Cap Rocat
Cala Blava, Balearic Islands, Spain
Set within a 19th-century fortress overlooking the Bay of Palma, this hotel offers a unique retreat on Mallorca. Restored by architect Antonio Obrador, the fortress seamlessly blends into a 30-hectare nature reserve with two kilometers of protected coastline. Recognized with the Europa Nostra award, it combines history, architecture and natural beauty.
Guests can explore courtyards and watchtowers carved into sandstone cliffs. Vaulted chambers that once guarded the bay have been transformed into elegant spaces of comfort and privacy. An exceptional destination for those who appreciate heritage architecture and unspoiled natural surroundings.
