Curator Katharina Herold Moving her complementary gallery space from Hamburg to the townhouse in the charming Felanitx, she describes Mallorca as “a magical island from creative ideas from around the world.” Katharina agrees it is a year-round destination, and she recommends November or even early December. Some of her internal tips include Sunday at the Consell Flea Market, enjoying the discovery of retro and unusual household items, Corazón’s outdoor movie night, Deià’s S’Hortet Cafe, offering fresh, locally produced lunches and aroma festival spice shops in Parma for perfumes from Mallorcan Inspired.
Readers who are good at beauty will be happy to know that Mallorca is small but powerful and has a group of design-led hotels so powerful that only big hitters like London and Paris can compete with it (london and Paris (a, price). You may notice that many of the island’s hotels follow similar decorative concepts. Wood with linen, natural stone, overhead lights, modern art and heavy-duty restoration. Not that we complain about too many good things. Especially when they are all so elegant, emitting quiet luxury without statements, but choosing someone you like can be tricky when so many hotels deserve a coffee table book. In fact, it’s hard to narrow down our shortlist.
Unlike equally expensive resorts such as Marbella and Mykonos, with high heels and high multi-storey yachts, Newgen at Mallorca’s luxury hotel tends to be healthy and carefully selected guest experiences. They are more likely to offer respiratory classes and pop-up exhibitions than full-day DJs by the pool.
