About Hospes Maricel & Spa
Hospes Maricel & Spa is part of the distinguished Hospes Hotels collection, renowned for restoring historic buildings and transforming them into luxury boutique destinations across Spain and Portugal. At Maricel, this philosophy is embodied in two distinct yet complementary architectural treasures: the Palace Building, a stately construction inspired by the noble residences of the 16th and 17th centuries with classical lines and historic features preserved; and the Natura Building, a bold avant‑garde structure where stone, wood, and natural light balance perfectly against the surrounding Mediterranean landscape. Together, they realise an architectural ambition that makes the property utterly unique.
The estate itself is characterised by expansive terraces suspended above the sea, grand lounges retaining original features such as carved stonework and high ceilings, and versatile event spaces bathed in natural light. From sun‑drenched outdoor areas perfect for ceremonies to refined interior salons that blend old‑world grandeur with contemporary comfort, the setting offers endless possibilities for weddings of different styles and scales. The blend of heritage, design, and uninterrupted Mediterranean views ensures every wedding at Maricel carries an unmistakable sense of prestige, individuality, and atmosphere.
Ceremonies
Couples may exchange vows in settings that highlight both the architectural prowess of the estate and the beauty of the Mediterranean:
- On the spectacular seafront terrace, with panoramic views, the scent of salt in the air, and the sound of the waves below creating a natural soundtrack.
- In one of the elegant salons, complete with high ceilings and refined décor, offering a warm and intimate atmosphere for smaller gatherings.
- Outdoors in the gardens or beside the pool, where lush greenery and open skies provide a relaxed yet sophisticated setting for a symbolic or civil-style celebration.
Receptions & Celebrations
The flow of a wedding day at Maricel is designed to feel effortless, moving from sunlit terraces to elegant dining rooms and lively evening party spaces. Guests begin with toasts and cocktail hours on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, accompanied by creative canapés and local cava.
The celebration then transitions to a five‑course wedding banquet prepared by the Maricel’s acclaimed culinary team, celebrating Mallorcan flavours with contemporary flair, with the option to extend menus for a more elaborate feast. As night falls, the Coach House and Natura event spaces can be transformed into vibrant evening venues for up to 170 guests, equipped with sound systems, lighting, and staging for live bands or DJs.
Although curfew restrictions apply, the events team ensures smooth transitions between dinner, dancing, and after‑hours relaxation in private lounges or suites, so the celebration continues seamlessly. Throughout it all, couples are supported by an in‑house coordinator and professional service staff, ensuring every moment is polished, personal, and memorable.
Accommodation
Hospes Maricel & Spa offers 51 distinctive rooms and suites, accommodating up to 102 guests in a variety of styles that reflect both traditional character and contemporary design. Overspill accommodation can easily be arranged in Palma’s wide selection of luxury hotels and boutique guesthouses, with transfers available, ensuring larger wedding parties remain connected and comfortable.
The bridal suite, often selected from the sea‑view or Natura Grand categories, is especially prized for its sweeping vistas, generous layout, and romantic atmosphere. Every room includes refined comforts such as exclusive mattresses with Egyptian cotton linen, turndown service, curated minibars, and spa‑quality bathrooms.
The Palace Building houses elegant rooms such as the Dreamer’s Palace, Deluxe Sea View, and Sea View Suites, many of which feature direct sea or mountain views, spacious bathrooms, and Mediterranean-inspired décor with contemporary art. At the pinnacle is the Presidential Suite, boasting an imposing living room, a 60 sqm private terrace with panoramic sea views, and luxury touches such as champagne on arrival.
The Natura Building presents a different experience, with rooms defined by native stone walls, wooden floors, and a focus on sustainable comfort. Options here include the Natura Dreamer’s and Natura Deluxe rooms, each with access to an exterior Zen pool, while the Natura Grand Suite offers 88 sqm of space with its own private terrace and pool. Families can choose the Natura Family Room, a combination of two adjoining rooms ideal for groups wanting both space and privacy. Sea views are not guaranteed in Natura rooms, but the architecture and materials create a serene, contemporary retreat.
Catering
Maricel’s gastronomy is one of its defining features and plays a central role in shaping the wedding experience. The restaurant proudly highlights Majorcan cuisine, with menus that draw on fresh seafood, island citrus, olive oils, and seasonal produce from local markets.
Wedding dining typically begins with cava toasts and delicate canapés on the terrace before moving to a five‑course seated dinner. Couples may extend this into elaborate tasting menus, tapas receptions, or traditional paella feasts. The acclaimed culinary team is also flexible in adapting dishes to vegetarian, vegan, or gluten‑free diets, ensuring inclusivity and refinement for every guest.
Beyond the wedding feast, food and drink punctuate the entire stay. The globally celebrated “Best Breakfast in the World” can be incorporated into multi‑day wedding itineraries, offering a leisurely three‑hour tasting ritual of sweet and savoury creations paired with juices, wines, and cocktails. Throughout the day, the Pool Bar serves light lunches, fresh cocktails, and snacks overlooking the sea, while the Cocktail Bar provides an elegant space for pre‑dinner aperitifs or nightcaps. This rich diversity of dining options ensures couples and their guests are immersed in the island’s delights from sunrise to midnight.
