Majorca

- Luxurious boutique hotel
- Stylish & contemporary rooms
- Fantastic beachfront location
Set on the beach, the glass-fronted Gran Sol is an oasis of style and luxury.
A hotel with beachside chic, the Gran Sol is a real one-off. Firstly, you couldn’t ask for a better setting. It’s just inches from Cala Bona’s bright-white sands. In fact, the only thing separating them is a tiny pathway through manicured lawns. Not only that, you’re right in the heart of the resort here, with shops, bars and restaurants a mere stroll away.
Secondly, it’s got the looks. It’s a white, Spanish-style building - but that’s where the Balearic comparisons finish. With its contemporary glass front, it stands out from the crowd even from a distance. And on closer inspection, the gardens dotted with palms and cushioned wicker chairs confirm its status as a boutique bolthole. You’ll also find the swimming pool here, a smart spot wrapped in smart decking.
Inside, the big talking point is the bedrooms. Minimalist sanctuaries, they combine sleek wood floors with cool white linens and walls. Plus they feature 21st-century gadgets like flatscreen TVs. And whether you go for a standard room or upgrade to a plush suite, you'll be delighted with your choice.
You’ll find the same stylish standards throughout the rest of the Gran Sol. The lobby looks more like a hip gallery than a reception area. And the same goes for the swanky restaurant which serves up Spanish and international cuisine. Add an indulgent minispa with a sauna, gym and top-floor pool, and the great location won’t mean a lot - you simply won’t want to leave.

Your guide to Cala Bona, Majorca
“Smaller and quieter than neighbouring Cala Millor, mellow Cala Bona will surround you with peaceful sandy beaches and a traditional, friendly atmosphere.”
Sun, sea and sand fans won’t have any quibbles with this delightful, traditional resort. Lying north of Cala Millor on Majorca’s scenic eastern shoreline, it’s smaller and more subdued than its colourful cousin. Unpack your bags, trail your toes in the water caressing the sands, and the laid-back atmosphere will soon overtake you, slowing you down and gradually spiriting your cares away on the waves.
Around its picturesque harbour, you’ll find narrow streets betraying its past as a simple fishing village. Wander around here before hitting the modern centre, whose traffic-free roads are flanked with bars and restaurants offering Chinese, Italian, fast food and authentic local cuisine.
And for a taste of the sea, turn tail back to the harbour, where merrily painted fishing boats still land their catches for the daily specials on quayside menus. Pull up a chair at an open-air restaurant, order a caldera de langosta, a beautiful lobster stew, and chilled wine or two and let a couple of hours pass by as you gaze out over the harbour waters.
Days at the beaches are the star attraction here though. A procession of man-made coves and longer sandy stretches parcelled up by long, rocky promontories, they’re tailor-made for carefree hours of tan-topping and paddling with the kids.
When you’re ready, swap the sands for sightseeing. The spectacular stalactites and stalagmites of the Drach Caves make an unforgettable sight. Whisk the kids to Cala Millor’s safari park or, if it’s a Friday, pop into the bustling outdoor market inland at San Servera. And at sundown, if you fancy exchanging Cala Bona’s sedate nighttimes for something more exciting, just hop in cab for Cala Millor’s vibrant bars and clubs.
