Iberostar is going green with its latest five star resort

Sustainable management features include heat insulation glass windows that reflect sunlight to ensure unspoilt views, geothermal heating that uses the ground’s heat to generate hot and cold water, and saltwater chlorination technology to recycle seawater for the hotel pools.

Transport arranged by the hotel has also gone green with each of the four penthouse suites including use of a BMW i3 electric car.

Grand Hotel Portal Nous is awash with postmodern edginess, a trademark of designer Marcel Wanders, who crafted the hotel’s image. Responsible for Louis Vuitton store window displays and billed by the New York Times as the Lady GaGa of design, the Dutchman took perfection to the next level.

“When he saw the finished build of the spa, he didn’t like it. He made the builders tear up the floor, which had been meticulously laid brick by brick, and start it again,” Gonzalez said.

Wanders has also applied his skills in the appearance of the hotel’s six themed suites, priced from €633 per person per night. The Heritage Suite is decked out in antiques and classic art to evoke the appearance of the most glamorous hotels of the last century. For lovers of space, the Stargazer Suite with its star-map floor and telescope allows uninhibited views of the Majorcan sky. Relaxation is key in the Spa Suite and clients can make use of their own indoor spa and private pool, while the Games Suite has board games, a PlayStation 4 and a putting green.

Perhaps the most taboo are the two Naughty Suites. With a dancing pole, a bed with a mirrored ceiling and a large bath with a glass shower enclosure, sensuality is a top priority.

“These particular rooms have been completely booked up. They really seem to have struck a chord with people,” Gonzalez said.
