One of our favourite ways to experience Mallorca is with Meliá, a homegrown Spanish brand that now has hotels all around the world, with each exuding a sense of calm. A two-centre holiday combining two Meliá hotels – one of them a brand-new adults-only retreat in the glorious UNESCO-listed Sierra de Tramontana mountain range and one of them a classic seaside getaway – is the perfect Mallorca trip.

The resort’s outdoor infinity pool is fabulous and there’s a gorgeous spa to enjoy, sunrise yoga sessions to try, and incredible Mediterranean-global fusion cuisine to feast on especially the dishes made using the freshest local produce – some from the hotel’s olive and orange trees, aromatic herb patches, and vegetable garden. All in all, Hotel Ratxó Meliá Collection is the perfect spot to disconnect from the world and to immerse yourself in nature’s energy.

Rooms and suites combine low-key modern chic with traditional Mallorcan styling; some have whirlpool tubs and Balinese beds on their terrace. The main restaurant Es Llaüt serves à la carte dishes centred on fresh local produce, accompanied by Mallorcan wines made from Mantonegro and Callet grapes or a hand-picked selection of vintages from around the world, and there’s also the upmarket Sa Pastera snack bar with its global and Mediterranean nibbles, grilled meats and fish, and pasta, served in a blissful setting by the outdoor pool.
