Looking from the outside in, you can’t fathom the glorious views Zafiro Palace Andratx has to offer. Strategically designed and elevated to feel nestled in the lush mountainside overlooking the Balearic Sea and hypnotic blue swimming pools, no matter what room you stay in, you’re promised breathtaking views on views on views. Editor’s Note: As someone who never wants to work out during vacation, the gym here is a different story. With floor to ceiling windows displaying a beautiful panorama, you’ll feel motivated to rise early and take a run (or walk) on the treadmill.

First impressions matter and the moment you check-in at the chicly decorated lobby, you can anticipate the luxury that awaits. The welcoming staff doesn’t miss a beat and you’ll be tempted to linger longer than necessary taking in the pink marble floors, tiled walls, and splashes of green from the artfully situated plants.

There’s nothing worse than feeling overcrowded when trying to relax on your holiday—you don’t have to worry about that at Zafiro Palace Andratx. Many of the suites have a private pool option so you can take a dip completely at your leisure no matter the time. However, the trio of garden and skyscape infinity pools are what truly take your breath away. You’ll feel like you transported into a heavenly oasis.

If you also appreciate the finer things, the beautiful interiors of each room will remind you of your favorite Pinterest moodboards. No detail is overlooked with many of the artwork and furniture being hand-selected by the Owner and CEO of the Zafiro Hotels, Antonia Plomer.

Where To Eat: Mare Nostrum

Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, do not miss out on the desserts. Inventive and a just little mind-blowing, you’ll crave them long after your leave.

What To Do: Bodega Ribas

As one of the last remaining family-owned vineyards in Mallorca, Bodega Ribas is the oldest winery in Mallorca and dates back to 1711. Paying homage to tradition with elements from the ancestral family home still intact, whilst modernizing with the latest technology and a striking new facility designed by renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize Winner Rafael Moneo—you'll want to make time for this charming excursion filled with wine tastings, scenic strolls, good conversation, and lovely bites all crafted from local ingredients. Editor’s Note: Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop to stock up on the divine wines and small snacks made by the team at Bodega Ribas. The organic spring honey is a must-buy as well as any of the white wines (if not already sold-out!).

For a more immersive and unforgettable experience, the concierge can set up a perfume-making class with Viti Vinci where professional perfumers educate and guide you through an aromatic journey to concoct your own signature scent. Editor’s Note: Learning about the different fragrances and how it evokes memories takes you on a nostalgic tour. And seeing how many scents you can correctly guess is half the fun! Take this class with friends for a lot of laughs and heartwarming exchanges—you get to leave with a bespoke perfume created by you.

Zafiro Palace Andratx also has superior spa services that are designed to help you reconnect with your inner self. Sauna, Turkish bath, heated pool, facials, massages—take your pick.
