast, an exclusive wine tasting at the hotel's own vineyard, or soothing treatments in the idyllic spa. Thanks to the varied "Kids for All Seasons" program, even the youngest guests will be kept busy.
The resort's elegant rooms and suites combine timeless elegance with a touch of Mediterranean flair. With magnificent views of the sparkling sea, lush pine forests, or picturesque gardens, each accommodation offers a peaceful retreat. The renowned Parisian design firm Gilles & Boissier has carefully considered every detail to create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Natural materials such as light wood and travertine in the spacious bathrooms, combined with warm ochre tones and refined raffia accents in the bedrooms and living rooms, create a harmonious atmosphere. Some of the exclusive suites also feature a private plunge pool – the perfect place to enjoy the Mallorcan breeze in complete privacy.
Start your day with a rich breakfast buffet featuring typical Mallorcan specialties such as sobrasada and Balearic cheeses. From morning to night, there are plenty of opportunities to indulge in Spanish delicacies: in the elegant Mel restaurant, you can enjoy a variety of Mediterranean dishes, while the Quiosc pool bar serves exquisite paella and rice dishes under shady pine trees, and the chic Xiringuito beach bar offers delicious tapas and snacks. The culinary experience is rounded off by the hotel's own wines and olive oils, which come from the surrounding vineyards and olive groves – a feast for all the senses in a dreamlike setting.
The legendary Four Seasons Resort in Mallorca, formerly known as Hotel Formentor, is celebrating a glorious renaissance after its original opening in 1929. Located in one of the island's most sought-after locations, on the picturesque Cap de Formentor peninsula, the resort combines timeless elegance with a history of welcoming generations of families, royal guests, and celebrities. Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco spent their honeymoon here, and the famous designer Jean Patou created his iconic palazzo pants on site. The luxury hotel has always been particularly appreciated for its unhurried atmosphere, unspoiled surrounding landscape, and discreet, impeccable service. The hotel's nature-loving charm is reflected in every detail – from its own vineyards, where grape varieties such as Manto Negro and Prensal are cultivated, to the olive groves that supply the resort with its own olive oil. Magnificent rooms and suites are bathed in earthy ochre tones and overlook the sparkling sea, lush gardens, and countless pine trees that are an integral part of Mallorca's characteristic landscape.
