Situated in the Mediterranean lies the island of Majorca. Its capital, Palma, now houses one of the newest and most elegant hotels in the world: Palma Riad, in the heart of the city, serves as a sanctuary to adults seeking peace, luxury and culture.
Based on the concept of a tradition Riad — where private rooms surround an open interior courtyard — Palma Riad takes this idea and elevates it further. The hotel’s courtyard sits just past reception and marks the beginning of guests’ journeys. The hotel incorporates designs and details paying homage to the island’s medieval Arabic history.
With 11 exclusive suites, Palma Riad extends its focus on privacy by making each suite different. In fact, 11 different interior design projects worked together to create independent and unique suites, providing different experiences for each guest in each suite. Original elements of the building remain, including coffered ceilings, doors and windows. Rooms and public spaces display collections of art, antiques and designed wallpaper. Tiled bathrooms and Moroccan hammams feature in most rooms, along with giant bathtubs and double showers. Some suites defy the space they occupy with unique layouts. Many rooms include fireplaces and terraces, with some fireplaces even located in bathrooms.
Palma Riad’s on-site restaurant, Morokko Bar and Restaurant, fuses different cuisines for a memorable dining experience. Dishes combine ingredients and flavors of the Mediterranean, from Spain to Morocco, with a touch of Asiatic flair. Menu items include vegan Nikkei tomato with avocado ceviche; grilled tuna belly with couscous; and crepes suzette with triple sec and orange. The restaurant also expects to add sushi to its menu in the near future. Signature cocktails accompany great dishes. Guests can also choose from a selection of wine, cava and Champagne. Special cocktails include the Tramontana, a concoction featuring Palo, a Mallorcan liqueur; ginger beer; lime; and peppermint.
Outside the suites and restaurant, Palma Riad invites guests to visit its solarium. Mallorca sees more than 300 days of sunshine each year, and the hotel’s solarium with sun loungers provides private space for guests to soak up the sun.

Mar 28, 2024Cruise Lines Elevate the Onboard Fine-Dining Experience
It’s been a long time since the food on cruise ships resembled the bland, uninspired fare that gave onboard dining a bad name. These days, cruise passengers can look forward to menus created by Michelin-starred chefs made with top-quality ingredients served in stunning spaces. Choices abound as well. In addition to elegant main dining rooms, cruise ships have created a huge array of specialty restaurants that focus not only on perfectly executed traditional European and North American dishes but flavors and experiences from around the globe as well. In fact, meals served aboard cruise vessels have gotten so good, they’re drawing passengers onto ships: According to a recent report by luxury travel planning network Virtuoso, advisors report after Europe (specifically Italy and France), the No. 2 dining destination for travelers is aboard an ocean or river cruise. “This shows how cruise lines have really stepped up their culinary game, with consulting chefs and new restaurants and making that a focal point,” said Misty Belles, vice president, Global Public Relations, Virtuoso.
