Colonia Sant Jordi | Balearics

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Plotted on a peaceful stretch of Majorca’s southern coast, Universal Grand Leon & Spa is all about contemporary Mediterranean luxury with a genuine sense of place. Think low-rise architecture, glass-fronted spaces and sea views, paired with a destination spa that feels like a sanctuary – sensory circuit, sauna, steam room, cold plunge and serene relaxation zones included. Add in fine dining at Bacora, a chic piano bar, complimentary yoga and a sleek gym, and you have a seafront escape that’s as focused on wellbeing as it is on style. Es Trenc’s dazzling white sands are just a short drive away, and there are smaller coves and beaches to wander to on foot.

Signature spa, considered design and a calm seafront setting make Universal Grand Leon & Spa a standout for indulgent yet understated escapes. Slow down in the spa’s multi-sensory circuit, drift between the saltwater pool and indoor heated pool, then ease into sunset with a glass of something chilled at the piano bar.

For couples and discerning travellers seeking the Balearics’ softer side, Universal Grand Leon & Spa blends boutique styling with resort-level facilities right by the sea. It’s around 1 hour 15 minutes from Palma de Mallorca (PMI), placing you in relaxed Colonia Sant Jordi with Es Trenc’s powdery sands within easy reach. See more Balearics holidays.
