Whether it’s an ancient monastery, a historic estate, or a mountain refuge, they all share the same essence: luxury, nature, and tranquility in perfect harmony—the ideal place to escape from it all. Awarded Best Getaway Hotel at the Condé Nast Awards 2023, La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel (Deiá, Mallorca) blends history, nature, and tranquility and has become one of the island’s most coveted spots in which to disconnect.

The experience culminates at the Tierra restaurant, where chef Jesús Hernández reinvents tradition using products from the estate itself. Lodge Ski & Spa (Sierra Nevada, Granada). This hotel combines alpine luxury with Spanish rural charm. Its direct access to the slopes makes it the perfect base for ski lovers, while its spa features indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, and relaxing treatments to restore the body after a day in the snow. With cozy spaces, a top-level gastronomic offering, and impeccable service, it’s a real dream come true.
