Winter on this island is the island’s best-kept secret. Empty coastal paths, low gold light, sea air with nobody in it. Three nights, two treatments each, breakfast, lunch, and absolutely nothing you’re obliged to do. Your body will forgive you eventually.
Two nights is a commute. Three is a reset. Breakfast every morning, lunch every afternoon, and the rest of the day left deliberately, gloriously empty.
A Signature treatment and an Antioxidant Facial, each. Not one to share, not one per room. Each of you. We checked, it’s correct.
Ten treatment cabins and a menu of rituals built for the season your skin likes least. Winter takes; the spa gives some of it back.
Three nights. Breakfast and lunch. One Signature treatment and one Antioxidant Facial per person. The full thing, no small print performing gymnastics at the bottom of the page.
The Donna Portals is a 5-star boutique hotel in Portals Nous, designed by Marcel Wanders and built for people who find conventional luxury a little boring. In winter the island quiets down and the hotel doesn’t. The Winter Wellness Package pairs three nights with two spa treatments per person, breakfast, and lunch, so the only decision left is which sea view you take them in.
Portals Nous sits minutes from Palma and steps from the water. In January the Serra de Tramuntana is at its most dramatic, the coastal walks are yours alone, and the restaurant terraces still catch the sun. Come for the treatments. Stay because nobody’s here.
Between treatments: the Tramuntana on foot, Palma Cathedral without the queue, Portals’ marina in its off-duty state, and a long lunch you don’t have to rush. Golf and tennis are close by, the sea is bracing and honest, and the sofa is always an acceptable answer.
