The best five-star hotels in Majorca

At Can Bordoy, the five-star treatment is there from the get-go: guests are greeted like long lost friends, offered a welcome drink in the cosy, faux ivy-clad parlour and kickback as their luggage is whisked upstairs to be unpacked by a butler. The hotel itself is a delightful fusion of old and new, with ultra modern and quirky lighting brushing shoulders with gothic pillars, baroque gilt mirrors, dramatic furnishings and comfy sofas. In fact it has the feel of a serene and comfortable English country house, the pièce de résistance being its mature, residents-only walled garden – the largest in Palma – which includes a heated pool, whirlpool and solarium, shielded by foliage. There’s also a well-equipped spa offering exclusive products and beauty treatments by Swiss Perfection.
