The Zafiro chain has opened two new hotels in Mallorca: Zafiro Palace Andratx, by the sea in Camp de Mar, and Son Sabater by Zafiro, a restored estate inland. Both focus on sustainability and authentic experiences.
The hotel chain Zafiro has launched two new establishments in Mallorca that represent two ways of experiencing the island: one by the Mediterranean and the other in the heart of the Mallorcan countryside. These are the Zafiro Palace Andratx, located on the coast of Camp de Mar, and Son Sabater by Zafiro, a restored ancient estate inland. Both hotels open their doors this season with a clear commitment to sustainable tourism and local experiences.
The Zafiro Palace Andratx is nestled between the coast of Camp de Mar and the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site. From its terraces and pools, some of the best views of the Mediterranean can be enjoyed. Its spacious suites, many with private pools or direct access to the water, are designed for those seeking privacy and comfort without sacrificing the landscape.
Sustainable activities on the coast
But the experience goes beyond accommodation. One of the most unique activities offered by the surroundings is to explore the coast on a traditional electric llaüt, a silent boat that allows navigation between small coves and rock formations that are virtually inaccessible by land. The trip offers a different perspective of the Mallorcan coast and highlights the island's growing commitment to more sustainable tourism options.
It is also possible to explore the surroundings on electric scooters until reaching Puerto de Andratx, one of the most elegant spots in Mallorca, where recreational boats, seaside restaurants, and a tranquil atmosphere that retains part of the area's maritime essence coexist.
For the residents of Andratx and tourists staying in the area, this offer represents an opportunity to enjoy the coast without acoustic or environmental impact, something that visitors increasingly value.
Farm-to-table gastronomy
Gastronomy plays a prominent role in the experience at Zafiro Palace Andratx. The establishment has developed a culinary proposal that combines Mediterranean cuisine, international influences, and local produce. The various dining spaces allow for an authentic culinary journey without leaving the hotel. From Asian proposals to restaurants specializing in contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, the offer is designed for those who consider gastronomy a fundamental part of any trip.
The surroundings also invite guests to discover the culinary richness of the island. Mallorca is experiencing one of its best gastronomic moments thanks to a generation of chefs and producers who have revived local varieties, traditional techniques, and proximity products. Guests can participate in cooking workshops or visit local markets to learn firsthand about the ingredients from the land.
Additionally, the hotel organizes trips to Palma, just a 20-minute drive away. The Balearic capital offers its historic centre, the Cathedral of Mallorca, and neighbourhoods like La Lonja or Santa Catalina, where a vibrant cultural and gastronomic offer is concentrated.
A calm retreat inland
If the coast represents the most well-known face of the island, the interior retains a much quieter Mallorca, closely tied to its roots. It is here that Son Sabater by Zafiro is located, a carefully restored historic estate transformed into a boutique hotel surrounded by nature. The ancient Mallorcan estate maintains the island's traditional architecture, with natural stone, green shutters, and spacious open areas that engage with the surrounding agricultural landscape.
With only 12 rooms and 3 villas, Son Sabater focuses on a truly intimate and personalized experience. The gardens, pool, and relaxation areas allow guests to enjoy the surroundings without crowds. Luxury here takes on a different form: it is not measured by spectacularity, but by tranquility, privacy, and direct contact with the environment.
For residents of nearby municipalities, such as Algaida or Montuïri, the opening of Son Sabater represents a tourist boost in a traditionally agricultural area, with the potential to attract visitors seeking a more authentic experience.
Wellness is also a key feature in both hotels. At Zafiro Palace Andratx, the Opal Spa & Wellness offers treatments, sauna, Turkish bath, and heated pool in an environment designed for disconnection. The combination of sea, mountains, and spaces dedicated to personal care responds to an increasingly present trend in luxury tourism: to travel for rest, but also to regain time and balance.
Both hotels are already operational and accepting bookings for the 2026 season. Prices vary depending on the season and type of accommodation, with special packages that include sustainable activities and gastronomic experiences. The Zafiro chain expects these two establishments to become a benchmark for responsible tourism on the island.
