The beauty of travelling to Mallorca begins with the quick-and-easy 2.5hour flight. Even in late-October, sunshine embraced me the moment I stepped off the plane – 26 degrees of bliss. My short transfer from the airport was arranged through the hotel’s concierge, escorting me safely to the boutique resort located in Santa Ponça. The hotel’s signature scent, lighting and soothing colour palette worked in harmony to set the tone of the stay – serene and tranquil. Kimpton allows you to discover the artistic soul of Mallorca. The walls are lined with beautiful artwork, some of which are available to buy. With just 79 rooms, the boutique hotel feels intimate. From my balcony, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, my view overlooked the lush gardens and pool. I loved discovering secluded hideaways, a hammock for two here, a tucked-away daybed there – perfect for those quiet moments shared with your love. At Kimpton Aysla, there’s an emphasis on wellness. The magnificent spa offers exclusive treatments using Codage Paris products. Spanning two floors, the facility features a generous indoor pool and a vitality pool, sauna, steam room, salt cave, mud bathroom as well as a pedicure, and manicure salon. It’s a place to recharge and unwind, perfect for pre- or post-wedding relaxation. SOCIAL HOUR The hotel invites guests to connect through their signature Kimpton Social Hour, which takes place each evening at 5pm, encouraging new connections. It’s the perfect opportunity to unwind with a glass of wine with other guests. Whether you attend daily or not at all, it’s an invitation from the hotel to offer a warm and sociable atmosphere. BE WINED & DINED Saba Restaurant provides a dining experience that blends Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. The open kitchen offers a front-row view of chefs preparing fresh sushi, grilling meats, and searing seafood over open flames, all while showcasing Korean and Japanese techniques using local ingredients. A favourite of mine was the black cod marinated in miso with red cabbage salad. The following evening, the Josper-grilled Wagyu with hoisin sauce, cured egg yolk and spring onion truly took centre stage. Zayt Pool Club is the casual yet sophisticated poolside restaurant, where you can enjoy Mediterranean bites in a relaxed, sun-soaked setting. Indulge in vibrant poke bowls and wood-fired pizzas. Perfect with a cool cocktail. For newlyweds seeking style, soul, and a sense of place, this boutique gem is Mallorca at its finest.
