The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort

Character and identity

Spread across four terra-cotta-roofed buildings on Mallorca's southwest coast, this resort trades intimacy for scale: 125 rooms and suites set within acres of manicured gardens, multiple pools and sea views in nearly every direction. The interiors lean into Old World grandeur with arched entryways, wrought-iron detailing and oversized chandeliers, while the rooms themselves take a more contemporary line. Anchoring the property are the three-tiered Cascade Pool, the 50,000-square-foot Arabella Spa (one of the island's largest, with an Egyptian brine bath, ice cave and hydropool), and a well-regarded restaurant. Service follows the St. Regis register, with butlers in the suite categories.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The defining feature here is sheer space: oversized rooms (even entry-level categories clear 500 square feet with sea-facing terraces), vast gardens, and one of Mallorca's biggest spas. Worth it for families and spa-led stays who will actually use the footprint. Book a suite for the butler service and deep tubs, and target shoulder season when the pools and gardens feel most yours.
