Trendy boutique with a touch of Hollywood flair
Owned by successful German actor, Til Schweiger (Google him!), Barefoot Hotel Mallorca is a chic five-star boutique that puts a big emphasis on laid-back charm. The location’s no slouch, either, as it’s perfectly pitched in the quaint port town of Portocolom on the east coast of Mallorca.
“Quiet and chilled” is what you can expect from the atmosphere around here. Whether you’re relaxing by the outdoor pool with an ice-cold cocktail courtesy of the nearby bar or taking part in one of the weekly yoga sessions. For even more relaxation, head to the onsite spa, which has a Finnish sauna, Turkish hammam, indoor pool, and a treatment room where you can grab a top-to-toe massage.
Barefoot restaurant, meanwhile, is situated right on Portocolom’s postcard-pretty bay and specialises in international cuisine with a decidedly modern twist. Breakfast here is particularly memorable, with a wide range of regional dishes and delicacies to enjoy while you sit by the pool. There’s a variety of top-notch restaurants along the coastline, too, if you feel like heading out at mealtimes.

Find out more about Porto Colom
Many resorts in this part of the world were fishing villages once upon a time, but Majorcan gem Porto Colom beats them all with its still-working harbour, dotted with fishing vessels and lined with pastel-coloured houses. The large, sheltered bay, bustling quayside draped with nets and 19th-century lighthouse retain enough traditional charm and waterborne action to keep you hooked.
