Afew minutes’ walk from the exclusive harbor of Puerto Portals, Mardavall Hotel & Spa provides first-class golf, spa, and meeting amenities in an idyllic Mediterranean locale.
Golfers enjoy play on two adjoining 18-hole courses located near Palma. The legendary Son Vida course—the first on Mallorca, updated in 2001—features tight fairways, four lakes, and strategically placed bunkers that place driving accuracy at a premium.
Son Vida’s sister course, Son Muntaner, presents a setting of equal beauty accented by large greens, mature pines, and olive groves. The second and third holes feature water hazards running the length of the fairways—a true test of skill.
At the 50,000-square-foot Altira Spa, guests unwind with the help of thalasso, Oriental, and ayurvedic treatments, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. Specialties include the thalasso bath with underwater shower and abhyanga, a full-body massage that employs medicinal oils. The saltwater pool and soothing Finnish sauna melt away tension and stress, as do classes in yoga, tai chi, Reiki and qi gong. A solarium and a relaxation area with waterbeds invite guests to linger at their leisure. Star hairdresser Udo Walz and La Prairie beauty treatments distinguish the full-service salon.
Group events take place in five meeting rooms with sea views. In addition, the main hall’s 3,356 square feet divide into three sections for maximum flexibility. A foyer hosts coffee breaks, receptions, and exhibits, while a spacious terrace accommodates outdoor functions.
Overlooking the sea and hotel gardens, 133 rooms and suites display original paintings from the hotel’s contemporary art collection. The artistic atmosphere continues in Es Fum, a fine dining restaurant where the cuisine blends the distinctive flavors of Europe and Asia.
Known for its attentive service, Mardavall Hotel & Spa succeeds in creating a Mediterranean oasis of relaxation and refinement.
