This family-friendly resort – the newest hotel in the Ikos brand – offers complete luxury in a peaceful location with a strong emphasis on making life as easy as possible for parents and fun for kids.
Location
This vast, uber chic resort – around an hour’s drive from Palma de Mallorca Airport – is nestled between two sandy coves on the southeast coast of Mallorca and boasts breathtaking sea views from almost every spot.

The resort’s decor is sleek and simple, characterised by earthy tones, while huge glass windows and doors welcome an abundance of natural light and stunning seascapes.
Outside, the walkways are flanked by pine trees, olive trees and fragrant flowers. The bars – many decked out in bamboo and leafy plants – have the feel of a cool Ibizan beach club, with the soundtrack to match.
