Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort

The resort's enormous, nearly 38,000-square-foot free form swimming pool with 6 hydro massage areas, built-in loungers and a swim-up bar takes center stage during the day. Lapped by gentle surf, a beautiful powdery well-kept strand dotted with beach chairs and shady palapas is another option for catching some rays. With a cornucopia of activities guests are spoiled for choice. Horseback riding excursions are available twice a day, or enjoy complimentary green fees for the adjacent 18-hole Cocotal Golf Course, devised by Spanish golfer José Gancedo. The resort features an up-to-date gym, which offers Pilates and yoga sessions along with sweeping views over the main pool and the turquoise ocean. No sweat and all relaxation is key at YHI Spa, which has a comprehensive palette of beauty and wellness treatments as well as a thermal circuit with waterfalls, Turkish bath and whirlpools. Paradisus Palma Real prides itself in highly personalized service, which includes an assigned travel concierge tasked with detailing the resort's lay of the land to guests and importantly, taking dinner reservation requests: the standout among Paradisus Palma's altogether 11 restaurants and a must-try is à la carte fine dining spot Passion, helmed by 7-Michelin-starred chef Martín Berasategui. Without question, elegant rooms and stellar food options coupled with near limitless amenities at Paradisus Palma Real make that luxurious tropical island dream come true.
