The Soul of Hotel BonSol
Welcome to BonSoul, the online boutique of Hotel BonSol!
Discover an exquisite selection of carefully curated products for all those who love Hotel BonSol, the SUN, Mallorca, and the Mediterranean lifestyle. In our online boutique, you’ll find a variety of items designed to bring back memories of your Mallorcan holiday — evoking the wonderful sensations of slow summer days under the Balearic sun.
The three core values of the Hotel BonSol Resort & SPA motto —sun for the body, peace for the spirit, and warmth for the heart— guide the meticulous selection of BonSoul products. This motto has remained a constant since the hotel’s founding in 1953 by the pioneering couple, Antonio and Roger Xamena — a legacy lovingly upheld today by the current owners and managers, Martín Antonio and Lorraine Xamena, together with their children Alejandro and Natalia Xamena.
The spirit of BonSoul is reflected in every product, crafted by artisans, designers, and artists who keep alive the iconic and warm Mediterranean style that infuses every corner of Mallorca and the Balearic Islands.
Step into our little Mediterranean world, full of SUN and positive emotions, and take a piece of our BonSol and Mallorca home with you…
Natalia Elena Xamena Starkey
Founder of BONSOUL and third-generation member of the Hotel BonSol Resort & SPA family.
Natalia Xamena grew up in the magnificent surroundings of Hotel BonSol, enveloped by light, greenery, SUN and sea, alongside her family. Her adventurous and cosmopolitan spirit led her to explore the world — from running through the corridors of the family business to living, studying and working in countries such as Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy. During those years away from paradise, she studied at the prestigious EHL hospitality school in Lausanne and specialised in the luxury sector, working with some of the most exclusive wellness, beauty, and fashion brands in Barcelona, Paris, and Rome.
In 2019, she finally returned to her native Mallorca, where she passionately balanced her role as a mother, her work at a prestigious contemporary art gallery on the island, and her contributions to Hotel BonSol. Then, in 2022, she chose to dedicate herself fully to the hotel alongside her brother, together forming the third generation of this distinguished establishment.
Her love for fashion, design and art, combined with years of experience in the luxury sector, led her to create a merchandise line for Hotel BonSol in 2022. These souvenirs, eagerly snapped up by guests season after season, gave rise to the birth of BONSOUL…
BonSoul is the embodiment of the soul of Hotel BonSol — an online boutique where you’ll find everything that brings back memories of your holidays at Hotel BonSol, in Mallorca, and by extension, the Balearic Islands, with the Mediterranean lifestyle as the backdrop.
