Mallorca tourism will gain another high-end hospitality showcase on September 6, 2026, when Chapeau Palma headlines the Sunset Sessions programme at Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor.
The evening will bring together signature cocktails, creative tapas and live entertainment at Cercle Bar from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Set against the natural surroundings of the Formentor peninsula, the event will highlight how Mallorca’s luxury hospitality sector is increasingly using curated culinary experiences to attract experience-led travellers.
Chapeau Palma will bring its Mediterranean-inspired cocktail identity to the resort as part of a collaboration marking the bar’s tenth anniversary. The event will feature several signature creations alongside cocktails from Cercle Bar and a tapas menu prepared by Executive Sous Chef Javier Hoebeeck.
For Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor, the programme strengthens its positioning as more than an accommodation destination. The resort is increasingly building guest experiences around gastronomy, nature, entertainment and Mallorca’s distinctive Mediterranean setting.
Chapeau Palma brings signature cocktails to Formentor
Chapeau Palma will present four cocktails from its latest menu during the Sunset Sessions event.
Bartenders Mateo Tolosa and Rodrigo Álvarez will showcase the Tinder Martini, featuring grapefruit and passion fruit notes, alongside De Famoso no tiene nada, which combines citrus, smoky and floral influences.
Guests will also be able to try the Dirty Bamboo Highball, inspired by the character of Jerez wines, and Figoni, which incorporates fig leaf and red berry flavours.
The appearance comes as Chapeau Palma celebrates ten years of cocktail craftsmanship. Several recognised creations have been revived for its anniversary menu, connecting the bar’s history with its current approach to contemporary mixology.
The collaboration also adds a Palma-based hospitality identity to one of Mallorca’s most internationally recognised resort locations.
Four Seasons expands experience-led luxury tourism
Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor occupies a secluded position on the Formentor peninsula, surrounded by pine forests, Mediterranean coastline and dramatic natural scenery.
The property has increasingly promoted experiences that connect guests with the destination rather than focusing exclusively on traditional resort services.
Its official guest programme includes coastal activities, vineyard experiences, sunset excursions and other experiences built around Mallorca’s landscapes and culinary culture.
The Sunset Sessions concept extends that strategy into food, beverage and entertainment.
Previous editions have involved collaborations with venues including Brassclub and Fitz Bar, while the September event continues the resort’s focus on bringing specialist hospitality talent into its bars and restaurants.
Cercle Bar will also present several of its own creations during the evening. These include Euterpe, combining tomato water and jasmine, and 1930, featuring citrus and spice characteristics.
The Shelter incorporates burnt orange and caramelised honey notes, while Colores combines blueberries with roses.
Mediterranean tapas enhance the evening
Food will play an equally important role in the September event.
Executive Sous Chef Javier Hoebeeck will prepare a tapas selection designed to complement the relaxed cocktail format.
The menu will include crispy corn tortilla, red tuna carpaccio, cherry tomatoes, cochinita pibil taco and red prawn aguachile. Other options will include brioche steak tartare, a wagyu cecina sandwich and warm ensaimada.
Instead of fixed food-and-cocktail pairings, guests will be able to choose their preferred combinations.
The Sunset Sessions package will cost EUR 45 and include two drinks and two tapas-sized dishes.
That flexible format reflects a wider shift within luxury hospitality toward informal but carefully curated dining experiences. Travellers increasingly seek social occasions that combine destination atmosphere with premium food and beverage concepts.
Formentor strengthens Mallorca’s premium tourism offer
Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor has built a wider seasonal programme around culinary collaborations and destination-focused events.
Four Hands Dinners and Social Table gatherings at the historic Finca Cases Velles form part of the resort’s approach to bringing together visiting talent, gastronomy and local surroundings.
The property itself also contributes to Mallorca’s premium tourism positioning. Four Seasons describes the resort as a secluded Mediterranean retreat with direct access to Formentor Beach, coastal scenery and a long hospitality history dating to the original property’s opening in 1929.
Its location near Cap de Formentor also gives visitors access to one of Mallorca’s most distinctive landscapes. The peninsula is known for dramatic viewpoints, sea views and sunset experiences.
Culinary experiences support Mallorca tourism
Events such as Sunset Sessions demonstrate how gastronomy is becoming increasingly important to destination competitiveness.
Visitors are no longer choosing luxury hotels only for rooms, pools and beaches. Many now look for memorable experiences that connect hospitality with local character, entertainment and social interaction.
Mallorca is particularly well positioned for this trend because its tourism offer combines Mediterranean cuisine, coastal scenery, historic towns, vineyards and established luxury resorts.
The collaboration between Chapeau Palma and Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor brings several of these elements together in one evening.
By combining contemporary mixology, creative tapas, music and the Formentor sunset, the September 6 event will offer visitors another reason to experience Mallorca through its evolving hospitality culture.
For the island’s tourism sector, such experiences strengthen Mallorca’s ability to compete for travellers seeking not simply accommodation, but distinctive Mediterranean moments built around food, place and atmosphere.
