Over time, and through subtle improvements and extensions, it has become one of the most distinctive hotels on the eastern part of the island. The last of the alterations, meant to celebrate the Mediterranean light and the location’s idyllic bond with nature, turned the hotel into much more than just a holiday destination.

With his wife Lis & family he later moved to another house designed by himself, Can Feliz. The architecture is very solid and simple. A small window allows light to funnel in to the living space at a certain time of year and time of day. The views over the Mediterranean are fantastic and the exterior space uses beautiful chunky stone benches by the architect. This second home on Majorca has been described as a miniature acropolis.
