A boutique hotel in Mallorca,
where no one will see you, but you'll see everything.

A hidden hotel atop the historic terraces
of Banyalbufar, where every room opens
onto the Mediterranean.

MALLORCA, SPAIN

GRAN HOTEL MARGALIDA

Gran Hotel Margalida is the key to a Mallorca that no one knows. Perched high above the historic terraces of Banyalbufar, its discreet walls conceal a hotel that opens entirely toward the Mediterranean. Every room faces the horizon, while terraces, gardens, and shared spaces follow the shifting light from morning until sunset. The cuisine of Joan Escalas, integrative wellness, contemporary design, and highly personal service come together in an experience defined as much by what you feel as by what you see. Each afternoon, as the sun begins to fall, Margalida starts anew.

Every room faces the horizon.

Discover Banyalbufar: a village where sea and mountains meet

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.

How to keep your training routine at a hotel

How to keep your training routine at a hotel

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.
