Hotel Vistamar by Pierre & Vacances ★★★★

Life can be a drag sometimes, getting bored of the same grey weather, stuck inside your office all day wishing 5 o’clock would arrive and whisk you away back home again. You need an escape from this mundane, never-ending hustle-and-bustle. You need a taste of the Balearic lifestyle, of all her different flavours. Fortunately, Hotel Vistamar by Pierre & Vacances has just prepared you a dish.

Nestled in the peaceful Portocolom Bay, the hotel boasts stunning panoramas of the coast from almost every spot, whether it be your own cosy abode, or from the two outdoor pools. This is a view to truly bask in! But should you desire to taste it even more, the popular Cala Marçal is just a short walk from the hotel, so you’re never far from fine golden sands. You could even choose to a take a short detour through the harbour and marvel at the colourful houses that line the shores.

Of course, there’s other delights on offer to taste, a buffet-restaurant inspired by Iberian cuisine that celebrates these beautiful surroundings. Fresh food, fine seafood, the Mediterranean diet is truly enviable.

The day slowly grinds to its natural halt, and on your return, you unwind with a game of billiards listening to dulcet tones of smooth jazz or bossa-nova. When the evening sunset returns with its usual orange glow, you can retreat to the comfort of a modern, spacious room, taking one last glance at the magnificent vista before closing your eyes and drifting off. This is pure joy; this is the Balearic life.
