After thoughtful restoration and the addition of numerous enhancements, a long-time European summer favourite debuts as new Four Seasons experience.

In the heart of a vast private estate with carefully restored gardens, seaside woodlands, rugged cliffs and secret beaches, a former hideout for the glitterati has reemerged as a sustainable and soulful luxury holiday destination that retains its glam-chic charm. Welcome to the inaugural season at Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor.

Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor Welcomes Guests, Introducing a New Chapter for the Storied Destination and Historic Landmark

"With our legacy of reviving legendary hotels with a respectful approach to modernization, we are very pleased to add Hotel Formentor to our portfolio of historic European properties that have been restored and enhanced as a new Four Seasons experience," says Rainer Stampfer, Four Seasons President, Global Operations – Hotels and Resorts.  "As we welcome a new generation of holiday makers who love the sun, sand and sea, all of it wrapped in the heartfelt care for which Four Seasons is renowned, the story of this beloved destination is continuing."

With deep respect for the natural beauty of the land and high regard for its history, the completely updated and modernized Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor blends poetic charm with luxury hospitality and European sophistication. The 40-hectare (100-acre) 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.

"Late summer is a wonderful time in Formentor as we invite guests to join us in the annual vineyard harvest, and then hopefully return next year to enjoy the wine they helped make," says General Manager Estreya Gosalbez, who leads a team devoted to helping guests make the most of every moment on the island.

Modern Interiors Surrounded by Thoughtfully Restored Gardens and Natural Wilderness

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.
