The llaut is the traditional boat of the Balearic Islands that has been used for centuries in the Mediterranean. In the past, it was a great tool used by fishermen and sailors to transport goods. Its beauty and elegance make it a popular tourist attraction, and its historical and economic importance makes it a symbol of the islands and their people.
Now, the five-star Zafiro Palace Andratx in Mallorca, Spain has launched an experience for guests to enjoy an excursion on a llaut, but with a sustainable twist. The boat runs on a 100% electric motor. Available exclusively for Zafiro guests, the experience consists of a trip for up to 6 people along the southwest coast of Mallorca, with opportunities for water activities such as SUP and underwater scooters, as well as onboard food and drinks featuring locally sourced products. This innovative and sustainable experience causes no emissions, has no carbon footprint, and causes no stress to local marine wildlife. The Zafiro Hotels commitment to sustainability aims to help support sustainable tourism in the Balearic Islands and the preservation of its biodiversity.
The five-star Zafiro Palace Andratx, the crown jewel of the Mallorcan family-owned Zafiro Hotels, epitomizes the island’s evolving charm. Resplendent in authentic island character, secluded terraces give way to sweeping views of the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountains and white sand beaches. The all-suite resort features five restaurants, three infinity pools and a luxurious spa. Standout artwork is from female-owned ABA ART and take-home vanity cases are designed by Teixits Vicens, one of the island’s only traditional artisanal fabric makers. For those seeking access to over-the-top service and enhanced amenities, the new Zafiro Club Suites showcase the very best that the hotel has to offer, including exclusive access to a private pool and bar area, Jo Loves in-room amenities (created by Jo Malone), daily fresh flowers, a personalized concierge service, massage for two, romantic dinner and more.
Unveiled last season, the hotel also has a new all-inclusive package that includes standout amenities such as personalized concierge service, priority bookings in all hotel restaurants, a la carte dining menus, a robust selection of international wine and cocktails, VIP airport transfers, 24-hour room service, priority golf course access, and more.
