Renewing from the base 

 

Sometimes a shift in perspective is vital for unlocking new possibilities. Pause for a moment, view things from a different angle, and reinvent yourself to move forward with renewed strength. At Zafiro Hotels, we embrace this philosophy, constantly renewing ourselves to innovate, improve, and grow in harmony with our surroundings. 

 

The rebranding of the spa and wellness centres in our spectacular Zafiro Palace Collection hotels reflects this commitment.  

 

Opal is much more than something purely symbolic. It’s a tribute to the precious stones that have inspired humankind over the ages, inspired to seek exceptional wellness experiences that capture the genuine essence and magic of the Mediterranean. Experiences that reflect the calm and serenity of the island, the brightness of the sea and the freshness of the gentle Mediterranean breeze.  

 

 

Why Opal? 

 

Opal opens up a new chapter in a concept of well-being that is inspired by the beauty, colour, light, elegance and uniqueness of the opal. 

 

All in spaces where luxury and comfort blend seamlessly, creating a magical and radiant atmosphere in which beauty and the transformation of the body and mind unite like never before. In an environment meticulously designed to make you shine, just like the mythical opal itself. 

 

Properties of opals 

 

The beauty and properties of opal have fascinated humankind for centuries. For the Greeks, they were used to predict the future. For the Romans, they symbolised hope. For the Arabs, they were protective talismans. And in Asian traditions they embodied faith. Throughout history, this gemstone has been cherished for its spiritual and emotional qualities, a timeless connection to emotional and physical well-being that endures to this day.  

 

The opal enhances the connection with the cosmos and with our deepest emotions. Opals are revered as a source of balance, clarity and creativity - known as the artists' stone - they serve as a shield against stress and a gateway to spiritual healing. 

 

At Zafiro Hotels, we draw inspiration from the opal for our spas. Just as this gemstone fosters connection and peace, our wellness spaces are designed to be sanctuaries where body, mind and spirit unite in harmony. A true haven for physical and emotional renewal. 

 

The power of opals 

 

At our Opal by Germaine de Capuccini centres, we channel the transformative power of this precious gemstone. Through thoughtfully crafted experiences, we offer holistic well-being, fostering relaxation, harmony, and spiritual renewal.  

 

It’s an invitation to rejuvenate from within, embrace happiness, and enjoy radiant, sublime experiences designed to uplift your spirit. 

 

Enjoy the Opal by Germaine de Capuccini experience at: 

  • Zafiro Palace Andratx: fully customisable relaxation experiences. Beauty treatments for women and men, massages, sauna, a Turkish bath and an indoor pool with spectacular views. 
  • Zafiro Palace Alcudia: a space full of harmony, with a main pool with water jets, sauna, Turkish bath and personalised treatments. 
  • Zafiro Palace Palmanova: welcoming and comforting open spaces. With a main pool with water jets, sauna, Turkish bath and special massage cabins. 

 

Make a reservation using the Zafiro Hotels App or with the hotel Concierge service and enjoy being spirited away by the genuine pleasures of well-being.
