Slated for a summer 2023 opening, Mallorca will be the first outpost for the ZEL brand, which has been conceived between Meliá Hotels and world champion tennis player Rafael Nadal. The ZEL Mallorca will be located along a stretch of white beach, while near the capital city of Palma. The five-star property will be a true celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle, connecting guests with nature, highlighting local cuisine and showcasing the region’s architecture. The hotel will have a central patio that flows to the terraces, rooftop, and beach club. The biophilic design incorporates Mediterranean charm and character to give the feel of a home away from home. 165 rooms, including 21 suites, will offer sea vistas, adorned with local art, and furnished with appliances from Create, giving a retro feel while maintaining the contemporary essence.
Spanish brand Beso will bring its decade of experience to the beach club-style seafront restaurant Beso Beach Mallorca. The open-air lobby will house a coffee corner from Barcelona’s famed specialty coffee brand Syra Coffee, as well as its own concept store. Wellness offerings will include personal trainers, a large gym, multifunction heated rooms, and meditation spaces. ZEL also features two pools, including an adults-only pool. To complete the experience, the offerings include fitness boot camps, food tastings, and exploring the island’s most iconic destinations on foot or by bike, with routes exclusively selected by Rafael Nadal himself.
