For those who are looking for a beautiful 5-star hotel, Majorca has something special in store for you. Our hotels are situated in one of the most exquisite places on earth. So not only are you sure of accommodations that meet the highest standards of the industry, you will also be spending time in one of the most coveted landscapes. Our hotels have an excellent reputation for combining old-world hospitality with new-world amenities, bringing tradition and innovation together with precise Spanish style. Majorca has a long reputation for travelers from around the world, and for centuries people have been coming here to ease both body and mind. It has quite a list of famous visitors, and still attracts celebrities and artists from all over.
The night life here is really vivacious, and that in part would explain the appeal to the celebrity attraction. The island is also one of the most picturesque islands on earth, and that would certainly help explain the appeal to painters. One such painter, whose works might draw you in to Majorca faster than a photograph, is Malaga’s Jaime Rodriguez. Currently a professor of ecology at the University of Malaga, his paintings are only a part-time obsession, and his other interest is in playing classical guitar.
One can find the work of Jaime Rodriguez through google’s paintmap project. This is a way for painters from around the world to download their landscape portraits of places on the globe, and is a way to compliment images from google earth. The result is a stunning and heady version of where we live as seen through hundreds of artistic visions. His work on Majorca is made with rich swaths of color that make the street scenes really pop, to give them a distinct aliveness, yet also maintaining a feel for antiquity. They are evocative of a kind of distant calm, provoking a yearning for something unattainable but almost in reach. They also show an ecologist’s concerns, with subject matters ranging from windmills to buildings that fall out of use, and make the viewer aware of larger concerns while maintaining a quiet and seductive beauty, that is Majorca.
