GO PRIVATE IN PALMA
Mallorca, a perennial favourite for the euro-chic, has a new enticement, in the form of a new private wing at the ultra-swanky Puro Hotel in Palma. With 11 suites, the wing is available for private hire and connected to the restored 18th century townhouse hotel so you can use the amenities.
