Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort: a sustainable All-inclusive stay that brings a Caribbean concept to the Mediterranean

 

Picture a nearby paradise where you can relax, have fun, and connect with nature in a single place. Picture having everything you could want on vacation at your fingertips. Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort, fully renovated in 2023, has put all its heart into turning this dream into reality. After years of success in the Caribbean, Iberostar brings its All-inclusive concept to the Mediterranean. The destination? Playa de Muro, in Mallorca, which was chosen as the best beach in Spain and the third best in Europe in 2022 by Tripadvisor users. It has also received recognition on numerous occasions for ecological balance and sustainability.

 

Here, white sand and turquoise waters stretch for almost four miles, contrasting with dunes and pine forests. Located on the beachfront, this resort includes the Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa and Iberostar Selection Albufera Park hotels, along with their shared areas. At Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa, you will find double rooms and suites, making it perfect for couples and small groups. Meanwhile, Iberostar Selection Albufera Park features family rooms and large customizable rooms to ensure a comfortable stay for the whole family. When you stay at either of these hotels, you will have access to the facilities and activities at both. Thus, you will have the full experience, no matter what you choose.

 

The All-inclusive offer features 10 bars and restaurants, including Kyknos, serving Greek and Mediterranean cuisine; Nopal, a Mexican cantina offering fantastic live music and tacos; and Martinete, a tapas bar that pays homage to Spanish culinary traditions. You can also enjoy the ice cream parlor (always a hit with children), the 24-hour Star Café, the Terral and Mistral buffets, and the Tamarindos beach grill and buffet. You will have access to 7 indoor and outdoor pools, including the Aquafun children’s pool, and you can enjoy SPA Sensations. There are also exclusive Star Prestige areas, with an adults-only rooftop that includes a pool with views over Bahía de Palma. At the Star Camp children’s program, little ones can have loads of fun while learning how to care for the planet. Enjoy excursions on foot, rent bicycles, and practice water sports. Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort is a world of its own just waiting to be explored, and it is surrounded by the gorgeous S’Albufera Natural Park.

 

The best sustainable All-inclusive resort next to S’Albufera Natural Park

Each year, 250 species of migratory birds travel through S’Albufera de Mallorca Natural Park. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals live in harmony among the native plants that grow in these wetlands. The park’s flora and fauna inspired the new decor at Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa and Iberostar Selection Albufera Park, serving as a constant reminder that you are relaxing next to an extraordinary ecosystem. 

In the refurbishment of the resort, sustainable materials were used, including recycled wood and paper. In addition, solar panels were installed to harness the sun’s energy to produce electricity. Winnow technology in the kitchens prevents food waste, and—just like all other Iberostar hotels—Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort has been free of single-use plastics since 2020.

Most of the fish and seafood served at the resort comes from responsible fishing sources. In addition, fresh, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients are used. This not only promotes local production but also is part of a healthy Mediterranean diet. The revamped menus include more vegetarian and plant-based options.

Without a doubt, the refreshed Iberostar Selection Albufera Resort transforms the All-inclusive concept, bringing it from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, with sustainability at its core. Here and now, this idea is being brought to life on the island of Mallorca, so you can enjoy a vacation where respect for the environment is a given, in exclusive accommodation next to the beach, with every comfort at your fingertips.
