A 19th-century villa converted into a hotel, the Bahia
occupies a terrific waterfront spot along Pollenca's pine-shaded esplanade. A top-to-toe
makeover in 2013 has spruced up the rooms, with splashes of blue and turquoise; the best

peaceful but close to the action - is perfect.

Ever since this ritzy hotel
opened its doors in 1929, Hotel Formentor has been a Mallorca classic. The beachfront
digs have played host to the likes of Grace Kelly, Winston Churchill, Mikhail Gorbachev,
John Wayne and the Dalai Lama. Rooms are pleasing without being the latest in grand
luxury, and the seaside doubles and suites are a taste of paradise.
Tennis courts, pools and flowery garden walkways aside, the hotel is so popular be-
cause of its location - it has the fabulous Formentor beach all to itself.
