Opening in May 2026, ANNUA Signature Hotels proudly announces the forthcoming opening of Gran Hotel Margalida, the brand’s fifth and most eagerly anticipated Mediterranean destination to date. Following the celebrated openings of César Lanzarote, Son Xotano in Mallorca, and Amagatay and Morvedra Nou in Menorca, Gran Hotel Margalida marks a new chapter for ANNUA shaped by cinematic design, elemental beauty and immersive, slow-paced luxury.
Set in the cliffside village of Banyalbufar, where the Serra de Tramuntana reaches the sea, Gran Hotel Margalida settles naturally into Mallorca’s terraced west coast. Spanish architect Alvaro Onieva and interior designer Virginia Nieto have reimagined the historic building with a quiet contemporary sensibility that honours its original character while introducing a brighter, more fluid Mediterranean identity.
Natural textures, local materials and thoughtful detailing define the interior world, while a soft, sun-washed yellow created specifically for the hotel brings warmth and cohesion to the spaces. With only twenty-nine ocean-facing rooms, each shaped to capture the island’s shifting light and unhurried rhythm, the hotel offers an intimate retreat centred on atmosphere and connection.
Banyalbufar itself is one of the Mediterranean’s most distinctive enclaves: terraced vineyards, cliffside paths and a golden evening light that seems to reorder the landscape daily. For many, it represents the purest expression of Mallorca; for others, it becomes an unforgettable first encounter with the island’s quieter west.
Wellbeing: ANNUA’s First Full Spa
A sanctuary for reconnecting with body and light in a serene, contemplative atmosphere, Gran Hotel Margalida will debut ANNUA’s first fully integrated wellness concept. The spa includes independent treatment rooms and advanced therapies, a movement space equipped with Technogym machines and Pilates Reformer, and an outdoor yoga platform oriented towards the Mediterranean.
Gastronomy: Mallorca Reimagined with Sensibility
Gastronomy is guided by ANNUA’s philosophy of seasonality and local integrity. The gastronomic restaurant occupies an elevated position with sweeping sea views and offers a contemporary interpretation of Mallorcan cuisine, particularly at sunset. A French-inspired oyster and raw bar serves freshly shucked oysters, raw seafood and citrus-led pairings, while the poolside restaurant evokes a relaxed Mediterranean lounge shaped by light, sea and unhurried afternoons.
Events and Celebrations
With expansive terraces, shaded courtyards and panoramic views of the coastline, the hotel is poised to become an exceptional venue for weddings of up to one hundred and fifty guests, as well as private celebrations and creative gatherings seeking a distinctly Mediterranean backdrop. Each event is crafted to reflect ANNUA’s ethos of aesthetics, silence and refined contemplation.
Experiences as Scenes
Experiences at Gran Hotel Margalida are designed as cinematic moments connected to the landscape and cultural rhythm of Mallorca. Guests are invited to enjoy private sunset sailings, guided walks along the Serra de Tramuntana, gourmet picnics among Malvasía vineyards, open-air cinema nights, local craft workshops and access to hidden coves by private boat.
Created for travellers seeking privacy, meaningful connection to place and a quietly luxurious experience, Gran Hotel Margalida will continue ANNUA’s philosophy of refined simplicity and design rooted in the Mediterranean. It will join the brand’s growing collection across Mallorca, Menorca and Lanzarote.
