Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Limited Edition recently debuted Son Bunyola Hotel in Mallorca, Spain. The opening follows the restoration of the 16th-century country estate (finca) overlooking the Tramuntana Mountains. The property joins three existing luxurious private villas on the 1,300-acre estate.

“This is such an exciting time as we launch the first European hotel for Virgin Limited Edition. And I couldn’t be prouder of this passion project that will undoubtedly live up to all of the Virgin Limited Edition values and experiences in one of the most incredible locations in Mallorca,” said Vincent Padioleau, general manager, Son Bunyola Hotel and Villas.

Son Bunyola Hotel is home to 26 guestrooms and suites, including The Tafona, where the estate’s historic olive press was located. Guests may choose from two restaurants, including a Mediterranean restaurant and a tapas concept, helmed by executive chef Samuel G. Galdón. The property’s wellness offerings include two spa treatment rooms, a 90-foot-plus pool, aqua bikes, pickleball, tennis, outdoor yoga, and walks around the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage site.

Down to Earth: Find Your Element for the Ultimate Customized Spa Experience at Chuan Spa

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda

Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
