We were invited to go and review Kimpton Aysla Mallorca, a brand new luxury resort in the Balearic Islands. Writer Joanna Magill visited to discover more about honeymoons at this dreamy getaway…
In autumn 2022, luxury brand Kimpton opened the first luxury lifestyle hotel in the sunny island of Mallorca, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca. Its amazing facilities, attentive staff and gorgeous surroundings make this an ideal location for those that want to honeymoon away from the noise - read on to find out more.
Where is Kimpton Aysla Mallorca?
Kimpton Aysla Mallorca is located in, surprise surprise, Mallorca, one of the beautiful Balearic Islands off the southern coast of Spain. To be more precise, it’s in Santa Ponsa, Calvia, just 14km from the capital Palma, and a 30 minute drive from the airport.
Honeymooning at Kimpton Aysla Mallorca
If you’re looking for a honeymoon spot that exudes luxury and privacy, then Kimpton could be the place for you. We can tell you with confidence that this is the comfiest bed you’ll ever sleep in - if you can manage to drag yourself out, you’ll be treated to a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with a full bathtub, and a balcony with seating to enjoy coffee with a view in the morning.
One of the highlights of this resort is the staff. Kimpton strive to differentiate themselves from aloof stereotypes normally associated with luxury venues by their warm and empathetic service. They also place huge importance on the local culture and products, highlighting the importance of the local ceramics, shoemaking, wine and glassmaking trades, as well as showcasing art by Mallorcan artists.
If you’ve enjoyed an autumn wedding or a winter wedding, you can still visit Kimpton - this is the first luxury resort on the island that’s open all year round.
Venue Facilities
Your honeymoon is all about spending one-on-one time with your new spouse; however, if you can drag yourselves away from your lush hotel room, there’s no shortage of things to do.
This resort boasts not one, not two, but three pools - two outdoor, with space to sun yourself with a view of the surrounding mountains, and one inside with unique water features. To relax after swimming your lengths, you can hit up the on-site spa facilities, which include a sauna, steam room, mud room and a totally unique Himalayan salt room.
Anyone who prefers sea salt over chlorine has one of two options; either you can use one of the hotel’s bikes to cycle to the beach, or use the on-site shuttle which runs to your schedule.
If you want to take all the work out of relaxing, you can head upstairs to the Maison Codage spa, where skincare experts and masseurs will show you how it’s done. If you’d rather get the blood pumping, there’s also a fully stocked fitness suite with a range of classes for you both to enjoy.
Food and Drink at Kimpton Aysla Mallorca
There are plenty of places to enjoy food and drink at the resort. Traditional Spanish dishes and tapas are one of the specialties here, with plates (including the tasty Mallorcan sobrassada) prepared using local produce. Wine is also sourced locally, giving nearby vendors the chance to showcase the best of Mallorcan grapes.
At dinner time, resident restaurant Saba is unmissable. This spectacular eatery combines the best of Korean and Japanese food to create mind blowing Asian fusion. Each of the chefs have trained extensively in Asian kitchens, and you can see all their skills on display in the unique 'theatre kitchen'.
The venue owners are extremely attentive and you can feel the amount of passion that has gone into this venue. This project has been a passion since 2014 and the level of detail and careful consideration doesn’t go unnoticed. If you’re looking for a luxurious honeymoon destination, then Kimpton Aysla Mallorca will tick all your boxes. Discover more by visiting their website!
