LOVED this hotel. Adult only. Very small. Old world European feel. It's an old military fortress that was converted to a hotel. Very unique and special spot. Rooms aren't new / renovated but worth it for ambiance of hotel. Every room has a rooftop daybed. Doesn't have a sandy beach but has a set up on the edge of the rocks overlooking the Mediterranean and you can walk down to hop in the sea
Stay
Days 3–6
Went for the beach - CAUTION it's public and very narrow / crowded, we didn't even end up using. Great spot for families, wouldn't recommend for romantic adult-only vacation
lunch
Hotel beach restaurant. Eh

beautiful setting overlooking the water. great for lunch during hotel stay and dinner

lunch - have to reserve 7 days in advance the second it comes out. worth it if spending the day exploring Deia / Valdemossa. Could also eat at Belmond in that area but we didn't go. Bring towels to swim before/after lunch. Cash only
lunch
Pool restaurant. Was good. Better than beach option IMO
dinner
Hotels Mediterranean option. Was good
dinner
Restaurant at Richard Branson's hotel. Was a pretty spot but a shlep. Long windy drive to hotel. Next time would just stay at Cap Rocat.
dinner
Good option if you want to go into Palma. Nothing to write home about but cool restaurant if you want a night to explore Palma

Walked around historic towns (ourselves, don't need a guide). C'as Patro Marche is in Deia so easy to do same day. Could also go eat at the Belmont in Deia which I've heard is great

Beach was too crowded

Getting around
Can arrange with hotel, it’s a Four Seasons water taxi. Definitely the way to go if going to dinner in the port
If renting a car (would recommend), you need an international drivers license. Have to do at least a week before We went in the summer months. Apparently Mallorca is also very popular in the fall for biking bc it has mild winters
Cap Rocat

You can apply online here. It takes 5 days + shipping time and you need the physical permit, there is no digital copy. So make sure to do it 2-3 weeks in advance! https://www.aaa-idp.com/
How do you get an international drivers license?
