YOU can now stay inside Richard Brandon's brand new resort in Spain complete with a 91ft swimming pool.
The Son Bunyola Hotel in Majorca recently opened its doors to guests.
Businessman Sir Richard Branson first brought the Son Bunyola estate, where the hotel is located, in the late 1990s, but he sold the plot in 2002 before buying it back again in 2015.
Richard Branson told Forbes: "We’ll never make much money out of these projects. They are expressions of love."
And it seems like there's plenty of love to go around on the 1300-acre estate.
Set on a UNESCO World Heritage site, the resort has 26-bedrooms including two superior guest suites.

Each of the rooms has its own complimentary mini-bar, which is fully-stocked with drinks and snacks.
The rooms are also home to other smaller details too including bathrobes and espadriles that guests are allowed to use.
Meanwhile, the two Superior Suites have 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and sea.
They also have their own private outdoor space as well as a separate bath and shower area.

Despite being a family-friendly hotel with its pool toys, high-chairs and cots, there's also a well-stoked bar with spirits too.
But perhaps the most impressive part of the hotel is its 91ft swimming pool with panoramic views across the estate.
The hotel also has its own wellness programme that includes outdoor yoga sessions and historical walks.
There are also two restaurants at the hotel, a Mediterranean restaurant and a tapas restaurant, as well as several outdoor dining terraces.
Meanwhile the hotel grounds are lined with newly-planted olive trees and vines.
You can also pay extra for spa treatments, local excursions and transfers to and from Palma Airport.
There are also a few more finishing touches set to come including the arrival of donkeys and goats as well as a vegetable garden.
Another holiday cottage with 12 more suites is set to open in 2025 with more to be revealed soon.
Rooms start from €600 (£527) a night on a B&B basis, although kids under six stay for free.
Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group said: "Today is a momentous day as we open our beautiful hotel, Son Bunyola.
"The northwest coast of Mallorca has long held a very special place in my heart, after first visiting as a young boy with my Mum and Dad."
There are three private villas open on-site next to the hotel too.
You can choose from the five-bedroomed Sa Punta De S’Aguila, or the Sa Terra Rotja and Son Balagueret, each with four bedrooms.
If you want to go somewhere a bit further, Richard Branson's private Moskito Island has an ultra-luxurious new estate – and it includes a two-story infinity pool and glass bottom hot tub.
