Each week, Elevated Weekly explores the escapes, objects, rituals and experiences shaping the future of contemporary luxury through a carefully curated edit of global discoveries. Four signals. One weekly edit.
From the opening of Gran Hotel Margalida’s coastal sanctuary in Banyalbufar and RIMOWA’s permanent ‘Ink Blue’ travel collection to Dior Spa’s lagoon-inspired wellness retreat at Hotel Cipriani in Venice and Loewe Perfumes’ botanical gelato pop-up at The Dreamery in London, this week’s selection explores how design, craftsmanship, wellbeing and culture continue to shape positive luxury.
The Escape: Gran Hotel Margalida Debuts in Mallorca
Perched above the historic terraced slopes of Banyalbufar, Gran Hotel Margalida opens as an adult-only 29-room sanctuary on Mallorca’s northwest coast. The retreat reinterprets Mediterranean luxury, combining restored traditional architecture with private sea-view terraces, hydrotherapy circuits, bespoke wellness clinics, and refined seasonal gastronomy overlooking the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
The Object: RIMOWA Releases the Permanent ‘Ink Blue’ Collection
Crafted inside the Cologne ateliers in Germany, RIMOWA officially releases its ‘Ink Blue’ collection, introducing a deep midnight hue to its signature lineup. The release anodizes the rich shade into the brand’s iconic grooved aluminium Original suitcases, alongside a curated series of leather cross-body bags, travel wallets, and luxury denim accessories.

Designed by architect Peter Marino, the two-floor wellness retreat houses five private treatment cabins, offering bespoke Venetian facial protocols, microcurrent light therapies, and holistic body rituals inspired by the serene spirit of the lagoon.
