CAP ROCAT
History & Story
This national monument set on 88 acres of private land and 2 km of private coastline, also a Nature Park with very special bird and sea life, was created from a former 19th century military fortress stunningly blended into the landscape. Cap Rocat was so ingeniously built into the cliffs that despite its huge walls and ramparts, the building cannot be seen from the mainland or the sea. Only the canopies of the rooftop lounges on the terrace are visible on the horizon.
This unique hotel retains and highlights some of the original defensive strategies, like a drawbridge, bunkers and trenches. And the former shooting pads were converted into suites; each with their own private patio and terraces.
Inside the peaceful and cool lounges, the creator of the concept, Antonio Obrador uses local fabrics, Moroccan rugs and vintage black and white photos of Mallorca to brilliant effect. Cap Rocat is all about simple luxury, identity and a complete lack of ostentation.

• The Sentinels: Hidden in the rock, on the edge of the cape’s cliffs where Cap Rocat was built.
These three very rare rooms, carved like watchtowers in secret enclaves, have now been splendidly transformed from surveillance points that controlled the entrance to Palma Bay in to elegant rooms with unique views.
Restaurants & Bars
• Restaurant La Fortaleza
Our gastronomic restaurant. The luxury of the essentials of Mediterranean gastronomy created by our chef Victor Garcia. The magic of the night in Cap Rocat enchants the gastronomic restaurant La Fortaleza; inside the main building of the fortress in winter or in the main courtyard in the summer with the subtle sound of the fountains. During the summer, an aperitif is served before dinner viewing the sunset from our panoramic terrace.

Located on the waterfront, in the spectacular “Cala de la Reina”, the Sea Club is an open-air restaurant which offers dishes cooked in a traditional Mallorcan firewood oven and grill.
