Framed by the Tramuntana Mountains and the Mediterranean sea, the location sets this refined resort firmly apart from the real world. As does the hugely pampering spa – it’s one of the largest on the island and melds Chinese medicine with natural methods to restore energy – ideal if you’ve been feeling burned out of late. When looking to recharge batteries as a family, the obvious draws are the rolling lawns wide enough to cartwheel across, the merrymaking kids’ club and the shaded children’s pools for splashing in.

Appetites are effortlessly awakened too, whether at Michelin-starred Es Fum (no little ones getting left behind here, the chef happily adapts the menu for younger taste buds), farm-to-table Terra Restaurant, the Sunday lobster brunches in the gardens, or the delicate tapas. Other signature traditions unique to St. Regis are, however, reserved for just the grown-ups – among them, champagne opened using the art of sabrage and the Mallorca version of the famous Bloody Mary cocktail born at The St. Regis New York.
