Whether it’s the opulent Gatsby-esque interiors, a leafy secluded garden or sophisticated plant-centric dining, few can resist the charms of the Can Bordoy. The sensuous suites at this romantic hotel in Mallorca are particularly couple friendly, with deep soaking tubs, mood lighting and extra-large beds that you won’t want to leave. Book yourselves in for a couples’ massage and get exclusive use of the luxe spa, too.

The small mountain village of Deià is considered to be one of the most magical on the island – its peaks are rumoured to give off magnetic vibrations.

A former haunt of Hollywood royalty, Nixe Palace, set on Cala Major cove, still exudes an air of old-school romance.

By day, float with your beau in the heated outdoor pool while admiring the sea views, or head to the spa and choose from a long list of exotic treatments. Splash out for an attic suite and relax in the Jacuzzi.

If pampering gets you in the mood for romance, head to the St Regis Mardaval. Featuring one of the biggest spas in the Mediterranean, it offers everything from Swedish couples’ massages to traditional Chinese medicine.

Come evening, a romantic meal in this Mallorca hotel’s one-Michelin-starred Es Fum restaurant is guaranteed to stimulate the senses.

For twosomes looking for lively nightlife, Elba Sunset Mallorca has some serious fiesta potential nearby. Although it neighbours the Magaluf party zone, the hotel is the picture of swish serenity.

A chocolate-themed treatment might also sweeten the mood.

This grand 17th-century estate has gained a reputation as one of the finest hotels in Europe.

If you are looking to whisk your loved one off to somewhere remote, then Ca’s Xorc provides just that. A long private driveway cuts deep into a thickly wooded hilltop above the town of Sóller. And there’s little else within eyeshot except the breathtaking surrounds of the Tramuntana sierra. Lush gardens surrounding this 18th-century former olive mill turned romantic Majorcan hotel offer secluded spots to spend quality couple time and there’s an infinity pool and sunken hot tub.

While the town of Campos won’t be on most travellers’ romantic radars, it’s worth visiting for this fabulous five-star hotel alone.

In the evening, dial up the romance in either of the two hotel dining experiences – they’re considered among the best in town.

Hotel Llenaire is a picture of bucolic bliss. The fourth generation of the Colom Muntaner clan have transformed a 19th-century farmstead into a fabulous rural romantic hotel in Mallorca, while maintaining its agricultural heritage of sheep, vegetable gardens and fruit trees.

This vintage five-star hotel has been a favourite with romancing couples since Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco honeymooned here in 1956, and it’s easy to see why.

The setting is particularly swoon-inducing, set in the picturesque peninsular of Formentor, surrounded by scented pine forests and overlooking one of Mallorca’s prettiest beaches. Ask for suite 322, aka the Grace Kelly Suite, for some serious romantic vibes.

A top-end suite featuring sea-view hot tubs for two will really blow the budget.

For a more quirky stay, there’s a circular duplex room converted from an ancient water tower. A panoramic swimming pool, deluxe spa, and the only two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the Balearics complete a super-swanky – and uber-romantic – package.

Housed in a restored 18th-century Jesuit monastery, the Son Brull combines historic architecture with 21st-century design.
