In the triangle formed by Manacor, Artá, and Santa Margarita, the Mallorcan landscape resembles the idyllic Tuscan countryside, offering visitors a unique experience in a natural setting. This spot, once a retreat for the European jet set, comes back to life with the reopening of La Reserva Rotana, a five-star hotel promising to regain its splendor.

La Reserva Rotana

La Reserva Rotana was inaugurated in 1997 by Swiss-Argentinian entrepreneur Juan Ramón Theler and Princess Loretta Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein. It became an exclusive destination where celebrities such as Gunter Sachs, Boris Becker, and model Elle Macpherson enjoyed the luxury and privacy offered by the environment. However, after Theler’s death and a period of inactivity, the hotel transferred to a family office in Singapore, which entrusted entrepreneur Giovanni Merello with its revitalization.

Merello emphasizes La Reserva Rotana’s potential to position itself as one of the best golf and wine resorts in the Mediterranean. “With 200 hectares of inspiring landscapes, including a private 9-hole golf course, the estate has everything needed to attract a select audience,” he states. The hotel’s renovation includes modernizing its 24 rooms while respecting the historical character of the 17th-century building. Traditional elements like wooden beams and terracotta floors have been maintained, but the interior has been modernized for contemporary comfort.

Furthermore, La Reserva Rotana will reactivate its renowned à la carte restaurant, which was once recommended by the Michelin Guide, offering high-quality dining experiences that will attract food enthusiasts worldwide. From wine tastings to craft workshops and bicycle tours, the hotel aims to provide a variety of personalized experiences that will delight its guests. With expansion plans and new services on the horizon, La Reserva Rotana is poised to become the preferred destination for those seeking luxury, tranquility, and natural beauty in exclusive Mallorca.
