Meliá Hotels International and tennis player Rafa Nadal have come together to give birth to a unique project: the first hotel brand lifestyle of Mediterranean essence, thus exporting its character, lifestyle and culture as its main hallmarks of identity.
“With this first ZEL hotel in Mallorca, as with the concept we have created for the brand, we are looking for those moments in life that I enjoy so much: Everyone knows that I really like sailing and especially in the Mediterranean; eat on the beach, in a beach bar or at a beach club and relax while spending time with friends and family feeling at home. For me, this is the most important thing, what I wanted to convey with ZEL and I think we have achieved it, ”explains the tennis player Rafa Nadal regarding his venture.
Located 20 minutes from Mallorca airport, 5 from one of the most dazzling ports in Europe, Puerto Portals, and close to the fascinating Serra de Tramuntana, the first ZEL hotel is located in Palmanova, next to a magnificent beach of more than 1 thousand meters of white sand and crystalline waters.
At ZEL Mallorca, the patio is configured as the heart, epicenter and energy engine of the hotel, functioning as a lobby and interconnecting its different areas. A reflection of the passion for outdoor life.
In the same patio, the hotel has a corner of specialty coffee from the Syra Coffee firm. In turn, and also integrated into this very special lobby, ZEL Mallorca has designed and installed its own concept storea place where visitors and guests can purchase exclusive products from local and international brands.
Taking this taste for open spaces as inspiration and the biophilic design trend as a starting point, rooms have been conceptualized with colors, textures and shapes that refer to nature, generating a sense of peace, well-being and relaxation in the guest.
In the interiors of ZEL Mallorca, the harmonious mix of influences stands out, with winks and references to other key points of Mediterranean culture such as Italy and Greece, as well as prints and finishes in maritime tones that create an environment brimming with energy.
