The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Mallorca

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Mel

Served daily from 7:30 to 11:00 am at Mel, the indoor-outdoor Mediterranean restaurant. Four Seasons sells breakfast as a separate Bed and Breakfast rate, so the standard rate does not include it.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay for dining or the spa. It covers a good part of a seafood lunch at Llum i Sal on the sand, or goes towards a Biologique Recherche facial.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. The step worth having is from a Pine-View to a Sea-View Room, which is the same 40 sq m but looks straight across the bay.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Short flights from Madrid or Barcelona land well before 3:00 pm, so we ask for the room to be ready on arrival.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We pass on your number plate for the peninsula road, children's ages, Shima dinners to hold and celebrations.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

The benefits apply on top of the resort's own offers, which in 2026 include Advance Purchase at up to 20 percent off, 15 percent off for two nights or more, and a Golf Escape with a round at Alcanada.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Mallorca

All 110 keys face the front of the building towards the bay, each with a furnished terrace. The difference between categories is mainly the view: pines, garden or open sea.

The room to book

Sea-View Room

40 sq m (431 sq ft) with king or twin beds and a terrace facing the water. Reviewers say the unbroken sea view matters more here than size or a plunge pool.

A private pool

Garden-View Room with Plunge Pool

49 sq m (527 sq ft) on the garden level, with a plunge pool and loungers on the terrace and a sofabed for a child. The view is of the gardens and pines rather than the sea.

Light and space

Formentor Suite

102 sq m (1,098 sq ft) on the top floor, with window walls that slide back onto a sea-view terrace, a separate lounge and dining area. It feels more open than the larger Royal Suite.

Families

Two-Bedroom Garden-View Suite with Plunge Pool

130 to 146 sq m (1,399 to 1,572 sq ft), sleeping five adults or two adults and three children, with a plunge pool. The Three-Bedroom Royal Suite, 206 sq m (2,217 sq ft), is the largest.

The Royal, Formentor and other Specialty Suites include round-trip airport transfers, a private pool cabana and front-row loungers on the beach.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Mallorca

01

Register your car before you arrive

From 15 May to 18 October, private cars need authorisation to drive the Formentor road between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm. Send us the number plate of a rental or transfer car and the resort registers it.

02

Consider arriving by boat

The resort can collect you by private boat from Port de Pollença, as guests did before the road existed. It skips the winding cliff road, which cyclists often have to themselves.

03

The beach is public

Formentor Beach is a public Blue Flag beach, and summer weekends bring day visitors. The resort's loungers have staff service, but for the quietest stretch go before lunch or on weekdays.

04

Change dinner plans a day ahead

Mel and Shima take outside guests and charge for changes made less than 24 hours ahead: €50 per person at Mel and €30 at Shima. Plan restaurant nights before you arrive.

05

Late October is the wind-down

The season tails off before closing. In 2026 Llum i Sal served its last lunch on 18 October and then only snacks. For a full stay with every outlet open, travel by mid-October.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Mallorca

Executive Chef Francesco Mannelli oversees the menus, with produce from the island and wine from the resort's own vineyard. In-room dining runs 24 hours.

Mediterranean, all day

Mel

Farm-to-table cooking such as Mallorcan suckling pig, Sóller red prawns and local lamb, inside or on the terrace. Breakfast 7:30 to 11:00 am and dinner 6:30 to 10:30 pm; smart casual.

Nikkei, the signature

Shima

Japanese-Peruvian cooking on a sea-view terrace, with an omakase, a vegetarian omakase and à la carte dishes such as black cod with miso. Dinner 6:30 to 10:30 pm, about two hours.

On the beach

Llum i Sal

Fish from Pollença Bay fishermen, red tuna belly and rice dishes to share, on Formentor Beach. Lunch 12:30 to 4:30 pm; it added dinner from mid-May in 2026.

Lobby bar

Cercle

A circular bar with a sea-view terrace, open 11:00 am to 1:00 am. Live music Tuesday, Friday and Sunday evenings, and cocktail masterclasses for up to eight people.

On Property

Beach, pools and spa at Four Seasons Mallorca

A stone staircase leads down from the gardens to more than a kilometre of sand under the pines.

01

Formentor Beach

The resort's loungers sit on a 1 km (0.6 mile) stretch of sand shaded by pines, with clear water. Snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing are offered for a fee, all non-motorised.

02

Pools

A large family pool, an adults-only infinity pool and a children's pool on a terrace above the sea, with towels, water and snacks brought round. Quiosc serves lunch there from 12:30 to 5:00 pm.

03

The Spa

Refurbished for 2026, with seven treatment rooms, Biologique Recherche facials, a vitality pool, sauna and cold plunge. Facilities open 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, treatments from 11:00 am; the gym is open 24 hours.

04

Kids For All Seasons

Free, daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with treasure hunts and beach activities, plus a teen centre. Babysitting is available, and children 18 and under stay free in their parents' room.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Mallorca

The resort follows Mallorca's season, and the tourist tax and road rules change with it.

March to May
Green hills and the best cycling and hiking weather. The sea is cool until late May, and the beach restaurant opens in May.
June to August
Hot, with warm sea and the busiest beach. Rates and demand peak, so book plunge-pool rooms and suites early and expect the peninsula road restrictions.
September to October
The sea stays warm and the crowds thin. The road restrictions end on 18 October, but outlets close one by one through late October.
Travel

Getting to Four Seasons Mallorca

The resort sits on Formentor Beach near the northern tip of the island, reached by the cliff road from Port de Pollença.

From Palma de Mallorca (PMI)
The island airport has direct flights from across Europe, including short hops from Madrid and Barcelona. The concierge arranges car transfers, and Specialty Suites include them.
By sea from Port de Pollença
A private boat crosses the bay from Port de Pollença to the resort's dock. It avoids the summer road restrictions.
Good to Know

Four Seasons Mallorca FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor?

The best way to book Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Mallorca in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Mel, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. The benefits combine with the resort's own offers, such as Advance Purchase.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Mallorca?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Mallorca. FHR also offers noon check-in when available and guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Virtuoso advisors can book Four Seasons Mallorca with the same core benefits, but Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own in-house program, and its bookings get higher priority for upgrades and recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme.

Is Four Seasons Mallorca the old Hotel Formentor?

Yes. It stands on the site of Hotel Formentor, which opened in 1929 and hosted guests such as Winston Churchill and Grace Kelly. The main building was rebuilt in a style close to the original, with fewer, larger rooms, and reopened as Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor in August 2024.

Can you drive to Four Seasons Mallorca in summer?

Yes, with authorisation. From 15 May to 18 October local authorities restrict private cars on the Formentor peninsula between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm. Guests give the resort their number plate in advance so it can register the car, and parking is free. A boat from Port de Pollença avoids the road altogether.

Is Four Seasons Mallorca open in winter?

No. The resort is seasonal and closes over the winter. The 2026 season opened on 18 March, and the beach restaurant's lunch service ended on 18 October. The 2027 reopening date has not been published, so we confirm dates before quoting March or late-October stays.

Is Four Seasons Mallorca good for families?

Yes. Formentor Beach is a short walk down from the gardens, and there is a family pool and a children's pool alongside the adults-only infinity pool. Kids For All Seasons is free daily, there is a teen centre, and the two- and three-bedroom suites suit larger families.

Does it cost more to book Four Seasons Mallorca through Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.

Can Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits be added to a Four Seasons Mallorca booking I have already made?

Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
