A Modern Coastal Wedding at Hospes Maricel, Mallorca

Photographed by Rachelle Holland

Set against the tranquil blues of the Mediterranean, Kate and Tom’s wedding at Hospes Maricel & Spa Palma was the definition of contemporary island sophistication. With its terraced architecture and sea views that stretch endlessly into the horizon, the venue offered an atmosphere of quiet grandeur—where modern design met natural beauty. Captured by Rachelle Holland, every frame felt fresh, luminous, and unforced, allowing the day’s calm confidence to shine through.

The ceremony took place on a sunlit terrace overlooking the water, framed by sculptural white florals that echoed the minimalist elegance of the space. Rows of white chairs led to a modern floral installation, creating a serene, coastal palette that let the sea speak for itself. For couples dreaming of a wedding in Mallorca, this is the kind of effortless beauty the island does best—luxury without pretense.

Kate wore two looks: a sleek strapless gown for the ceremony and a form-fitting lace dress for the evening. Her look was polished yet understated, complemented by soft, natural makeup. The groom and his party opted for classic black tuxedos, while Tom stood out in an ivory dinner jacket—a timeless contrast that felt perfectly suited to the warm, stone backdrop of Maricel’s terrace.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, dinner tables lined the edge of the sea. Crisp linens, single-stem roses, and glass candle holders created an atmosphere that was both intimate and elevated. Guests dined with sailboats drifting just beyond the glass terrace—a quiet reminder of the magic of a Mallorca coastal wedding. The sound of clinking glasses and live saxophone music carried into the night.

The celebration transitioned seamlessly from sunset to starlight. A champagne tower signaled the start of the evening’s festivities—a moment that captured the couple’s joy and the vibrant spirit of Mallorca. Under soft lighting and sea air, the night unfolded as one long exhale of happiness, with music, laughter, and views that only this island could offer.
