Dream Bathrooms – Mallorca Edition
Some houses possess a unique character due to their architecture or purpose: in Mallorca, historic homes are often converted into luxurious residences to welcome illustrious guests who choose this delightful location. During the golden age of high society, Rainier and Grace of Monaco, Aristotle Onassis, and Maria Callas stayed in Mallorca, and even today the Spanish royal family maintains its summer residence in Palma.
Dream bathroom inspiration can be drawn from homes, placing the bathtub near a window to enjoy the view of the Mediterranean’s natural wonders. The neutral colors are inspired by sandstone, which complements the pure white of the sink. The bathroom becomes a work of art with the Fontana sink, whose cylindrical shape conveys strength and purity. Made of antibacterial Cristalplant Biobased, the Fontana sink is durable and sustainable.
Mallorca, the largest and richest of the Balearic Islands, has been a center of attention in the Mediterranean for over two millennia. Every ancient people has landed on its shores, from the Greeks to the Carthaginians, from the Romans to the Byzantines, from pirates to the Moors: the Arabs brought oranges, almonds, and apricots, as well as Moorish architecture with baths and mosques, later replaced by Gothic churches, castles, and colonial houses. During the summer, the population doubles, thanks to the golden beaches and crystal-clear sea, numerous golf courses, classical music festivals, contemporary art exhibitions, and vibrant nightlife.
To challenge the worldliness of Ibiza and Formentera, Mallorca has updated its look with trendy shops, new hotels featuring eco-sustainable architecture, restaurants serving creative cuisine, and nightclubs hosting famous DJs, focusing on the fusion of styles and cultures that is a legacy of its rich history. More elegant and slightly posh than other islands, Mallorca seems to prefer country estates hidden among vineyards and olive groves to the city, or minimalist villas overlooking the sea, beloved by the international jet-set, to enjoy the exclusive beauty of the landscape.
