The Fontsanta Hotel, Thermal Spa & Wellness is the definition of a destination day spa -- a place where guests can rest up, eat well, and live large. The main building was built in the 19th century; it has been restored and renovated to combine modern comforts with an old Spanish vibe. The surrounding buildings have retained the historic feel, and grounds are beautifully landscaped with lush green lawns, wildflower gardens, and winding stone pathways. The Fontsanta is adjacent to a nature preserve, but there's a busy road nearby, and traffic noise is the only harsh reality to permeate the hotel’s well-cultivated Zen. There's a reason guests return to the Fontsanta again and again. The lobby and common areas feature wide open spaces, high ceilings, wood beams, and hardwood floors. There are interesting sculptures and modern paintings around the lobby and grounds, and coffee table art books in the library area. The two outdoor pools have lovely stone decks with cushy sunbeds and elegant white beach umbrellas. Guests who want more privacy can stake out one of the daybed areas with private hot tubs located around the grounds. The bar’s terrace features comfy egg-shaped wicker chairs, and the restaurant offers foodie-quality gourmet dining under the stars. Then there's the spa, done in whites and creams, with beautiful peaked roofs, large windows, and a general aura of romance, like a little Spanish chapel of Zen. The thermal hot tub is in a stunning vaulted stone cave. There is a window in the sauna, and a solarium is lined with inviting loungers. Clientele is mainly vacationing couples.

The Fontsanta Hotel, Thermal Spa & Wellness is located in the Colonia de Sant Jordi neighborhood of Campos, on the south end of Mallorca. The area is secluded, but there's a grill restaurant located across the street. The Fontsanta is adjacent to Es Salobrar de Campos, a nature preserve with 130 salt ponds. Less than two miles away, or an 11-minute drive, is Es Trenc, one of Mallorca’s most famous beaches, perhaps one of the best in the world. Es Trenc is a protected beach, and there's a nudist section. The Palma Airport is a 30-minute drive.
