Spain has opened its first women-only hotel on the island of Mallorca.

According to The Independent, the Som Dona Hotel, near Porto Cristo, exclusively caters to women aged 14 years and above. It aims to offer “a new space for women who are looking to disconnect from the stress of daily life”.

The four-star hotel has 39 rooms and offers a pool, spa, library and a roof-top terrace. Apart from that wellness services at the hotel include massages, treatments, a whirlpool tub and solarium, along with locally sourced food, “flexitarian gastronomy” and healthy and sustainable cuisine. Guests can also participate in excursions around the island and cultural activities.

According to the advertisements, Som Dona welcomes women of all sexual orientations, solo travellers, couples, mothers and daughters and larger groups.

No men, including late-night gentlemen, are allowed on the hotel premises. However, it does employ men keeping with Spanish gender discrimination laws even though priority is given to female staff.

Women going on solo trips has seen a rise in recent years despite the fact that they have to take more factors into consideration than men. Som Hotels president, Joan Enric Capellá, said surveys conducted by the group revealed that female customers liked the idea of a women-only hotel.

Double rooms at Som Dona start at $78 (13,000 rupees approx) per night only.
