Cap Rocat – The Sanctuary of Silence

If you’re looking for an aesthetic retreat with a difference, you need to head to the historic Cap Rocat. 

A hotel steeped in history and culture

The serene hotel is the perfect place to calm your mind and treat your eyes to some true majestic beauty. The striking architectural style of the fortress and surrounding natural beauty genuinely make you feel like you’ve just stumbled across heaven on earth.

Located in a 19th century fortress in Cala Blava, Cap Rocat was originally built for military defence. The hotel is carved out of sandstone, with the original drawbridge and bunkers adding to the dramatic effect.

Paying respect to the natural world

Sustainability and ecotourism are huge travelling trends at the moment, with modern travellers aiming to put the environment first and reduce the impact of their actions. 

Nestled in incredible natural beauty, Cap Rocat places importance on sustainability and ecological impact. Its commitment to the environment and the ecological heritage of Mallorca gives extra value to the concept.

Surrounded by the Protected Natural Area, the hotel has access to the waters of the marine reserve of the Bay of Palma. The reserve is known for its amazing biodiversity and specifically for Posidonia, an underwater plant fundamental for the oxygenation of the sea.

If you’re an avid birdspotter or just love to feel immersed in the local wildlife, the hotel is also a Special Protection Area of Birds (SPA). Cap Rocat also happens to be an 100% plastic-free destination, and all of the onsite food products are KM0.

If you also want to support the ecosystem during your travels, here are some associations for the marine conservation of the Balearic Islands: Ondine and Save the Med Foundation.

The integrity of their values makes Cap Rocat a rare oasis where guests can lie back and enjoy the most precious thing we have: time. When staying at Cap Rocat, you don’t have to compromise luxury for your values – they seamlessly blend the finer things in life with their sustainable ethos.

A holistic break for the body and soul

Another ingredient that makes the hotel a temple of true escapism is silence (something that can feel hard to find these days!). This conscious choice allows guests to thoroughly relax their minds, empty out any worries or anxieties and feel truly connected to the natural rhythm of the world.

Practice daily meditation? If you’re all about that wellness lifestyle, every room has a small private garden space perfect for your daily practice, a slow yoga session or simply sitting back and admiring the sun.

All you need to do when you arrive at Cap Rocat is take a deep breath, release any tension and lean into honoring yourself and everything around you.

The hotel ensures that guests are constantly in touch with the four elements – water (the sparkling sea), air (the beautiful sky and fresh ocean breeze), earth (natural rock formations) and fire (flickering candles placed around the building). 

This holistic lifestyle approach extends to the onsite spa.

All of the available body treatments are created to take you on a sensorial wellness voyage.

From the Hammam to the Ayurvedic massages, passing through the powerful Asian techniques to restore your inner balance.

Between the fortress walls, you can also find a majestic indoor swimming pool filled with fresh sea water to refresh and invigorate. 

Admire local art and design

Fancy taking in some art and culture on your travels? Up in the sky, you’ll find Moving Spheres: an art installation made by the architect Antonio Obrador.

Obrador is also responsible for the interior of the entire hotel, so you can immerse yourself in his beautiful design style throughout your stay. Based in Mallorca, Obrador preserved the essence of the fortress and created a space where the aesthetic and the natural world are completely in alignment.

Cap Rocat reflects the new generation of the hôtellerie – sustainable, respectful of the natural environment, and providing an unparalleled sensorial experience that fulfils both body and mind.

If you’re on the hunt for a photographer’s haven, make sure you pay a visit to this aesthetic temple. The hotel setting and breathtaking surroundings make for some incredible content, so make sure you take plenty of photographs and videos to remember your journey. As well as being a tranquil retreat, it’s also a content creation heaven – so while you’re there, find the balance between snapping photos and immersing yourself in all the beauty.

Enjoy!

Only good vibes!
