Passing ivy-covered exterior walls, you enter a patio through an archway that leads to the magnificent staircase with ornate wooden balustrades. High up on the roof is a small, glass pool, whose transparent floor casts delicate light effects into the interior. Enjoy delicious snacks and cocktails at the rooftop bar with a 360° panoramic view of Palma's old town and the marina - including a picturesque sunset.
The entire Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden bears the signature of the well-known Mallorcan architecture and interior design firm OHLab, which has carefully restored the former nunnery and transformed it into a kind of "private residence" with wonderfully spacious suites. Heavy velvet curtains, "princess beds" with sheets made from the finest Egyptian cotton, a hand-carved bar, private roof terraces and large, partly free-standing bathtubs make even the hearts of spoiled luxury hotel junkies beat faster!
Surprising detail: the antique mirror above the fireplace transforms into an XXL home theater at the touch of a button. However, the heart of the chic hideaway is the stunning garden with lap pool. It is considered the largest private park in the city and delights with extraordinary vegetation and rare bird species.
Surrounded by lemon and almond trees, oleanders and jacarandas, the award-winning BOTÀNIC restaurant, which resembles a sophisticated dining room inside, serves exquisite, mostly plant-based, regional and seasonal culinary works of art: a delightful treat for the palate and a truly sensual gastronomic experience - from the healthy breakfast to the dynamic lunch concept and the revolutionary candlelight dinner. On balmy summer evenings, you can sometimes even hear the house nightingale warbling alongside the softly babbling fountain.
