The Zafiro Palace Andratx experiences you really have to try

Sailing on an electric “llaüt” 

Having the chance to view the coastline of Mallorca from the sea is an exceptional experience. And even more so if you have the chance to do it in a sustainable “llaüt”, a traditional Mallorcan boat now fitted with a fully electric motor and totally respectful of the marine ecosystem. 

Many Mallorcan families take to the sea in their “llaüt”, particularly on Sundays. It’s their way of enjoying the sea with family and friends in the most exceptional setting, surrounded by the serene turquoise waters of the most beautiful coves on the island.  

This experience is available at all 3 hotels in the Zafiro Palace Collection (Zafiro Palace Andratx, Zafiro Palace Alcudia and Zafiro Palace Palmanova). 

The excursions service is only for guests and will be available every Friday from June to September. Space for up to 7 people. 

The boat has been designed by the traditional “Mestres d'Aixa”, and is equipped with an innovative electric motor that makes it extremely silent and completely emission-free. Ideal for savouring all the immense beauty of the coast without hardly causing a ripple. 

There are 5 different trips available, with their cost depending on their duration. Departures are subject to favourable weather and sea conditions: 

• Port d'Andratx: Cala d'Egos · Cala Llamp · Sant Elm · Racó des Morté 
• Port Adriano: Malgrats Islands · Isla del Toro · Cala Fornells · Camp de Mar 
• The morning at sea (from 10am to 2pm) is perfect for enjoying the beautiful island light in the morning and its crystal-clear waters.  
• The sunset trip is the shortest (7pm to 9:30pm), ideal for enjoying the sunset from a very privileged viewpoint.  
• The full-day trip (from 10am to 6pm) is best suited to the most adventurous visitors and those that really love the sea. 

Departures from Port d'Andratx allow you to explore steep cliffs and secluded coves. From Port Adriano, the route leads you past the Malgrats Islands Marine Reserve, a protected enclave of exceptional ecological value. 

In addition to marvelling at all the immense natural beauty along the route, you also have the chance to try a wide range of activities in the water included in the experience. You can swim into secret coves, try stand up paddle, use the underwater scooter or the snorkelling gear… there’s also an option to book a Mallorcan picnic to enjoy on board including a number of typical local products. 

To keep in mind: 

• The Sailing Days service can only be booked by guests at the Zafiro Palace Andratx.  
• As there are a limited number of places, bookings must be made at least 24 hours in advance through the hotel Concierge team or the Zafiro Hotels APP. 
• Guests must be in the boarding area 15 to 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. 

Germaine de Cappucini spa treatments 

The Zafiro Palace Andratx holiday experience revolves around a feeling of well-being. In addition to providing food trucks serving healthy meals and an extensive activities programme to help guests stay in shape, the spa and wellness area is an oasis of relaxation, perfect for disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with your inner self.  

Opal by Germaine de Capuccini provides not only a place to relax and enjoy the sauna, Turkish bath or pools with water jets, there’s also a chance to treat yourself to personalised beauty sessions designed by the prestigious Germaine de Capuccini brand. 

Here are some of the most exclusive treatments included in the choice of beauty rituals: 

• The celebrities ritual. This is a professional anti-fatigue treatment using Vitamin C, and one of the most exclusive rituals offered by the Germaine de Capuccini brand. It has been designed to add brightness and vitality to the skin as part of a complete facial rejuvenation. 
• The magic of the silk road. 110 minutes of pampering and total care. The therapy includes a full massage with exfoliating properties that is reminiscent of the sea. Once all the skin has been prepared, it is wrapped in a layer of nutrients that resemble the feel of a silk wrap (which is how the treatment got its name). The result is an experience which guarantees perfect harmony between mind and body.
• Sensuality and care. This is another of the exclusive luxury rituals offered by Germaine de Capuccini. This treatment uses baobab oil and pure Flor d'Es Trenc sea salt, produced locally on the salt flats in Ses Salines in the south of Mallorca. This is a holistic therapy that focuses on the head and neck, relieving tension and nourishing the scalp.  

To keep in mind: 

• The treatments offered by Opal by Germaine de Capuccini can be booked through the Zafiro Hotels App (available between 24 and 48 hours before arrival at the hotel). 
• Spa opening hours are from 10am to 6pm every day of the week.
