History
ZEL Mallorca is the first hotel of ZEL, the lifestyle brand launched in 2022 by tennis champion Rafael Nadal in partnership with Melia Hotels International (both Mallorca-born). It opened at the end of June 2023 (official opening 29 June 2023) on Palmanova beach in Calvia, near Nadal's home island's capital of Palma.
The 165-room hotel - including 21 suites and junior suites - occupies a beachfront building that had previously operated under Melia's Innside brand (as Cala Blanca), redeveloped to embody a 'born in the Mediterranean' concept of open, light-filled spaces, a spa, two pools and the Beso Beach restaurant.
