Mallorca at Formentor
Mallorca, Spain

Some places have a way of drawing remarkable people to them. For nearly a century, Formentor has been one of those places.

Tucked away on Mallorca's spectacular northern peninsula, this legendary retreat has welcomed writers, artists, royalty and world leaders since first opening its doors in 1929. Today, under the stewardship of Four Seasons, a new chapter unfolds, one that honours the property's remarkable heritage while bringing a fresh sense of contemporary luxury to one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated addresses.

Surrounded by a vast private estate and embraced by the dramatic landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana, the resort feels wonderfully connected to nature. Towering pines provide shade from the Mallorcan sun, while a long stretch of golden beach meets crystal-clear waters that invite leisurely swims, paddleboarding and quiet afternoons by the sea.

Generations of notable guests have come here seeking inspiration, drawn by the unique beauty of the peninsula and the peaceful atmosphere that continues to define Formentor today.
