After a thoughtful restoration and the addition of numerous enhancements, a long-time European summer favorite has reopened as a new Four Seasons experience. Set in the heart of a vast private estate with carefully restored gardens, seaside woodlands, rugged cliffs, and secret beaches, the Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor has reemerged as a sustainable and soulful luxury holiday destination, retaining its glam-chic charm.

“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 holidaymakers who love the sun, sand, and sea, all wrapped in the heartfelt care for which Four Seasons is renowned, the story of this beloved destination continues.”

The 40-hectare (100-acre) resort is set amid a large estate that also includes a working vineyard, offering a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet easily connected to surrounding sites and recreational activities. The resort blends poetic charm with luxury hospitality and European sophistication, respecting the natural beauty of the land and its history.

Modern Interiors Surrounded by Thoughtfully Restored Gardens and Natural Wilderness

Sustainability is at the core of the resort’s restoration efforts. All 110 guest rooms and suites feature terraces facing the sea, with some offering private plunge pools. The bright and airy décor uses natural materials throughout, evoking a seaside glamour that is both nostalgic and modern. The surrounding landscape has been meticulously restored, with native plantings of fragrant flowers among towering pine groves, allowing for walking paths, exotic garden settings for events, and quiet spaces for reflection.
