The Mediterranean “grande dame” begins a new chapter as an intimate retreat that connects guests with the natural beauty of Mallorca while also introducing new dining, wellness, and recreational experiences, all delivered with renowned Four Seasons service. Following a partial opening in the summer of 2024 and the completion of renovation work, the resort will fully reopen on 14 March 2025 with a host of luxury experiences, new dining destinations, and an extraordinary wellness centre designed to help guests reset body and mind in a breathtaking setting.
Under the design direction of Estudio Lamela and set amid 40 hectares (100 acres) of forested land by crystal-clear waters, within a private estate that also features a vineyard, Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor offers a world of tranquillity. Despite its seclusion, the resort is well connected to the surrounding area and offers a wide range of recreational activities. Blending poetic charm with heartfelt service, it embodies luxurious hospitality and European sophistication.
One of the major enhancements at the property – originally opened as Hotel Formentor in 1929 – is the integration of modern technology throughout the resort while strictly adhering to Four Seasons sustainability standards. In the surrounding landscape, fragrant native plants now grow among towering pine trees, creating scenic walking trails, exotic gardens for weddings and events, and peaceful spaces for quiet reflection.
An oasis of 110 rooms and suites, each with a private terrace overlooking the sea – some featuring private pools – the resort’s interiors have been designed by Gilles & Boissier. The décor is bright and airy, featuring natural materials that evoke both nostalgic coastal glamour and modern elegance.
A Culinary Journey Inspired by the Seasons
At Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor, seasonal ingredients shine in a variety of dining concepts. Mel offers farm-fresh Mediterranean dishes from breakfast through dinner. Quiosc, an informal open-air kitchen with a terrace shaded by pine trees and cooled by the refreshing sea breeze, is located by one of the resort’s pools. Cercle, a bar at the heart of the hotel, is set on a panoramic terrace, serving as a gathering place to share stories over exquisite wines and expertly crafted signature cocktails. The return of open-air cinema continues last summer’s programme on the resort’s iconic stairways.
On the white sandy beach, guests can unwind on luxurious loungers while enjoying attentive service from Four Seasons staff. The beachfront also features Xiringuito, a pop-up beach bar offering refreshing drinks and light fare.
New for this year is Shima, a Nikkei-style restaurant that adds to the resort’s cosmopolitan ambience, along with Crocant, an artisanal ice cream parlour near the pool, serving a variety of handcrafted flavours and toppings.
In celebration of the third season of the acclaimed series HBO’s *The White Lotus*, the resort will introduce a Poolside Escape Cabana, available from 14 March to 14 May 2025. Located by the pool, the cabana will offer a special cocktail and dining menu inspired by the series’ filming locations – Maui, Taormina, and Koh Samui – all set to a curated playlist created for the occasion.
The Long-Awaited Opening of the Spa
One of the most anticipated new features is the Spa, a wellness sanctuary offering luxurious treatment rooms designed for rejuvenation and self-connection, harnessing the healing power of nature through eco-conscious beauty treatments using local botanical ingredients.
Wellness experiences at the resort include multiple swimming pools, a tennis court, a state-of-the-art gym, open-air yoga spaces, and numerous trails and hiking routes throughout the estate.
Adventures on Land and at Sea
The resort has curated exclusive experiences that allow guests to explore the stunning surroundings, including a range of water and underwater adventures just steps from the beach. Activities include snorkelling, non-motorised water sports, and boat excursions to Mallorca’s magical sea caves and remote beaches.
The brand’s second hotel in Spain will reopen on 14 March, unveiling a host of new experiences and offerings: new dining venues, an artisanal ice cream parlour, the eagerly awaited opening of the Spa, and a Poolside Escape inspired by the HBO® Original Series “The White Lotus” where guests can savour the finest cocktails and cuisine influenced by Maui, Taormina, and Koh Samui.
