With the whole resort centred around luxury wellness, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca has a full programme of activities, such as morning workouts, guided meditation, yoga classes or road cycling, as well as two outside pools. The extensive onsite spa, Maison CODAGE Paris, has a stunning indoor pool, mud baths, sauna, a salt cave, and seven treatment rooms where guests can experience exclusively formulated treatments of their choosing. Offering a range of signature experiences for the face and body, guests can truly unwind and indulge in everything from full body scrubs and dedicated back and leg massages to advanced peeling treatments and facial cellular workouts.
Influenced by the contemporary art scene of the Balearic Islands in general, and Mallorca in particular, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca has its own Site-Specific Contemporary Art Collection, an exhibition commissioned by ABA ART LAB, with pieces showcased across the hotel. With more than 700 works by local artists and craftsmen, the collection is Mediterranean, pure, timeless and cosmopolitan.
Kimpton Aysla Mallorca is also home to two restaurants and two bars, housed in warm and welcoming spaces, set to be the gathering places loved by locals and hotel guests alike: ZAYT Pool Kitchen & Garden Deli and SABA Restaurant, Bodega & Bar.

SABA Restaurant combines locally sourced Spanish ingredients and timeless dishes often found in Southeast Asia, from kimchi and bibimbap to shabu-shabu. Among the dining room sits an open kitchen with 14 seats creating a sense of theatre, where guests can dine as they watch chefs create their take on sushi and teppanyaki.
SABA Bar is situated just as guests enter the restaurant. With its indoor meets outdoor layout, guests can enjoy an aperitif as well as a selection of local and international tapas. During the day, the bar offers coffee, tea, and sweet treats before transforming into the destination for reconnecting with friends and family over cocktails, beer on tap, and wine from the adjoining wine cellar.
Alejandro Bautista Gómez, general manager of Kimpton Aysla Mallorca, said: “It is with great pleasure that we are opening the doors to the wonderful Kimpton Aysla Mallorca, our first resort in Europe and Kimpton’s first entry into the Balearic Islands. The hotel offers the perfect blend of modern meets luxury, local meets familiar and calm meets excitement, whilst staying true to the Kimpton brand that our guests know and love.”

Situated in the town of Santa Ponsa (in Calviá, only 14 km from Palma de Mallorca and 20 minutes from its airport), guests of Kimpton Aysla Mallorca will enjoy its incredible on-site facilities and have the privilege of being a stone’s throw away from some of the island’s most prestigious leisure clubs, like the Mallorca Country Club, a regular practice ground for some of the world’s top tennis players, and Golf Santa Ponsa, a large golf complex with two 18-hole PGA European tour courses, a 9-hole course, and a driving range.
