Majorca is one of Europe’s top vacation locations with an attractive subculture of boutique hostels concealed in the island’s interior where guests spend their day yachting to close by Cabrera Islands or hitting a variety of organic and Michelin-star eateries. Hotels in Majorca are general of extreme luxury and beauty. The natural scenery of this small Spanish island is absolutely breathtaking.

The 60-mile span across the island is constantly traveled on mopeds and three-wheelers by young couples. Taxis should be used liberally, with a rental vehicle being a smart investment particularly if traveling inland to where the most fashionable hostels are found.

Currently the grand ladies of Majorca hostels include Child Brull and Orient Express’ La Residencia. The second is favored by wealthy north Americans, found in the northwest of the island near Deia town below the pine-covered Tramuntana Mountains a great distance from touristy stupidity. La Residencia was once the personal home of poet Robert Graves, now part of a 30-acre estate that includes an accompanying 17th-century villa.

Today, rooms that defy the common chain-hotel dimensions are caught in country spaces with beam ceilings, terracotta tile floors and ethereal, all-white furniture that reflect an informal Mallorquin design. Days are spent by one of 2 pools subject to preening trophy-wives or on prepared walks with one of 3 “mule guides ” that go with guests along close by trails with well-packed gourmand picnics. For those looking out for a more bohemian, but similarly plush, hotel shelter, a visit to Can Simoneta is in order. The approach is just sublime with these luxury Majorca 5 star hotels

A field of coastal grasses with a hovering Mediterranean horizon is cut in half by a long, gravel drive lined by 100-year-old olive trees. A rambling farmhouse of century-old stone walls is enlivened by pastel shutters and snug pergolas that frame an architectural pool trapped by long grass and white loungers. Rooms are creamy white spaces of relaxing linen curtains and Venetian plaster ceilings with period wood detailing. A crowd wearing Missoni bikinis and Hermes scarves scatters away from each other to maximise the hotel’s isolated spa atmosphere, returning together for dinner at the communal patio restaurant or a midnight dip in the cliff-top Jacuzzi.
