2. Cap Rocat

Carretera d’Enderrocat, s/n, 07609 Cala Blava, Mallorca, Spain

From $700 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.2/10

Located in a fortress built for the surveillance of the Bay of Palma, Cap Rocat posed a great challenge in terms of its restoration, which involved transforming the facilities into a hotel as well as complying with the strict regulations governing a building declared a Heritage Asset and listed as a National Monument. The fortress lies within a Protected Natural Area and blends perfectly into the landscape. Cap Rocat has been completely renovated by Antonio Obrador with the utmost respect for its unique architecture and its natural surroundings. The project has received the Europa Nostra Award, among other accolades.

Cap Rocat is much more than a hotel: it is an architectural and environmental conservation project, as well as a tribute to all travellers who understand that visiting a new place contributes towards creating a legacy of love and respect for other cultures and ways of life. This legacy is the essence of the Vignetti-Obrador photo collection, which is preserved and can be visited at the Cap Rocat museum. Enjoying travel as the vital experience it is — unhurriedly — and with the aim of growing spiritually is the essence and philosophy of Cap Rocat. A journey for the senses that lets us reconnect with love for our own through the unknown.

It is nestled in a magnificent Mediterranean landscape between the sea and the mountains.
Close proximity to nature, sustainability and quality are important to us, both in our hotel and in our gourmet restaurant with its own herb and vegetable garden.
