With an influx of buzzy new hotel and restaurant openings, new direct flights from the U.S. and a focus on sustainability, Mallorca, Spain shows no sign of slowing down. While peak summer months cater to those seeking a lively Mediterranean atmosphere, fall in Mallorca provides a more serene and laid-back vibe. Notable autumn events include grape harvest festivals, traditional fairs, the Mallorca International Film Festival and the Port de Sóller Classical Music Festival.
The abundance of the constantly evolving island is personified at the five-star Zafiro Palace Andratx, the crown jewel of the Mallorcan family-owned Zafiro Hotels portfolio. Resplendent in authentic island character, secluded terraces give way to sweeping views of the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountains and white sand beaches. Just a short stroll away from the serene seaside village of Camp de Mar and a quick drive from the lively harbor town of Port d’Andratx, the resort is the perfect destination for a fall getaway.
A variety of restaurants to suit every taste, gorgeous garden and skyscape pools, a luxurious spa and wellness center and bespoke amenities bring the splendor of the island into the grounds of the hotel. Zafiro Palace Andratx’s 304 generously sized suites are resplendent in authentic Mallorcan character and adorned with locally sourced décor. Standout artwork is from female-owned ABA ART and take-home vanity cases are designed by Teixits Vicens. Each suite is appointed with a private pool or hydro-massage bathtub and a secluded terrace offering unrivaled views.
Designed for guests seeking access to over-the-top service and enhanced amenities, the new Zafiro Club Suites – debuted in 2024 – showcases the very best that the hotel has to offer. Guests who book a Zafiro Club Suite receive exclusive access to a private pool and bar area, Jo Loves in-room amenities (created by Jo Malone), daily fresh flowers, a personalized concierge service, massage for two, romantic dinner, and more. In addition, the resort unveiled one of the first luxury all-inclusive options on the island last season with its All-Inclusive Redefined package.
Hotel guests can now book a sustainable excursion on a 100% electric-powered llaut, the traditional boat of the Balearic Islands. Available exclusively for Zafiro guests, the experience consists of a trip for up to 6 people along the southwest coast of Mallorca, with opportunities for water activities such as SUP and underwater scooters, as well as onboard food and drinks featuring locally sourced products. This innovative and sustainable experience causes no emissions, has no carbon footprint, and causes no stress to local marine wildlife.
As Mallorca continues to blend luxury with sustainability, visitors have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in both cultural events and eco-friendly experiences. Whether indulging in the island’s culinary delights or exploring its pristine waters on a zero-emission boat, Mallorca offers a perfect balance of relaxation and responsible tourism. The resort is open through early November and now is the ideal time to experience this Mediterranean gem.
