Cabot Pollensa Park Spa ★★★★

The legendary author Agatha Christie described the morning mist rising over Port de Pollença as possessing the ‘exquisite vagueness of a Japanese print.’ This same mystical quality can be experienced on the island today, and when you see it, you’ll understand what caused so many internationally renowned artists to flock here. The edge of the island wraps round like a crescent moon, so that the port feels delightfully snuggled between the mountains and the crystal-clear waters of the Balearic. It’s a space that really demands exploration, whether that be up in the hills or down on the ivory sands.

The Hotel Cabot Pollensa Park Spa**** is centrally located, just a short walk from the main marina and mere metres from the beach. It is a striking Y-shaped building with a large communal pool area found where the Y splits, replete with sun loungers and parasols. The design is decidedly modern, much like the interior. You can stay in the Double Room with or without sea view, a relaxing space doused in monochromatic white that makes clever use of the room’s symmetry, also featuring a wonderful furnished balcony. The Junior Suite also opts for a minimalistic, monochromatic approach, which opens up its larger space for the Mediterranean light to beautifully illuminate.

​When you arrive, pop open your complimentary bottle of wine, provided by the lovely team, and celebrate the start of your dreamy Mallorcan getaway. As the hotel’s name might suggest, the Spa is not at all an afterthought, but a wonderful chance to indulge in a range of services, as well the heated pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and more. If you’re peckish, dine at the hotel’s Restaurant U1969, a relaxed eatery by the beach that uses fresh local ingredients in its classic Mediterranean-inspired menu. Of course, all-inclusive means that can enjoy all of these services completely fuss-free, so you can put all your focus into your relaxation and exploration of the island.
