Zafiro Palace Andratx has unveiled the new Mallorcan-inspired art collection that will find home inside its halls. Created by Aba Art Lab, the art speaks to Mallorca’s history, traditions and beauty.

The collection was born from a creative process that began with drawing organic shapes on two materials: paper painted with watercolours, and natural canvases made from palm plants, the material traditionally used when weaving Mallorcan-style baskets.

“Authenticity, simplicity, purity and elegance bind together soft curves, clear lines and organic textures over a luminous white,” explain Maribel and Alejandra Bordoy Bennàsar, the creatives behind the art studio. They continue to explain that the creative process “was born from inspiration provided by the elements of the surrounding landscape itself. The colours, the aromas, the textures of the forest and the sea. The grey of the cliffs, the transparency of the crystalline water, the dense green of the pine forest, the intense brown of the earth, the reddish coral of the sunsets, the misted yellow of the fields under the sun.”

When defining the artistic project, the duo knew that the intimate spaces of the suites at Zafiro Palace Andratx were the ideal place to bring their visual poems to life, with each piece bringing the spirit of the island into every suite. The range of colours used, meanwhile, serves to create an environment of calm and light.

Antonia Plomer, CEO of Zafiro Hotels comments: “At Zafiro we like to take care of the details, and we like everything to have a story to tell. So when we planned the new Zafiro Palace Andratx we carefully chose every single piece of furniture, each area, each texture, each colour. The highlight is the contemporary art collection that embellishes all the exclusive suites.”

Zafiro Palace Andratx is Zafira Hotels’ third five-star Mallorcan hotel, and is one of twelve properties in the collection.
