Welcome to the luxury
of having time

Just 25 minutes from Palma airport (26.3 km exactly, the right distance for guests to arrive unhurried and leave without emotional jet lag), Son Xotano is a last-century estate converted into a 22-room boutique hotel, where Mallorcan stone converses with a French-inspired sensibility: clean proportions, textiles with character, nothing that shouts luxury and everything that whispers it. Condé Nast Traveler has written that here "luxury is design, serenity and authenticity"; The Times called it "the quiet, forgotten side of Mallorca"; Travel+Leisure summarized its philosophy in a phrase that could be the motto of any wedding celebrated between these walls: "luxury is not measured in formality, but in care." For those seeking a Mallorca estate wedding away from the predictable script — generic white marquee, textbook DJ, toasts in single file — Son Xotano proposes something else: a world built to measure for each couple, with the entire estate at their disposal and not a single guest unconnected to the celebration.

There is an hour, in the mid-afternoon, when Menorca's light stops being white and turns golden, and the centuries-old olive trees of Morvedra Nou cast long shadows across the dry stone. It is then that this 17th-century country house —built as a farm estate, now a boutique hotel of twenty-six rooms— reveals why it has become one of the most sought-after addresses for those dreaming of a wedding in Menorca unlike any other. Ten minutes from Ciutadella and forty-five from the airport, across seventy hectares of olive trees and wild olive groves, here history, nature, and art converge in the most authentic way: without artifice, without haste, with silence as the main luxury.

There are paths in Menorca that don't lead to any beach. They head inland, between dry stone walls and fields that smell of freshly turned earth, until they stop before a 19th-century estate of sandstone masonry and aged wooden beams. There's no sign announcing it from afar. It's called Amagatay —"hiding place" in Menorcan— and that name isn't a marketing whim: it's a statement of intent. Fifteen minutes from the airport, sixteen from Mahón, and just over half an hour from Ciutadella, this former agricultural possessió has become a twenty-room boutique hotel that has decided, with uncommon conviction, that a wedding doesn't have to feel like a spectacle

A change of place does not necessarily need to mean a change of routine. For those who train regularly, the best hotel gym is not simply a room with a treadmill and a few weights. It is somewhere that allows you to continue doing what you already do at home: strength, cardio, mobility, recovery — without having to reinvent your training every time you travel. At Gran Hotel Margalida, in Banyalbufar, the gym has been designed precisely with that in mind.

The total solar eclipse on August 12 will be one of the most spectacular astronomical events visible from Spain. In Mallorca, the west coast will offer privileged conditions for observation. And if there is one place where the experience will reach its fullest expression, it is Gran Hotel Margalida, located in Banyalbufar, in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, perched above the sea.

In 2026, luxury events are no longer defined by ostentation, but by something far more meaningful: emotion, memory and the feeling of having lived something truly unique. Celebrations evolve into deeply sensorial experiences, carefully designed so that every guest feels special. At Annua Signature Hotels, this vision is not a passing trend, but part of our DNA. Our luxury hotels, set within exceptional natural surroundings, become the perfect stage for the most exclusive events of the year.

On the west coast of Mallorca, suspended between the Serra de Tramuntana and the Mediterranean Sea, this small village preserves an almost impossible geography: centuries-old agricultural terraces cascading down to the water, stone houses carved into the hillside, and a rich historical legacy. Its name comes from the Arabic Bunyál-bahár, meaning “built by the sea.” Every dry-stone wall, every Malvasía vine and every ancient irrigation channel tells a living story.

Menorca, the jewel of the Mediterranean, is transformed every spring into a destination where nature, culture, and time converge. May is the perfect month to enjoy the island without the summer crowds and to take part in a wide variety of events and activities for all tastes.

In the Balearic Islands, wellbeing isn’t something you search for — it simply happens. It happens under the soft sun, on rural paths scented with countryside air, in coves where the water shifts shades of blue every minute, and in hotels that turn calm into a tangible experience. Mallorca and Menorca have become two of Europe’s most inspiring destinations to disconnect, move with intention, and reconnect with nature. Each island offers it in its own way: Mallorca, with its vibrant Mediterranean energy, endless fields, and rich, nuanced gastronomy. Menorca, with its slow rhythm, preserved silence, and untouched nature. At the heart of these experiences are the Annua Hotels, retreats where architecture, landscape, gastronomy, and wellbeing blend effortlessly. Discover Annua Signature Hotels.
