Look no further than Cap Rocat. Very intimate & secluded. They do not allow kids under 15 though, that's a deal breaker or selling point depending on your travel plans.
I'd avoid both Jumeirah and St Regis at all costs... they turn into a zoo, especially during high season.

Now to see if work will foot the bill

As soon as I know more on this one I will be posting information here (as well as on my blog). I am sure this will be a fabulous property!

Thanks for the clarification! Definitely my top choice at this time along with Can Simoneta which looks just as nice with beach and slightly lower rates. Can Simoneta looks more intimate which should mean a more relaxing stay.
Any further comments on the two are appreciated!

Cap Rocat looks really nice. Which accommodation type is the best? It seems their largest suite is El Cabo but there is no view from the swimming pool, while Sentinels suite indicates 'infinity plunge pool' which may be more appealing. Thanks in advance for your advice.

I don't think anything could be more intimate than Cap Rocat - it only has 28 rooms and suites. Most a Amanlike - i.e. junior-suite style.
The 3 new sentinel suites are built into the rock, where the guns used to be, so they are not exactly suites, but quite snug rooms, with 2 bathrooms. The bed faces the terrace, which has a jacuzzi and a fair amount of space, with very good sea views below. Bit small for me.
The best suite is probably El Cabo which is differently furnished from the rest - very private & with a pool and garden.
Avoid the small Fortaleza rooms. The Cap Rocat Suites, which are all a bit different in size and shape are the nicest - a lot bigger than the new sentinel suites. Try for one with a large terrace overlooking the sea.
Decor is very simple, rustic stuff, but comfortable - probably more comfortable than most Amans.

We ended up booking a Junior Suite in the beach house building at Can Simoneta for our stay in August. (Cap Rocat wasn't available) Will post details on the stay when we return since there isn't much information available on FT on the property.

Ill visit Majorca for a congress and stay 4 nights at the St. Regis. I think about a few additional nights at Jumeirah or Cap Rocat. Im alone and not sure if the Suite at Cap Rocat is really worth the extra money (I know my speach over the last years ). Is it mainly the Terrace or is the room/ bathroom significant bigger?
