The Finca Cortesin–powered makeover of this 31-room hotel in the hills above the Mallorcan village of Puigpunyent has arguably eclipsed even the original in the two years since it’s been open. The owners tapped designer Lorenzo Castillo to indulge his maximalist magic to its ultimate extent, lavishing the interior with layers of exquisite detailing: carved wooden ceilings, upholstered walls. The vibe here is, unabashedly, too much is never enough. Castillo turned what Reversade called “a local elegant family home" into “the place to be while in Mallorca." “That pool? My God, it’s massive," Reversade swoons. Cari Gray puts it more succinctly, warning that “it’s impossible to keep your mouth closed" while moseying around the extraordinary gardens. Where to stay? Jaclyn Sienna India of Sienna Charles always recommends room 20, which she calls “the best suite in all of Spain," or try the two-bedroom villa, rooms 50 and 51, which comes with its own private pool.
