An ultra-hip, super-chilled option with a rather surreal 'Zen meets Barbarella' interior. The peaceful, daytime ambience lasts until evening, when DJs spin cool tunes for those who like to be seen. Not for traditionalists, it attracts men with goatee beards and designer eyeglasses, and willowy women in floaty white linen. Boasts a slick beach club and spa at Cala Estancia, which offers yoga and a range of alternative treatments - guests can be ferried there in a customised Hummer vehicle. Also has its own web radio station, and styles itself 'an urban oasis'. Poseurs welcome.
