STAY HERE Grand Hotel Son Net, Mallorca
Meet Grand Hotel Son Net, a stylishly understated, art-filled hideaway on a private Majorcan estate dating back to 1672. Just a 20-minute drive from Palma in the foothills of the UNESCO World Heritage Tramuntana Mountains, the sister hotel from the team behind Finca Cortesin – an enchanting, Southern Spanish bolthole in Andalusia – is being lovingly and meticulously restored to re-emerge in early May 2023. Over centuries, this Majorcan manor house was passed down through the hands of several prominent Spanish families and became one of the most prestigious residential estates on the island. With just 31 rooms and suites, Grand Hotel Son Net will juxtapose elegant, palatial architecture with tastefully transformed interiors by Lorenzo Castillo that are relaxed, romantic, and intimate; breath-taking views- for-days, citrus orchards, and lush Mediterranean gardens. There will also be a curated private art collection, 57,000m2 of private landscape, multiple pools flanked by private shaded cabanas, an ecological vegetable and herb garden, small farm, and private vineyard. Food will all be locally sourced, and the vineyard will produce Malvasia white wine that supplies the large, open wine cellar. We say, plan ahead, book now.
USE THIS Jones Road Lip Tint
No one knows neutrals better than Bobbi Brown, especially when it comes to lips. Now the Lip Tint from her new brand Jones Road is available in four neutral shades: Nude Mauve, Cocoa Rose, Mocha Rose Shimmer and Just Pinky. Just in time to create supple, hydrated lips for the rest of summer, this range promises an easy application, complete with buildable colour and ultimate hydration. The formula of the tint is a mix of a balm and a stain, making it lightweight enough to wear all day long, but able to give you a stronger pigment if you layer up, designed to be used on the go.
