What makes a hotel really exceptional? What are the things that really make a difference today? What makes it the best hotel in the world? All of us at Zafiro Hotels are totally convinced that what makes a hotel really special is the experience it provides for guests. For us, luxury is about sharing extraordinary experiences with the people that we most cherish. Enjoy unforgettable moments in exceptional settings, accompanied by attentive service, a first-class team, and a genuine connection to the destination.  

 

This very philosophy has earned all the hotels in the Zafiro Palace Collection—Zafiro Palace Andratx, Zafiro Palace Palmanova, and Zafiro Palace Alcudia—a nomination in the Best Resort category of the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025, in both the UK and US editions. 

 

And as a remarkable milestone for Zafiro, Son Sabater by Zafiro, our very first agrotourism hotel and a true gem within our Zafiro Boutique Collection, has secured a nomination as Best Hotel in the UK edition of these prestigious awards. 

 

Read on to see how you can show your support for the team behind Zafiro Hotels—the people who bring excellence to life every day.

Here, design, comfort, and thoughtful attention come together to create an atmosphere that inspires, relaxes, and continually surprises. Where every guest feels truly special, creating unforgettable experiences with their loved ones. 

 

This commitment to excellence in service and hospitality is precisely what has earned the hotels of the entire collection a nomination in the Best Resort 2025 category of the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller magazine, in both its UK and US editions. 

 

The nomination places the Zafiro Palace Andratx, Zafiro Palace Palmanova and Zafiro Palace Alcudia alongside some of the most iconic resorts in the world. An idyllic oasis for couples to unwind, turn dreams into reality, celebrate special moments, and enjoy an extraordinary getaway.

Zafiro Palace Andratx, the crown jewel of the collection, earned this prestigious honour in 2024—just three years after its grand opening. Having also secured a nomination for Best Hotel in the US edition of the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards, this exclusive resort continues to build upon its legacy. Now, as it receives this recognition once again, Zafiro Palace Andratx firmly establishes itself as a true benchmark of luxury—and a destination in its own right.

Son Sabater by Zafiro: nature in its purest state 

  

Just like the Zafiro Palace Andratx, Zafiro Palace Palmanova and Zafiro Palace Alcudia, the Son Sabater by Zafiro, our 4-star agritourism hotel in the picturesque town of Sa Pobla, is far more than just a place to stay for the night. A wonderful refuge for rest and relaxation in the heart of Mallorca, perfect for enjoying a deeper connection with the “real” Mallorca and creating unforgettable memories. 

 

An enchanting Mallorcan country estate, nestled beside the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountains, where every detail radiates authenticity and modern comfort merges seamlessly with the purest Mediterranean essence. Surrounded by vineyards, ancient holm oaks, sprawling carob fields and infinite calm. With its own signature restaurant, thoughtfully designed spaces, and exquisite villas featuring private gardens, a wonderful hotel with which guests never fail to fall in love as they savour the opportunity to unwind and explore the interior of Mallorca. 

 

For our team, this nomination in the Best Hotel category of the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2025 is more than just an accolade— it is a tribute to our roots, to the essence of Mediterranean life, and to experiences that stir the soul in a truly unique way. Above all, it is a heartfelt recognition of the passionate individuals behind Son Sabater by Zafiro, who work tirelessly to infuse every corner of the hotel with the authentic spirit of Mallorca.
