This Summer's Perfect Pool for Design Fans

In 2024, the iconic Hotel de Mar on Mallorca presents the Bombon Pool Club by Alberta Ferretti.

For some years now, many hotels have been surprising guests with special collaborations in summer. Fashion brands are popular in this respect. Think, for example, of Dioriviera in Malaysia or Valentino's trip to Ravello in Italy. This summer in Mallorca, the Italian designer Alberta Ferretti is inviting guests to the pool of the iconic Hotel de Mar, a member of Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts.

Jet set & high society

Ever since the Hotel de Mar first opened its doors in 1964, it has been a popular beach destination for Mallorcan high society, the international jet set and for famous artists. The iconic architecture, conceived by the Catalan architect José Antonio Coderch, und das luxuriöse Interieur machen aus dem Haus ein Symbol zeitloser Eleganz und exklusiven Genuss. Rechtzeitig zum Jubiläum gibt’s jetzt nicht nur einen hochwertigen Bildband, der sich mit Vergangenheit und Gegenwart der liebevoll “Hotel Chocolate” genannten Institution auseinandersetzt. Sondern auch eine Kollaboration mit der Italian designer Alberta Ferretti.

The collaboration focuses on Italian craftsmanship and the magnetic charm of the Balearic Islands. This summer, parasols and pool loungers are wrapped in prints designed by Alberta Ferretti, as is the outdoor area of the Pool Club restaurant. The staff will also be wearing tailor-made uniforms in the Ferretti look. The collaboration also continues in the pool restaurant. The menu features a culinary journey inspired by the essence of the Mediterranean. The cocktails are personally designed by Ferretti.

Carefully curated experiences

The collaboration with a designer is of course no coincidence. Meliá Hotels International, founded in Mallorca in 1956, now has over 400 hotels in more than 40 countries. And with the Alberta Ferretti Beach Club, the group's ambition is to appeal to sophisticated guests from the creative sector who are constantly on the lookout for tailor-made experiences and innovations.
