Cafestore has opened ISLA St, its new restaurant brand at Palma de Mallorca airport, a pioneering space in design and travel experience for the food market concept.
This food court features outlets of Juan Valdez, Rodilla and Beher, three carefully selected international brands making their debut at Palma airport for travelers of mostly German, British and Spanish origin.
"The core concept was to create a food court that, in its name and design, would mirror the essence of Palma de Mallorca within the airport itself. It's envisioned as a tranquil space for travelers to fondly extend their vacation until they reach the boarding gate", explains Hernando Martín, Director of Cafestore.
Mediterranean colors
The result is a space that evokes the essence of Mallorca through local materials, Mediterranean colors and cultural nods that transport the passenger to authentic island life.
The gastronomic offer is structured around three strategic allies: Juan Valdez, a world leader in coffee of origin and first entry into Spanish airports; Rodilla, which arrives for the first time on the islands with its iconic sandwiches; and Beher, with the most complete proposal of Iberian pork products in airports and its own shop in Salamanca.
The experience is enriched with different areas to taste the products, qualified ham cutters and a service designed to speed up flows without losing the close and multilingual treatment.
Open and organic market
The interior design, inspired by the sea, wood and Mediterranean architecture, turns the place into an open and organic market. Ceilings with sailor's sails, hydraulic ceramics and rustic cladding recreate an immersive environment that connects with the identity of Palma.
More than a gastronomic space, ISLA St is the last memento: a memory that accompanies the traveler until the moment of boarding.
