Last summer, travellers rediscovered the charm of Spain’s Balearic Islands. With their tranquil coves, endemic cultural quirks and authentic villages untouched by the sway of tourism, the islands won over guests looking to escape from the day-to-day. Whichever of the three main Balearic Islands you visit this year, you’ll find a Meliá hotel ready to welcome you in with a true taste of the island.
An adult-only retreat on the island of Majorca, this member of the exclusive collection of The Leading Hotels of the World occupies a spot on the coast around a 15-minute drive from the heart of Palma.
Sheltered day beds adorn the manicured gardens, enjoying views out to sea and well-positioned for a refreshing dip in the infinity pool. Dining options range from secluded romantic dinners on the hotel’s exclusive beach or in the Bardot Garden, to authentic Majorcan fare at Arrels centred around the freshest produce from the hotel’s garden or the local market.
The hotel makes it easy to get an authentic flavour of island culture through its curated list of experiences. Discover the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains from the sea whilst sailing on a traditional Menorcan “llaut” boat with a flute of champagne in hand, being led by a knowledgeable captain who’ll show you secret coves. At BRAVOS, chefs, designers and all manner of local artists bring their creations for culturally inquisitive guests to indulge in and discover a true essence of Majorca.
This fusion of 5-star luxury, cosmopolitan chic and laid-back charm feels very much at home on the White Isle. One of Ibiza’s most sough-after properties, due in no small part to its peaceful setting overlooking the sea in Santa Eulalia del Río, ME Ibiza is also a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
The hotel’s suites are delightful, each evoking the island’s elegant spirit through their stripped-back, white-on-white décor and generous amenities. The Art Suite features a spacious terrace with a sofa and sunbeds bordering onto a private pool. Suite ME is the largest accommodation with over 400 m2 devoted entirely to you, encompassing a private pool, terrace area, oversized bathtub with sea views, dedicated dining area and a copiously stocked in-suite bar.
ME+ is the Meliá VIP experience, which is open exclusively to suite guests, to ensure every aspect of their stay, from arrival to departure is as close to perfect as possible. This service is available around the clock and includes 24-hour personalised service from the dedicated Aura team, priority access to hotel facilities, restaurants and bars, private check-in, and suitcase unpacking and packing service.

Following a nine-month refurbishment work and total rebranding, Gran Meliá Menorca will be the first and only 5* luxury hotel on the island of Menorca and a benchmark for luxury hospitality in all the Balearic Islands.
