Cap Rocat Boutique Hotel, Cala Blava
Unique luxury hotel near Palma, set in a former fortress overlooking the bay
A five star boutique hotel situated on a private peninsula in the south-eastern corner of the Bay of Palma.
Once a former 19th century military fortress that has been elegantly refurbished to provide unique accommodation in Mallorca.
Some military touches remain in this sympathetically refurbished retreat – entrance via the drawbridge, and bedrooms in the military quarters and shooting pads. Two restaurants serving Mediterranean cuisine, an infinity pool, direct access to the beach & the sea, free wifi throughout, plus all mod-cons in the rooms brings this old fortress bang up to date.
Created by Antonio Obrador and managed by MHM, this hotel hopes to set a benchmark in eco-tourism. All the original architecture has been preserved, and the restaurants use locally sourced produce. With only 24 rooms (and a no children under 15 policy).

Son Quint Golf Course
Located in Palma de Mallorca
The 18-hole course at Son Quint was created by James Arnold in 2009 and probably counts as the youngest course on the island. It has been landscaped using the native plants of Mallorca - featuring olive, carob and pine trees. Leyland cypresses provide a lateral protection to one side of the course. Throughout the 6,780 meters length of the course, stone walls typical to Mallorca, oleander bushes and lantana flowers complete a challenging, but fun, short golf course. The course was designed so to make best use of the views down towards the city of Palma and the Bay area.
