Hotel Bendinat Mallorca and the Balearics Luxury hotel holiday
Hotel Bendinat is a four star hotel found in the exclusive area of Bendinat, about 12km south-west of Palma de Mallorca. Separated from the sea by just a few steps carved into the golden coastline, Hotel Bendinat is a luxurious hotel ideal for those wanting a beachside location, relaxation and the option to explore nearby coastal resorts around the Bay of Palma. Whilst the hotel's own beach is rocky and offers direct access to the sea for swimming, about 500 metres along the coast the beach becomes sandy and is ideal for sun bathing. The white facade of the hotel is evocative of traditional Mallorcan mansions and its spacious grounds give a relaxing feeling of seclusion and peace. There are 54 rooms and suites which can be found in the main building of the hotel and its surrounding smaller buildings or in the large annex. In the hotel's main building, rooms are decorated in a traditional Mallorcan style with terracotta tiled floors, carved wooden beds and the occasional beamed ceiling. In contrast, the rooms in the large annex are in a modern style with pale stone floors, light wooden furniture and a neutral colour palette. Uniting both styles of accommodation is the high level of comfort and the amount of natural light which floods into each room. Terraces and balconies are a feature of every room type with views of the hotel grounds or the sea. The hotel's outdoor pool is flanked by large trees and overlooks the sea, and is ideal for relaxation. In high season, in-room massages and health and beauty treatments instead take place in private cabanas near the pool, whilst the sounds of the sea create a tranquil ambience. The hotel's large terrace reaches out to the sea and is a focal point of the hotel. Las Terrazas del Bendinat is the hotel's renowned restaurant, used for the buffet breakfast, before opening from 1pm until 11pm for lunch, light snacks and then dinner. Cuisine is based on a traditional Mediterranean menu with a number of fresh fish dishes. The hotel's bar is designed to look like a wine cellar with exposed stone, low lighting and a number of vintages on display, giving an overall appearance of a refined and intimate space. Hotel Bendinat is a relaxing and welcoming hotel in tranquil surrounds with an ideal coastal location, enjoy the peace of the surrounding areas and its close proximity to Mallorca's capital.

Hotel Bendinat Mallorca and the Balearics Luxury hotel holiday
About Mallorca and the Balearics
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza feature the best four and five star hotels on each of the islands, including prestigious hillside properties, beach hotels and boutique retreats. Lying around 100 miles from the Spanish mainland in the Mediterranean Sea is Mallorca (otherwise known as Majorca), the largest of the Balearic Islands and an incredibly popular destination for tourists. With sun, sea and sand in abundance, the island's attraction as a beach holiday destination is obvious. However, step away from the beaches and you'll find rugged mountains, picturesque rural villages, hilltop monasteries, extensive underground caves, pretty harbours and much more. The islands of Menorca and Ibiza capture the dynamic landscape of Mallorca but on a more intimate scale. Our tailor-made luxury holidays allow you to discover the very best of the Balearic Islands. In the southwest of Mallorca is Palma, a seaside city with an abundance of historical and cultural sights. Dominating the island's west coast are the Tramuntana mountains, where pretty villages sit amidst olive terraces, terraced farmland clings to steep slopes and rugged cliffs drop away to the sparkling sea. In eastern Mallorca is a smaller mountain range which gives way to sand dunes and remote beaches, whilst the unspoilt scenery of the south includes nature reserves, secluded coves and charming fishing villages. The centre of the island is home to a fertile plain, an area with ancient windmills, vineyards and sleepy market towns which offer a glimpse into Mallorca's rural traditions. With a number of interesting towns and villages, stunning beaches and a great variety in the natural scenery, the Balearics are outstanding holiday destinations with plenty of opportunities for activities as well as seaside relaxation. Many of the popular tourist resorts are in the north and west of Mallorca, but there are many places to discover in other parts of the island. The varied terrain provides excellent opportunities for cycling and hiking, with numerous trails which are suited to walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Cuitadella, in Menorca, has an enchanting old town and archaeological sites, while Mahon, the island's capital, is one of the Mediterranean's most picturesque cities. Well-known for its appeal with tourists, Ibiza is also home to a wealth of tranquil coves, lush forests, and small villages which encapsulate the Balearics' laid-back lifestyle.

Olives, almonds and citrus fruit are grown across the island, as are the grapes which are used to produce a selection of white, rosé and red wines. Local specialities in the Balearics include ‘Sobrasada’ (a type of sausage), ‘Arros Brut’ (saffron rice cooked with meat and vegetables), ‘Frit mallorqui’ (fried offal with potatoes and vegetables) and ‘Ensaimada’ (a sweet bun).

Speciality spirits from Menorca include Maó Gin, made from juniper berries, and Port. The Hierbas Ibicencas, and Frígola in Ibiza are aromatic drinks built around aniseed and thyme respectively.
Climate of the Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands have a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild and stormy winters. There is some variation across Mallorca as the Tramuntana Mountains protect the southwest of the island. Average summer temperatures are around 25 degrees, when seas are also warm and a cooling breeze prevents excessive heat. Spring and autumn are great seasons to visit as temperatures are pleasant but there are fewer tourists, although nights can be cold and there is some rainfall. Average temperatures in winter are around 10 degrees with occasional showers and snow falling in the mountains.
