A very special gift from Zafiro
The best trips go beyond the destination; they immerse us in its soul and make us feel at home. This is the approach that has led Maria and Antonia Plomer, the owners of Zafiro Hotels, to create a very personal guide to Mallorca, offering an intimate look at the island that shaped them.
To mark this occasion, this little gem, full of very special memories, will be offered as a gift to guests staying at Zafiro Hotels. A heartfelt gesture from the Plomer sisters, honouring the stories that inspire us to travel and discover new places.
“The best memories of our life will not be found in the photos, they are stored in our hearts. That's why we're really excited to share this guide book with our guests, so they can experience and feel the island the same as we do,” they say.

A journey to the heart of Mallorca
This guide is an invitation to explore the true essence of Mallorca — an island rich in stories, hidden gems, and unforgettable experiences. Far from being a conventional travel guide, this personal selection of places and experiences offers a deeper connection to Mallorca, allowing you to discover it like a local.
The guide is organised into different sections, each highlighting a special area of the island and its most authentic experiences.
- Palma: the capital of Mediterranean style
In the first part of the guide, Antonia and Maria Plomer invite you to take a leisurely stroll through Palma. Wander its cobbled streets, soak in the elegant atmosphere of Paseo del Borne, and explore the charming boutiques where they have chosen (and still choose) special gifts for their family and friends.
- Andratx, Puerto Portals and Port Adriano: discreet island luxury
The next section of the guide takes us to Andratx, a place that holds a special meaning for the owners of Zafiro Hotels. They share that it was the peacefulness of its coves and the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings that inspired the entire concept of Zafiro Palace Andratx.
- Serra de Tramuntana mountains, nature at its most sublime
In this section, the founders of Zafiro Hotels take us through their favourite trails in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where mountains meet the Mediterranean in spectacular fashion. They share with us their favourite towns and villages and most fascinating sights and attractions.
- North of the island: childhood memories
The north of Mallorca is the closing and most special chapter of the guide. Why? Because this is where it all began — in the bay of Alcudia, where Antonia and Maria Plomer grew up, spending endless summers by the sea with their family.
A very personal gift
As part of a family with decades of dedication to hospitality and a deep-rooted Mediterranean spirit, Antonia and Maria Plomer created this guide to share their personal vision of Mallorca. Their goal is to connect with their guests and inspire them to explore the island beyond the usual routes, discovering its most authentic and special places.
This personal gift was first offered to Zafiro Club guests at Zafiro Palace Andratx and Zafiro Palace Palmanova, alongside the many special touches included in these exclusive suites. This season, it will also be available at the two Boutique Collection hotels — Can Ribera by Zafiro and Son Sabater by Zafiro.
The perfect invitation to discover Mallorca from north to south guided by stories that make the island truly unique.
