Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor

Character and identity

Reborn from the legendary 1929 Hotel Formentor on a 1,200-acre private estate at the tip of the Formentor Peninsula, this 110-key resort threads its white façade between limestone cliffs, pine forest and a 1,200-metre crescent of white sand. Estudio Lamela handled the structural revival; Gilles & Boisier dressed the interiors in ochre, travertine, raffia and pale woods, with every room facing the Mediterranean. The anchor restaurant Mel works a farm-to-table Mediterranean register, joined by Shima for Nikkei, Quiosc for paella under the pines, and Cercle as the social heart. Working vineyards, century-old olive groves, a private yacht and hiking trails into the cape complete the picture.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What you're paying for is the setting and the pedigree of the renovation, not yet the finished product: significant pieces of the food and wellness programme only land in 2025. Book a sea-view room or a pool suite, target the shoulder weeks when the opening discount applies, and come back next season once Shima, the permanent spa and the ice cream parlour are properly open.
