Hotel Renovation and Construction in Banyalbufar, Mallorca
An exceptional hospitality project in the Serra de Tramuntana, where architectural restoration, complex construction and respect for the Mediterranean landscape come together.
The Gran Hotel Margalida by Annua Signature Hotels, located in Banyalbufar, in the heart of Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana, is one of the most distinctive hotel renovation and construction projects undertaken by Construcciones Llull Sastre.
Formerly home to the Hotel Mar i Vent, the property has undergone a comprehensive transformation, combining the preservation of traditional Mallorcan architecture with the technical and functional requirements of a contemporary luxury hotel.
The project encompasses four buildings: three extensively refurbished existing structures and one newly constructed building, carefully integrated into Banyalbufar's distinctive topography and architectural surroundings.
Structural Renovation and Complex Construction Works
The transformation of Gran Hotel Margalida presented significant technical and logistical challenges, particularly due to the steep terrain, restricted access conditions and the need to preserve the architectural identity of the existing buildings.
The renovation works involved extensive structural interventions to adapt the original buildings to their new functional and construction requirements. In one of the buildings, approximately 90% of the existing floor slabs were replaced, ensuring structural stability, safety and long-term durability.
The construction of the new building required specialist micropiling works and excavation extending up to three levels below street level. Its structure incorporates reinforced concrete floor slabs, designed to meet demanding technical requirements while respecting the surrounding built environment.
These operations required meticulous planning, specialist construction solutions and continuous coordination between the teams involved throughout the project.
Mediterranean Architecture and Heritage Preservation
A central objective of the project was to preserve the architectural character of Banyalbufar and its close relationship with the landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana.
The restoration of traditional stone terraces, the use of natural materials and the careful integration of the building volumes preserve the property's Mediterranean identity while introducing contemporary spaces dedicated to comfort and wellbeing.
The hotel features a spa, fitness facilities, communal areas, Mediterranean gardens and panoramic terraces, all designed to strengthen the connection between architecture and landscape.
Among its most distinctive features is the outdoor infinity pool, seamlessly integrated into the terraced setting and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its construction required particular attention to architectural detailing and landscape integration.
