If you’ve been to Mallorca, you already know how stunning this Spanish island is. If you haven’t, it’s time to change that this summer. But don’t just stay anywhere. Stay somewhere truly special. How about a 19th-century fortress? But not just any fortress. This one that has been beautifully transformed into one a most exclusive hotels in the Mediterranean: Cap Rocat. Once built to guard Mallorca’s shores, it’s now a five-star retreat that flawlessly blends history with refined elegance. Its prime location atop the cliffs of Cala Blava provides breathtaking views over the Bay of Palma and an atmosphere of absolute serenity – despite being just a 20-minute drive from the island’s vibrant capital.
Cap Rocat promises a truly intimate and singular experience. With only 30 exquisitely designed rooms and suites, each accommodation is unique, shaped by its location within the historic fortress. Can you imagine sleeping in a room that was once a secret watchtower? Or in a suite carved directly into the rock, where cannons were once hidden? Intrigued? One thing is certain: from the moment you step into any room, you’ll be captivated by the decor, which flawlessly blends contemporary elegance with timeless classic.
Each room is an authentic sanctuary, complete with a private terrace and panoramic views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. But our favorite? The Sentinel Rooms – those carved into the rock in ancient defensive positions, where cannons were once concealed. In these rooms, privacy feels absolute. It’s just you and the sea. Oh, and there’s a small private pool, perfect for enjoying the incredible sunset in complete peace, with only the vast sea as your companion.
Beyond the luxurious accommodations, you will also be amazed by the gastronomic delights of Cap Rocat’s renowned restaurants, where Mediterranean and Majorcan flavors take center stage. For a relaxed yet flavorful meal, Sea Club is the perfect choice. Set in a stunning waterfront setting, this open-air restaurant embraces traditional cooking methods – think wood-fired grills and slow-cooking techniques that bring out the natural flavors of fresh fish, tender meats and savory rice dishes. If you’re looking for a more refined culinary experience, you must try La Fortaleza, an ode to creativity and craftsmanship. Here, avant-garde techniques meet the best local produce, transforming each dish into a masterpiece of flavor. Whether you opt for a tasting menu or a carefully curated à la carte selection, every bite is a celebration of innovation and excellence.
But the experience at this hotel doesn’t end here. The spa is another must-visit – it offers a level of luxury that feels truly otherworldly. A curious and fascinating detail? The spa is located 12 meters below ground, deep within the rocks, in the most sheltered part of the fortress. But believe us, the setting is nothing short of spectacular, bathed in perfect natural light, promising to help you reconnect with your senses. At the spa, you can indulge in an exclusive selection of treatments inspired by Mediterranean traditions or unwind in the indoor saltwater pool. You’ll feel as though time slows down, with no rush, and you’ll never want to leave – trust us!
