He continues to delve into the culinary memory and recipes of the island, focusing on seasonal products at their peak. Chef Santi Taura, the recipient of two Repsol Suns and a Michelin Star in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 guide, has arrived in Cala Sant Vicenç to head up the entire gastronomic offerings at the new hotel.

Ç Wellness Studio will feature a 13-meter-long heated pool that connects the indoor and outdoor area of the spa. The gym is open 24 hours and is equipped with the latest fitness technology.

"The concept is to replicate the same 5-star boutique hotel service and quality that travelers have grown to love at El Llorenç in a luxurious beach setting, says Ruben Zamora, General Director, Mallorca Ç Collection. "The beauty of the location is that guests can enjoy any number of activities in the area, no matter the season."

Activities in the Region

This dramatic setting is literally steps from the hotel

Originally a small fishing village the town is built on a hillside, so the area is perfect for vigorous walks and spectacular hiking trails. Cap Formentor is one of most popular and picturesque cycling routes where you follow a very winding road that brings you to the lighthouse. This route is considered by many as a 'must do' if you are a serious cycler and professional cyclists consider Mallorca the best place to train in the winter.

Additionally, snorkeling and scuba diving are particularly popular. Divers will find the remains of sunken ships from all eras - from the ancient Greeks to the 20th century. The area also boasts some extraordinary caves or hypogeum that date back to Bronze age and it is said that they are the most spectacular on the island. Mountain climbing has become very popular as well in the region. Bird lovers will enjoy the amazing variety as this is also an important migration stop for them.

History

During the 50s and 60s, Cala Sant Vicenç had a golden age - its incredible beaches and secret coves moved thousands of tourists from all over the world. In those decades it was when people began to travel for pleasure and leisure to Spain, especially to the Balearic Islands due to its great beauty. Cala Sant Vicenç was the location for some of the most luxurious hotels in that time, since it has four coves with a lot of charm and crystal-clear waters that are found in few places. The “Cala”, so called by the locals of Pollença, was visited by artists, Hollywood, actors and actresses, politicians and royalty, wanted to know the hidden mysterious beauty of this unique place. As trends change, it lost its appeal, but it never lost its beauty. In recent years we have seen a resurgence in interest in one of the most beautiful places in Mallorca. The owners of this project are residents of Pollença and the most important concept of this amazing project is the personal tribute to this jewel of Majorca and a return to the value that Cala San Vicenç deserves.
