Hotel Pleta de Mar

Rooms

The 30 suites are white, single-storey blocks scattered about the lush grounds of what was once coastal farmland. Their airy style is minimalist, Scandi-chic: beamed bamboo ceilings, oak flooring and blonde wood furniture. Cream-coloured linens drape the beds; curvy marble baths are set on stones. All have grassy terraces, some with views through trees to the sea. Wonderfully, the suites have indoor and outdoor showers - a rarity for Mediterranean hotels.

We love the pretty garden of the Privilege Suite, with its ivory Balinese bed. For those who want to soak as well as sit, the Premium and Superior suites have outdoor hot tubs. The bedroom and lounge are separate rooms in the Luxury Suites - these are larger, with floor-to-ceiling windows and pebbled courtyards.

Even more spacious is the magnificent Gran Suite, a standalone villa with its own pool overlooking the ocean.

Features include:

• Hairdryer
• Minibar
• Safe box
• WiFi

Eating

Mornings start with a substantial buffet breakfast. Along with fresh fruit, yogurt and cereals, expect Spanish cheeses, cold cuts and Mallorquin salads. Individual egg and crepe dishes are served at your table, on the long terrace by the main pool.

For other meals, the hotel’s Sa Pleta restaurant has a la carte and tasting menus of modern Mediterranean fare. Generous cuts of meat and fish are the main focus, grilled over wood-burning ovens. Wok bowls, pastas and paella are offered at lunchtime. For dinner, we like the sound of grilled seabass or the dry-aged Galician ‘Vaca Rubia’ (Blonde Beef).

The wine list is international and there’s a garden bar that serves cocktails until dusk. Guests can also stroll over to next-door sister hotel, Can Simoneta, for supper – its clifftop restaurant has views over the Bay of Canyamel.

Activities

• Pick a pool – swim laps in the large saltwater pool set in the lawn, watch the sunrise from the secluded ocean-facing infinity pool, or dip into the heated plunge pool by the spa
  
• Pamper yourself – indulge in an Abyanga massage or orange and vanilla bodywrap at the spa, which also has a sauna and shaded outdoor gym
  
• Head to the beach – the golden sands of Cala Millor and Cala Torta are a short drive away, or book the hotel speedboat and cruise along the coast to discover hidden coves
  
• Hit the links – there are 4 excellent golfing greens within an 8km radius: Canyamel, Pula, Capdepera and Son Servera. Tennis courts are also nearby
  
• Explore the region – it’s a 15-minute drive to the medieval castle of Capdepera and the fascinating caves of Arta, and only a 10-minute walk on a rural road to the 13th-century watchtower museum, Torre de Canyamel
