As soon as we arrived at the top, overlooking the coast, we were warmly welcomed and got a tour around the hotel. The grounds are lovely, with their own organic vegetable garden, lemon grove, pool, jacuzzi and terraces. It was so much fun to explore the hotel – indoors it is almost labyrinthine, with several little stone staircases and many rooms like a cosy library, lounge, bar, a dining room with a huge wooden dining table which would be perfect for a dinner with friends, and additional tables of the restaurant.

We were lucky and got the room with a private terrace and a direct access to the garden and pool area. But enough said, the photos can probably give you a better idea of the hotel.

After we’d enjoyed some wonderful time of doing nothing (in other words: reading and relaxing by the pool) in our hotel, we decided to do a little trip on our last day and took the crazy mountain roads to Port de Sa Calobra. Be warned: the journey itself is worth the trip, but Sa Calobra was far too busy, practically packed with tourists! We took one look at the tin-sardine-like bathers and turned on our heels. Luckily, we had heard about Cala Tuent, a beach right next to the popular and touristy Sa Calobra. It was actually so quiet, it made me laugh out loud – and, other than the little bays near Deià, this beach even had sand. Note to myself: Stay away from any places that are labelled “most photographed”. It always pays to ask the locals where they like to spend their free time.

Mallorca, we’re coming back!

The resort, which was originally built as a private residence, has only five exclusive casitas, each built with open doors and windows and an open-air bathroom, nestled in the jungle-like hotel garden. We stayed in the Premium Junior suite, which was wonderful. Breakfast was served in the intimate hotel restaurant and consisted of freshly pressed fruit juice, a bowl of fresh fruit, yoghurt and homemade granola, a meal from the breakfast menu (French toast, eggs and avocado, huevos rancheros, toast, …) and home made banana bread (so juicy and delicious!). Such a great start of the day, followed by extensive reading time in the hammocks or sun chairs on the beach, massages and walks along the beach. It’s difficult to swim in the sea in Santa Teresa because the waves are usually very strong (which is why it’s such a great place for surfing). But we loved the place anyway.

Dinner at Latitude 10 was great, too, but after relaxing on the hotel grounds the entire day we decided to go to the nearby Florblanca resort for dinner one evening. We watched the pastel-coloured sunset while enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail on the sun chairs and later walked up to the hotel’s restaurant for sushi. When we returned to Latitude 10 after dinner and walked through the garden to our casita, we saw that the hotel staff had put up candles on the steps to our villa and inside our room, too. They really know how to make your holiday memorable.
