Royal summer retreat Mallorca marvel
MALLORCA has long been a magnet for celebrities, and this summer its beaches, clear waters and green hills have welcomed stars such as Justin and Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise. Naturally, the island also offers luxury accommodation to match. One favourite among the elite is tucked away in the quiet village of Canyamel. Viajeros Cuatro, a Spanish reality travel show, recently featured the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, a five-star retreat in eastern Mallorca. The show seeks out distinctive, high-end destinations across five continents and offers viewers cultural insights and travel recommendations. The Cap Vermell Grand Hotel has become a benchmark for luxury in the Balearic Islands. Its secluded location and refined offerings have attracted numerous high-profile guests over the years, including Spanish-Filipino TV host Isabel Preysler, Star Wars creator George Lucas and former US First Lady Michelle Obama.

Spain’s Royal Family arrived in Palma de Mallorca and are staying at their sumptuous Marivent Palace.
IN case Mallorca was not already star-struck, the Spanish royal family arrived in Palma to kick off their holiday on Monday, July 28. They are, as usual, staying at their temporary residence in the Marivent Palace, a building located on the cliff of Cala Major that sits on a 33,000 square metre estate. King Felipe VI, who held several meetings with local government officials, and Queen Letizia are vacationing on the island of Mallorca in Palma, accompanied by their daughters, Infanta Sofía and Princess Leonor. Their Marivent summer home stands out for its spacious gardens and pine
forests, as well as its tower that overlooks the main building. The property was designed and built in the 1920s by the Greek-born engineer Joan de Saridakis. The monarch’s official agenda began upon arrival, according to the official calendar of the Royal Household. That day, the son of Queen Sofía and Juan Carlos I held several meetings at the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, the castle converted into his official residence during his stays in the Balearic Islands. Queen Letizia will preside over the closing ceremony of the 15th Atlántida Mallorca Film Fest on Saturday, August 3.
The event at La Misericòrdia cultural centre in Palma features 63 film premieres, 20 short films and a series, as well as 18 concerts. They will also present 10 projects still being developed. The closing ceremony will include the presentation of the Master of Cinema Award to composer Alberto Iglesias, who will collect the award for his lifetime achievement as the Queen’s Manso. During the closing ceremony, the awards for this 15th edition of the festival will be presented, and the closing ceremony will feature a performance by Yerai Cortés and the screening of
the documentary ‘El canto de las manos’ (The Song of Hands), directed by María Valverde. The documentary explores deafness through music, following Jennifer, Gabriel, and José, three deaf musicians from Venezuela, as they take on the challenge of performing Beethoven’s Fidelio in sign language for the first time, under the direction of Gustavo Dudamel. The organisers say the festival has established itself as one of the most important events on Palma’s summer calendar, offering a multidisciplinary mix of film, music, talks, and industry meetings.
