Four Seasons Mallorca Elevates Guest Experience with Wooden RFID Wristbands
Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor sits at the tip of a dramatic peninsula where pine-covered mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea. When the resort sought to replace conventional plastic access cards with something that reflected the raw beauty of their surroundings, they turned to PrintPlast.
The result: handcrafted wooden RFID wristbands made from African sapele wood and organic cotton — a wearable blend of Mediterranean craftsmanship and modern access technology.

Where Mountains Meet the Mediterranean
Formentor has drawn visitors for over a century, captivated by its turquoise coves, ancient olive groves, and the Serra de Tramuntana rising sharply behind the shoreline. Four Seasons took over this storied property and reimagined it as a contemporary Mediterranean sanctuary — one where nature is central to every guest interaction.
A plastic key card felt out of place in that setting. PrintPlast's wristbands give guests something they can wear from the beach to the spa to dinner, always carrying their room access with them in a way that feels natural and unobtrusive.
Sapele Wood: Warmth with Character
PrintPlast selected sapele — a richly toned African hardwood — for the Mallorca wristbands. Each tag is precision-cut and laser-engraved with the Four Seasons crest. The deep reddish-brown grain gives every piece a unique pattern, echoing the warm earth tones of the Mallorcan landscape.
"Sapele's natural warmth and rich colour complement the Mediterranean palette of terracotta, stone, and sea. Each wristband becomes a small piece of the resort experience guests carry with them."

Built for Resort Life
Guests at Formentor spend their days moving between the pool, private beach, mountain trails, and indoor spaces. A wristband needs to keep up:
- Water-resistant coating withstands pool chemicals and saltwater swims
- Organic cotton strap dries quickly and stays comfortable on sun-warmed skin
- Adjustable closure fits securely without restricting movement
No more pockets, no more forgotten cards at the front desk — just a tap of the wrist for room entry, pool access, and resort amenities.
From the infinity pool to the private beach — wristbands stay comfortable all day
Contactless Technology Inside
Embedded within the sapele wood tag is a 13.56 MHz RFID chip, completely invisible to the wearer. The technology delivers:
- Instant door access with a wrist tap
- Poolside and beach club entry
- Spa and wellness facility recognition
- Cashless charging across resort outlets
No batteries, no Bluetooth pairing — just reliable proximity-based access that works every time, even when wet.
Sustainability in Every Detail
The Balearic Islands face growing environmental pressure from tourism, and Four Seasons Mallorca has made sustainability a guiding principle. Replacing thousands of single-use PVC cards with reusable wooden wristbands directly reduces plastic waste flowing through the property each season.
A Souvenir Guests Keep
Unlike a plastic card that's returned at checkout, these wristbands become part of the memory. The natural beauty of the sapele tag — with its laser-engraved Four Seasons emblem — means many guests take theirs home as a keepsake from their Mediterranean escape.
