Four Seasons Formentor Unveils Its Most Ambitious Season Yet for 2026
The Formentor peninsula has long occupied a singular place in the imagination of those who know Mallorca intimately. Jutting northward into the Mediterranean like a great stone finger, its pine-clad cliffs and crystalline coves have drawn poets, princes, and the quietly powerful for nearly a century. When the Four Seasons took stewardship of the legendary Hotel Formentor in 2024, the expectation was nothing less than a reinvention of what luxury could mean on this island. With the 2026 season reopening on March 18, the resort appears ready to deliver on that promise — and then some.
A New Chapter in Wellness
Wellness is no longer an amenity at Four Seasons Formentor — it is the organising principle of the entire guest experience. The resort's spa has been reimagined around partnerships with Biologique Recherche, Sepai, Seaskin for Life, and Gaia Natural Product, each selected for their alignment with the natural environment of the Tramuntana.
The centrepiece is the 7-Step Skin Journey with Biologique Recherche, a year-long programme that offers a different facial treatment each month from April through October. The journey begins with Spring Harmony in April, progresses through Cellular Defense (May), Summer Radiance (June), Eternal Glow (July), Perfection & Reset (August), and Oval & Eye Contour Lift (September), before concluding with Eye & Lip Renewal in October. Each treatment includes a complimentary skin analysis through the Skin Instant Lab, allowing guests to track their skin's progress across multiple visits.
The Endospheres Body Treatment by Sepai combines micro-compressive vibration with lymphatic drainage — a clinical-grade experience that stimulates circulation, supports detoxification, and refines body contours. For those who prefer their wellness outdoors, the resort's Hiking Programme and Cycling Programme guide guests through the Tramuntana's most spectacular trails, while the Sunrise with Dolphins and Mallorca from Above experiences offer encounters with the island's natural world that few visitors ever access.
A Culinary Constellation
The gastronomic offering at Formentor has been quietly but decisively elevated. Shima Restaurant brings Nikkei cuisine — the vibrant fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavours — to a terrace overlooking the bay, with signature cocktails designed to complement the contrast of ceviche and sashimi.
Llum i Sal, available from May 1 for lunch and May 15 for dinner, is the new addition this season. Named for the light and salt that define Mallorcan life, the restaurant pays tribute to the island's maritime tradition with dishes sourced directly from fishermen in the Bay of Pollença: red tuna belly, gratin razor clams, and shareable rice dishes that celebrate the Mediterranean at its most elemental.
Mel continues its farm-to-table philosophy with seasonal menus connected to local producers, while Cercle, the resort's elegant bar, serves as the gathering point for select wines and cocktails that reinterpret Mallorcan ingredients. Private dining experiences — a sunset dinner among the vineyards, a gourmet picnic in a secluded garden, open-air cinema under the stars, or an intimate dinner in a seaside cabana — elevate the culinary programme from exceptional to unforgettable.
Easter at Formentor
The resort has designed a comprehensive Easter programme running from late March through early April. Highlights include ceramics and painting workshops for all ages, an Easter Egg Hunt across the resort grounds, and the "Golden Egg" challenge — a treasure hunt guided by maps and clues for both children and adults.
On March 29 and April 5, the Rice & Sobremesa family Sunday lunch at Quiosc features an à la carte menu with a special paella station. April 1 brings an outdoor cinema night for families, while April 3 hosts an exclusive Cocktail Speakeasy at a secret location for adults seeking a more curated evening. The Easter Brunch Market on April 4 combines local brands, live entertainment, and a children's farmyard — followed by a Biologique Recherche masterclass at the spa.
A Wine Masterclass at the Formentor vineyard on April 2 rounds out the programme, offering guests a deeper connection to the island's growing viticultural reputation.
The Private Jet Experience
Perhaps the most striking announcement for 2026 is the inclusion of Mallorca on the Four Seasons Private Jet itinerary. From September 16 to 19, guests on this ultra-luxury global tour will arrive at Formentor for three nights of curated experiences — a recognition that the resort now stands alongside the world's most exclusive destinations.
Getting There with Style
For those planning their own journey to Formentor, the experience begins the moment you arrive on the island. Azul Cars offers premium vehicle delivery directly to Palma de Mallorca Airport or your hotel, ensuring a seamless drive along the scenic road to Pollença and onward to the peninsula. For guests arriving by sea, Bluebnc Yachting can arrange a day charter from Palma or Port d'Andratx, approaching Formentor from the water as the original visitors once did — arguably the most dramatic arrival on the island.
Those seeking a private villa as a complement to their resort stay will find exceptional options through Azul Stays, with curated properties in nearby Pollença and Alcúdia that offer the independence of a private home with concierge-level service. And for guests considering a more permanent connection to this corner of Mallorca, Balearic Blue maintains a portfolio of off-market properties in the Pollença and Formentor area.
The Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor reopens on March 18, 2026. For reservations and further information, visit fourseasons.com/mallorca.
