There wasn’t a party in sight earlier this month as the sun set over the Grand Hotel Son Net, in the rural village of Puigpunyent in Mallorca. Instead, as the stone buildings turned golden, the only soundtrack was the bleating of the sheep that lived on the estate. I felt calm and restored.
Last time I visited the Spanish island, in 2018, I took a budget flight from London to Palma and spent most of my time swimming in the sea, surrounded by Brits. Club hits blasted from the beach, its rowdy crowds drunk on G&Ts.
