Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts has launched its newest European property with the opening of Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor.
Announced in 2021, the former Hotel Formentor joins Four Seasons’ historic portfolio of restored and enhanced European hotels. Located in the Balearic Sea in the Mediterranean on the island of Majorca, the vast private estate with carefully restored gardens, seaside woodlands, rugged cliffs and secret beaches, is a former hideout for the glitterati.
The completely updated and modernised Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor blends poetic charm with luxury hospitality and European sophistication. The 40-hectare resort is set amid a large estate that also includes a working vineyard – truly a world away, and yet easily connected to surrounding sites and countless recreational pursuits.
With sustainable practices at the core of the Resort’s restoration effort, all 110 guest rooms and suites have terraces facing the sea, and some also offer private plunge pools. The décor of both private and public spaces is bright and airy with natural materials throughout, evoking a seaside glamour that is both nostalgic and very modern.
In the surrounding landscape, native plantings of fragrant flowers are now growing among towering pine groves, allowing for walking paths, exotic garden settings for weddings and other events, and quiet spaces for solitary reflection.With a fleet of luxury vehicles on land and sea, Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor is the starting point for explorers of all interests. The Resort’s concierge team has put together a suite of unique experiences and one-of-a-kind excursions that are guided by local experts in their respective fields.
The full-day Enchanting Tramuntana mountain tour takes guests through rustic villages including quiet Valldemossa, the cliffside Sa Foradada, the artistic enclave of Deia, and a Carthusian monastery. Another recommended half- or full-day yachting tour takes guests around the Formentor Coastline with stops at secluded beaches for swimming and sunbathing, while other sea excursions take guests to the best diving spots around the peninsula and hidden caves for underwater exploration. Four Seasons has also devised a full-day trip across azure waters to the island of Menorca, where guests will find both quaint villages and pristine beaches.
The property features a pop-up spa with two treatment rooms and a new, full-service spa will debut in 2025.
Four Seasons invites guests to make a glamorous entrance at the resort, beginning with limousine service from the island’s international airport to Port de Pollensa. There, guests will board a luxurious Axopar 37 for the final picturesque leg of the journey taken by sea, disembarking on the Hotel’s private pier.
The inaugural season of Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor operates until 31 October 2024, before reopening in March 2025 for season two.
