Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle Collection, has announced that its first resort hotel in Europe will open later this summer on the island of Mallorca.

Anchored in its Mediterranean roots, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca has been designed by local architect Guillermo Reynés and comprises 79 rooms distributed around exuberant central Majorcan-style patios. Every detail throughout the property has been carefully curated to create a tranquil environment, from the use of neutral tones and natural materials to the inclusion of bright turquoise touches seen through the soft furnishings and textiles. Rooms also feature floor-to-ceiling windows with private balconies, a rain shower, a separate bathtub and complimentary access to the hotel’s 900m² spa.

“At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we’ve spent the last few years finessing our Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio to ensure that guests can discover the right brand to suit their voyage,” says Tom Rowntree, Vice President Global Luxury Brands at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “We’re excited to welcome the Kimpton Aysla Mallorca to the Kimpton family. This opening officially establishes our resort presence in Europe, welcoming travellers to the island with Kimpton’s beloved perks, unexpected touches, and heartfelt service.”

The hotel will be home to two restaurants and two bars: Zayt Pool Kitchen & Garden Deli and Saba Restaurant, Bodega & Bar. Saba Restaurant combines locally sourced Spanish ingredients and timeless dishes often found in Southeast Asia. Among the dining room sits an open kitchen with 14 seats creating a sense of theatre, where guests can dine as they watch chefs create their take on sushi and teppanyaki. Saba Bar is situated just as guests enter the restaurant. With its indoor meets outdoor layout, visitors will be able to enjoy an aperitif all-year round as well as a selection of Spanish tapas. During the day, the bar will offer coffee, tea and sweet treats before transforming into the destination for reconnecting with friends and family over cocktails, beer on tap, and wine from the adjoining wine cellar.

Elsewhere, the hotel’s fitness and wellness activities include road cycling, morning workouts, guided meditation and yoga lessons, while there is also two outdoor pools. Both greet guests with roaming views of the landscape and easy access to Zayt Pool Kitchen & Garden Deli, where they can order fresh fish, meat or vegetables. One of the pools reflects the island’s white sand beaches, surrounded by real sand. The onsite spa, Maison Codage Paris, also has a indoor pool, mud baths, sauna, a salt cave and seven treatment rooms.

Kimpton currently has seven properties set to open in new city and resort locations around the world this year. Recent notable openings include Kimpton Margot Sydney, Kimpton St Honoré Paris and Kimpton Vividora Hotel in Barcelona. The brand is also set to make its debut in Bali this year, with more in the pipeline for Germany, Mexico, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and the Netherlands before 2027.
