Spain: ANNUA Signature Hotels has opened Gran Hotel Margalida in Mallorca, the brand’s fifth destination.
The company says Gran Hotel Margalida marks a new chapter for ANNUA “shaped by cinematic design, elemental beauty and immersive, slow-paced luxury”.
Set in the cliffside village of Banyalbufar, where the Serra de Tramuntana meets the Mediterranean Sea, Gran Hotel Margalida “settles naturally into Mallorca’s terraced west coast, overlooking the water from one of the island’s most dramatic and unspoilt settings”.
The opening features the brand’s first fully integrated spa and wellness concept alongside ocean-facing dining venues celebrating contemporary Mallorcan flavours, expansive terraces for weddings and events, and a curated programme of experiences designed to connect guests with the culture and beauty of the island.
Reimagined by interior designer Virginia Nieto, alongside Spanish architects Alvaro Onieva and Alvaro Mesonero Romanos, the historic property has been carefully restored to honour its heritage while introducing a softer, contemporary Mediterranean identity.
Natural textures, local materials and clean architectural lines define the interiors, while a bespoke sun-washed yellow, created exclusively for the hotel, brings warmth and cohesion throughout.
With 29 sea-view rooms and suites, Mallorcan fabrics and materials appear throughout the guest rooms and public spaces.
Experiences at Gran Hotel Margalida are designed as “cinematic moments connected to the landscape and cultural rhythm of Mallorca”. Guests are invited to take a voyage on private sailing and sunset tours, guided walks along the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, sample olive oil tasting at the historic neighbouring olive grove of Son Moragues (a 500 year old estate), enjoy gourmet picnics among the local vineyards, screen open-air cinema nights from Margalida’s swimming pool, or take part in artisan craft workshops such as pottery, ceramics, painting, and leatherwork with local craftspeople.
