I have gone to this place and the food seems horrible to me since I have ordered an escalope with potatoes and vegetables, it arrived in 5 minutes and I tried it, the escalope tasted very strange, the potatoes were good and the only bad thing was the vegetable salad the tomato that was damaged. They charged me €20 for everything, the waitress's treatment was good but to eat this I think it was the biggest food scam. I do not recommend the place besides that the location that was on Google maps was elsewhere so customers or tourists do not see the bad reputation and the bad food they serve. ( in the picture the tomatoes are down of the salad)

We were a large group that ate here the service was great the woman was attentive and really grateful for our custom given the amount of money we spent. We watched the football here and the atmosphere was great. The food was a mixed bag some of the group had fillet steak which was really good, the peppered steak got mixed reviews, the paella wasn’t great and was quite bitter, the chick and mushroom dish was delicious as were the pizzas and pastas. Everything was well priced.

Ate here twice whilst on holiday. Food, drinks and service all spot on! Throughly enjoyed our meals (everyone had different things each time, chicken, pasta and hubby had steak and said it was cooked perfectly. Portion sizes were big) and cocktails/mocktails. Paid around €100 for a family of four to have main meals, drinks and crepes. Our 9yr old said the crepes were the 'best ever'! Just watch out for the wasps!!

We arrived at this restaurant, sat down over 2 tables as there was 8 of us, we were not greeted by staff, one of us got up to get a menu, took a while for the staff to take our order, our food did seem quite long to come out ( we took kids over to the park across the road for abit while we waited) we were talking about staying after food and getting some cocktails. Our food came out, myself and my friend had grilled salmon, this wasn't grilled as stated in the menu, my friend couldn't finish hers as it was soggy and cold. My husband and my friends partner orderd the burgers, my husbands was cooked but our friends was pretty pink, he likes his steak blue so he wasnt to worried but as he gt half way through the burger it was getting more and more raw, he couldn't finish it, the chips say luxury but they were the same as my chips but just in a metal frying pan. We saw someone on the other table complaining about her burger so after we said about ours being to raw, she took the plate to show the chef, we thought this was all in hand, then the manager asked if everything was ok, we replyed yes thank you! We didn't wana complain again for the same thing. The lady who took our plate came bk with the bill, we asked if they could take the beer of that cost £4.95 for the half burger we couldn't finish, manager came back over shouting at us " you said everything was fine!" Well it was.. someone was dealing with it... She then asked where the burger was! We said your staff took the plate... The manager was so rude towards us..no apology at the start for the crap food, in the end.. they took the burger off! My husband went for a burger as you cant mess up a burger but clearly this place can! We didn't stay for cocktails after this.. wouldn't recommend this place!

Good old pub food! I enjoyed a lasagne one evening and a full English one morning. Both were lovely and decent portion sizes. Well staffed and all in all a nice bar!

Stopped off on way back to hotel from the beach and had a pizza and drinks. Pizza was lovely and made fresh. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Decent prices

Dreadful pizza snatched away by waiter because it was for another table,bill waivered then curry cold and chips poured intmy lap no apology no replacement just amused staff bloody awful

Came here as a family during our stay in Calas de Mallorca, reasonable prices and an authentic pizza oven. Has a TV inside and waiting staff were good with children.

Puntuaciones y opiniones, ubicación y contacto.

Las bebidas eran geniales. Mi novio y yo visitamos aquí durante las vacaciones, parecía muy acogedor, pero cuando nos sentamos se hizo evidente que lo único que nos dieron la bienvenida fueron moscas y una avispa. Luego pedimos comida, hamburguesa con queso y papas fritas... que serían calificadas como 2/5, y nachos, pan de ajo y aros de cebolla, después de 20 minutos de espera me dijeron que los aros de cebolla no estaban disponibles, los nachos tenían un sabor muy peculiar que era el queso y no era de mi agrado, pero el tamaño de la porción era bueno, el pan de ajo no tiene sabor a ajo, solo una baguette cortada por la mitad. En general, por 23 €, iría a otro lugar. No lo recomendaría Más

Gran ambiente, muchas pantallas de televisión para los fanáticos del deporte, personal encantador y servicial y excelentes cócteles.

Gran pub, servicio amable y eficiente y maravilloso para encontrar un televisor en cada punto de vista para ver a Inglaterra vencer a Australia en la Copa Mundial de Rugby. Sin embargo, había un gran problema con las moscas que aterrizaban en todo lo que... podían. Más

Debe probar el cóctel de volcán. Bien vale la pena el dinero! Buena ubicación. Hubo un festival este fin de semana para que pudieras ver todo en el camino sin tener que estar en la multitud. Buena comida. Excelentes bebidas Gran servicio. Además, también tienen... deportes. Más

Muy encantador pub, personal amable y buena comida. ¡Es una lástima que el bar vacío de al lado tocara su música tan fuerte que no pudimos escuchar nada!

Offering perfectly cooked pizza , laing and spaghetti carbonara is the hallmark of this bar. Tasty pancakes can make a deep impression on you. The cozy atmosphere of Travellers inn allows guests to relax after a hard working day. A lot of people have noticed that the staff is good at this place. Visitors say that the service is cool here. From the guests' point of view, prices are attractive. But this spot is not highly estimated by Google users who provided it a below average rating.

The best Mallorca hotels

By Roxy Kavousi-Walker and Stephanie Rafanelli

Somewhere along the line, Mallorca lost a little of its sparkle. Perhaps it was in the 1980s when Magaluf put a slur on its reputation, and it became Majorca, all phonetics and glottal stop. Then in the 1990s, everyone went next door to party with its naughty little sister,  Ibiza .

But the smart set has never stopped going to Mallorca, unshuttering their  villas  every springtime. They come for its romantic coastline, dramatic mountainscapes, tiny bays of sapphire water, clear as gin, and terracotta-roofed villages, jumbled on hilltops. And  Palma , with its boulevards of boutiques and its labyrinthine old town full of hidden tavernas and sophisticated bars.

This is the island that has inspired generations of artists, writers, poets, musicians, since Chopin shocked the locals by turning up with his mistress, George Sand. Then came DH Lawrence, Robert Graves, Joan Miró and Anaïs Nin, all drawn to sleepy Deià , which has become a haven for artists. Jagger partied here in the 1980s, when he wasn't in Mustique. Now, in 2023, Richard Branson opened his first hotel here .

How we choose the best hotels in Mallorca

Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve. For more options, see our pick of the best family-friendly Mallorca hotels .

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

First in: Hotel Valldemossa, Mallorca Arrow

Best Mallorca hotel for: peace and quiet

A creative haven for writers and artists alike, you’ll find yourself the protagonist of this particular novel. Mornings and lazy afternoons are spent sunning on your own private veranda overlooking almond, olive, and orange trees etched into the rolling valley. Just a 20-minute drive from the city of Palma , the dramatic shift in scene from bustling shopping harbour to mountain range will make you think you’ve traversed more than mere miles. With infamous cycle routes, medical and beauty therapies and its small-town location, Hotel Valldemossa will likely become a hub for like-minded individuals looking to enjoy the best things in life: nature, self-care and great food.

Comprised of 12 unique cobblestone villas attached to the body of the manor house, there are four deluxe room types, each lovingly renovated with earthy furnishings, terracotta tones and home comforts. Breakfast is enjoyed on the sun-soaked veranda overlooking misty, dew-soaked fields while birds twitter and sheep bleat. By night, the space transforms into the bar and restaurant, De Tokio A Lima, a twin to the firstborn at Can Alomar. A seasonal proposal by Chefs German de Bernardi, the cuisine is a fusion of Japanese, Peruvian and Mediterranean flavours using products from local farmers. At the spa, wellness guru Amore practices therapies such as drainage and manual massage and uses essential oils alongside machinery such as electric cupping therapy, radiofrequency, and hydro foot baths. Not for the faint of heart, the detox programmes and lymphatic drainage can be intense, but the results are instantaneous yet lasting. Megan Wilkes

Palma Riad, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: a couples getaway

Palma’s especially well stocked when it comes to boutique boltholes, but not many have a vibe quite as sultry or exotic as this. In a restored 18th-century townhouse off the evocative Carrer De Sant Jaume near the heart of town, there’s a real purity of vision to this adults-only hotel, where Barcelona-based designer Pablo Peyra gave each of the 11 suites its own singular design. Ours was an Orientalist fantasy of chandeliers, lacquered chests and a TV hidden behind a smoked mirror, with a hammam-style bath built into a dark-tiled bathroom of chandeliers and exposed fireplaces. The prevailing sense of low-lit, velveteen opulence continues through the hotel to the ground floor bar/restaurant for classic cocktails, sauteed razor clams, Entrecote Paris and a lovely burrata salad with flambeed figs and grilled peach. It lingers even in the airy riad-style atrium, with its epic fireplace and throne-like wicker chairs, where a water feature serenely tinkles on the little pool. Toby Skinner

Address: Carrer de Sant Jaume, 5, 07012 Palma Price: doubles from about £350

Hotel Corazón

Best Mallorca hotel for: an artistic retreat

“Crystals, cacti and connection” is the promised vibe at the new Hotel Corazón, an artfully restored 15-room finca on the steep winding road between Soller and Deià, overlooking the twinkling blue off Mallorca’s west coast. The hotel is the creation of British fashion photographer Kate Bellm, known for her psychedelic sun-flared portraits of women, and her Mexican artist and cactus gardener partner, Edgar Lopez. Together they hope to celebrate the creatives and producers on the island they call home. As well as linen-draped rooms that channel hazy ’70s Balearic summers, the free-flowing space is home to a gallery, craft-driven shop and small-scale farm that feeds the locavore restaurant. With no TVs and no rules, sound baths, jam sessions and guided hikes will set a tone in keeping with Deià’s bohemian halcyon days. Corazón isn’t the only Mallorcan opening this summer promising a return to natural rhythms. Toby Skinner

Address: Carretera de Deià, km. 56, 7, 07100 Sóller, Spain Price: doubles from £317

ZEL Hotel, Palma Nova

Best Mallorca hotel for: party vibes

Simply put, this new opening from Meliá Hotels International and co-founder Rafael Nadal, is a lot of fun. It has a breezy, unpretentious attitude, all whitewashed woods, comfy sofas and seagrass finishes, befitting its choice location right on Palma Nova’s pristine beachfront. The heart of the hotel is a sweeping open-plan space where each zone spills lazily into the next, from the lobby through to the impressive triple-height dining area and out onto an expansive patio with panoramic sea views. Indeed, R&R is the order of the day, with two pools, a gym, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and aromatherapy spa to hop between – a massage here nearly sent me to sleep – plus plenty of loungers and Bali beds to loll on for the foreseeable. In the evenings, however, prepare to gear up: there are regular live music performances throughout the week and, on the weekend, bass-heavy dance beats bounce through the space after 7pm. This is Mallorca’s party hotspot, after all. If that’s not your vibe, it’s quieter outside at restaurant Beso Beach, where the food and cocktails proved a highlight of our stay. The strawberry mojito was a hit, as was a whole sea bass prepared tableside and a generous heaping of rich, salty paella. Charley Ward

Address: Carrer Duc Estremera, 16, 07181 Calvià, Illes Balears Price: From £153 per night

Grand Hotel Son Net, Mallorca hotel review Arrow

Best Mallorca hotel for: soaking up some history

Overlooking the sleepy town of Puigpunyent in the Tramuntana foothills, Son Net was already a much-loved estate hotel before its recent renovation by the owners of iconic Andalucian hotel Finca Cortesin. Now, under the guiding hand of interior designer and antiques collector Lorenzo Castillo, it’s a place of heirloom maximalism that is raising the game in Mallorca, and already has the feel of a classic. Every piece of furniture and every artwork is a genuine antique, which adds a certain magpie texturalism to each of the 31 one-off rooms, some with 17th-century frescoes, that might take inspiration from Imperial China or Moorish North Africa, but tend to have grandly oversized bathrooms. Beyond the vast Chimney Room and the classic locavore restaurant in the estate’s triple-height former olive press, lovely Renaissance-style gardens lead down terraces to the aquamarine pool and what will soon by a labyrinthine 1,000sqm spa, all Moorish arches and light gardens. With oil-painted noblemen peering from the walls, and frictionless five-star service, the overall effect is of a sort of grand tour of the imagination. Toby Skinner

Address: Castillo Son Net, 07194 Puigpunyent Price: doubles from about £1,062

Best for: rustic wilderness

Towards Pollença, The Lodge is a second property on the island from the Unico group behind the popular Finca Serena. This one, a series of angular Mallorcan stone buildings surrounded by lavender fields and olive groves on a 388-acre plot, has 24 terracotta-toned suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as an infinity pool and fire-cooking restaurant. Spend days hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana, swimming in pools (there are three to choose from) with a mountain backdrop or lazing on the white sands of Alcúdia Bay, before retiring to feast at the all-day restaurant. Helmed by chef David Martinez, think dishes of locally sourced meat and homegrown veg all slow-roasted over a crackling wood fire. Toby Skinner

Address: Salida 37 Autopista MA13 a Alcudia Vía de servicio a Pollensa Km 1, Sa Pobla 07420, Spain Price: Doubles from £420

Son Bunyola, Mallorca

Best for: coastal views

This has been one of Richard Branson’s passion projects for decades, and it’s finally been completed: a lovingly reimagined 16th-century finca set amid 1,300 acres of olive groves and vineyards with teetering views down to the sea and the Tramuntana mountains rising behind. This is Mallorca at its wildest and most original – a UNESCO World Heritage Site no less – and Son Bunyola places you right smack bang in the heart of the landscape. Open in June 2023, it’s hit the ground running, creating – like all the best hotels – a believable world of its own.

Inside the finca is the original olive press, the chapel’s altarpiece takes pride of place in the main restaurant, and the 13th-century defensive tower, rising above the tiled courtyard, now protects two suites. The swimming pool , lined with turquoise tiles and shimmering in the sunlight, is deserving of a Slim Aarons photograph or two. There are just 26 rooms here, many with original wooden rafters, and mostly set around the courtyard with views over the pool or mountains; my room, 28, had its own sitting room with brass pendants and sofas. Extremadura-born chef Samuel Galdón presents a vegetable-forward menu at the main restaurant, a second is set to open in the original olive press serving Mallorcan spins on tapas on the menu. Rick Jordan

Can Ferrereta, Santanyi

Featured on our 2022 Hot List of the best new hotels in the world

Andrés Soldevila Ferrer, a scion of the Catalan family who owns the grande-dame  Majestic Hotel  on  Barcelona ’s Passeig de Gràcia, has been a fan of Mallorca since childhood holidays with his grandparents. He first disembarked here in 2015 with the  Sant Francesc  in Palma, where the astute combination of Barcelona style and palatial Mallorcan architecture still stands out among a slew of charming old-town hotels. Looking for a country property to complement his Palma palace, he homed in on the island’s deep south and found a 17th-century mansion in a state of chronic disrepair. Its vaulted roofs and haylofts have been transformed from crumbling relics to original features that underscore a rule-breaking combination of rustic minimalism and high-end townhouse, where rugged textures coexist with Santa and Cole lamps and Carl Hansen armchairs. There’s an impressive collection of contemporary Spanish art and plenty of local input from potters, carpenters and farmers alongside fine Catalan linens (Lo de Manuela) and Italian ceramics (Bucci). Can Ferrereta calls for little exertion beyond a browse around the superb haul of work by artists such as Dominica Sánchez and Jordi Alcaraz, a salt-and-seaweed treatment at the Sa Calma spa, or a supper of modern  Mediterranean  cooking at Alvar Albaladejo’s Ocre restaurant, fast shaping up as the best in the south-east. You might need to venture outside only for a stroll around Santanyí’s pretty plaza, a tapa or two at Can Gelat, or a visit to the mesmerising, all-white wonderland of the salt flats at Es Trenc. For more, read our full review of Can Ferrereta .

La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Deia

Best hotel in Mallorca for: a sophisticated stay

Here is a hotel every bit as beautiful as it first looks. One that it would be utterly remiss of you not to visit at some point in your life. The dramatic route around thrilling hairpin bends, past sheer drops and narrow gorges, is worth enduring to get to turbo-chic Deià on Mallorca’s west coast. The English poet Robert Graves first drew everyone’s attention to the village when he moved here in 1929. Then, in 1987 Richard Branson bought La Residencia and transformed it into one of the most romantic hotels in the Mediterranean.

The vastness of the property, now owned by Belmond, is stealth-like, a warren of centuries-old buildings hidden among the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. Despite the 71 bedrooms (including, this year, six bright new suites), an art gallery, two artists’ studios, four restaurants, two outdoor pools , tennis courts, a kids’ club, and mountain trails, there is a pervading sense of space and wonderful privacy. All rooms have terraces looking out to the green-shuttered, ochre town and glittering sea, some have their own plunge pool – ideal in this sun-trap of a valley. Inside, they are big and cool with splashes of citrus shades, marshmallow-soft beds, and safes concealed behind works of art (the hotel has more than 800, of which 33 are original Mirós).

The brilliant bistro sends out tapas of jamón ibérico and chorizo cooked in cider, or there’s candlelit El Olivo, where the tasting menu is a hearty and lengthy love letter to Mallorcan gastronomy: freshly caught prawns baked on a bed of salt for just three minutes; suckling pig with a sage-and-sobrasada sauce; Sóller-orange ice cream. Each day there’s a soul-brightening boat trip along the coast, where you can play David Attenborough spotting Eleonora’s falcons and snorkel among schools of silvery fish. But the most popular pastime here is taking in that dreamy view.

Can Bordoy Grand House and Garden, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: enjoying Palma’s most characterful neighbourhood

Like many special hotels, this one is tricky to find. There are no sign posts. No terrace on the street flowing with hotel guests and a stream of waiters with spritzes. Only the discreet stone archway that leads off the square to what was once a private family home – then a school run by nuns – indicates you have arrived. Can Bordoy today has been entirely renovated by much-in-demand husband-and-wife architects Jaime Oliver and Paloma Hernaiz of OHLAB. Their aim was to respect the building’s rich heritage but to bring it up to date with contemporary notes. There’s a shady courtyard and a long, stone bar with a low-key reception area; a living room with beautiful creeping vines across the ceiling connects to a dining room and a library with views out to the back. The designers have excelled in filling this space with natural light and drama with a mix of both vintage and new furniture. Their vast, custom-made walnut beds and in-room cocktail bars with integrated stereos are real highlights. The basement spa and rooftop sundeck with 360-views and a glass-bottom plunge pool are delightful, as is the Botànic restaurant run by chef Andrés Benitez, focusing on locally sourced organic ingredients. Among the crush of boutique offerings in medieval Palma , Can Bordoy captures the true heart of the place in a way worthy of the moment.

Sant Francesc Hotel Singular, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: personal touches

In peaceful Sant Francesc Square, adjacent to the 13th-century church of the same name, this hotel has certain anonymity while being in the heart of the historic quarter of Palma’s old town. From a platinum-pedigree family of hoteliers, owner Andrés Soldevila Ferrer embarked on the refurbishment of this 19th-century palace and turned it into a savvy showstopper with an independent spirit. Thoughtful extras in the rooms include a handy waterproof bag for wet swimwear and the gift of a black handbook with the owner’s favourite island haunts. In the process of its transformation, table number 42 (where Michelle Obama once dined) has become a must-have in the Quadrat Restaurant & Garden. Formerly the stables, the kitchen serves fresh, seasonal  Mediterranean  stuff – the signature dish of scarlet shrimp  socarrat  rice created with the island’s famed Soller red prawns is moreish and creamy thanks to preparation in a traditional paella pan. At breakfast, try traditional ensaïmada, snail-shaped pastries made by renowned bakery C’an Joan de S’aigo. Anna Nicholas

Esplendido, Port de Sóller

Best Mallorca hotel for: families

A seriously useful Spanish address to have up your sleeve, this green-shuttered, balustraded 1950s hotel is tucked away on the north-west coast in Port de Sóller, a horseshoe-shaped scoop out of the Tramuntana mountains. It's a million miles from the egg-and-chips package tours of Magaluf. Here you have a rather charming seaside town, a pedestrianised waterfront, a curving stretch of sand backed by tavernas and beach restaurants, and the Esplendido right in the very middle.

Swedish couple Mikael and Johanna Landström (who also own the Hotel Portixol in Palma ) have transformed it from rather fusty-dusty traditional lodgings into a gleaming-fresh temple of Scandinavian chic. The bright and airy bedrooms, retro-cool with mid-century armchairs and fern-frond-printed wallpaper, have views either out to the water or to the terraced gardens behind, planted with olive trees, red geranium and bougainvillaea. And because there's no traffic, you really can go to sleep to the sound of waves lapping the shore.

Your mini-bar comes stocked with complimentary drinks; the wardrobes contain help-yourself flip-flops and beach bags; bathrooms are loaded with thick, white towels and delicious Korres bottles in the showers. Mineral water by the bed is topped up nightly and the Wi-Fi is free and everywhere. If your brood is made up of under-10s, they'll love the electric juicer at the breakfast bar, with bowls of grapefruits, oranges, limes and lemons ready to be squeezed.

There's a kids' menu in the bistro, a family pool (and one for the grown-ups), baby bedding, highchairs and cots all available, as well as junior treatments in the spa . While there's no kids' club, the shallow waters of the bay are great for timid paddlers and eager snorkellers, and there are pedalos for those needing to burn off excess energy as well as boat trips out of the harbour to coves further up the coast. In the early evening, when temperatures cool, take the wooden tram to Sóller town for a drink while the youngsters wheel around the smooth stones in the main square. And if you manage to get everyone to bed in time when you're back, make a beeline for one of the striped, nautical chairs on the terrace. Order a stiff gin and tonic and marvel as the sun drops straight between the cliffs and sets behind the bobbing boats.

INSIDER TIP If you ask to be in a room on one of the lower floors, you'll find your baby-monitor signal reaches to the restaurant.

Es Raco D'Arta, near Artà

Best Mallorca hotel for: a tranquil stay

Architect/designer Antoni Esteva and his long-time associate and builder Jaume Danús are behind some of Mallorca’s most fascinating hotel projects, but this is their best yet. The traditional possessió , or estate, sprawls across acres of glorious countryside in the island’s pristine north-east corner, with elements of monastic refuge, farm stay and nature reserve. The main building, a mansion whose foundations date from the 13th century, has a fortress-like air. Rustic minimalism is Esteva’s stock in trade. This strikes first in the whitewashed interior, the predominant use of natural fibres and the total absence of clutter. Locally crafted objects are artfully positioned (a hat on a hook, a basket in a corner) but the soundtrack is silence.

All-round wellness is the point of a stay here. The spa focuses on meditation and water therapies, plus there’s yoga . The wooden slab that serves as a reception desk has no computer and the mobile-phone signal is deliberately reduced. Esteva knows that paying lip service to green values simply won’t do any more, so the property uses solar and geothermal energy and has an ecological water-treatment system. Fruit, vegetables, honey and olive oil come from the organic garden, wine from its vineyard. Natural infusions and kombucha are offered instead of commercial fizzy drinks. If all this sounds too austere to be truly comfortable, know that the effect of a few days here is one of deep, transformative relaxation. Es Racó is somewhere from which you’ll emerge a changed person. By Paul Richardson

Hotel Glòria de Sant Jaume, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: seasoned style

The first delight is its location on Carrer Sant Jaume – a cobbled alley of nectarine- and mead-coloured mansions where footsteps resound as in a rural village; it’s a serene shortcut between thronging Avenida de Jaume III and La Rambla. The second is the sensitively restored 16th-century palace belonging to the Palou de Comasema dynasty who later donated part of the building to a religious order of nuns. Among the sandstone arches, original black-and-white floors and sloping-beam ceilings are charming historical quirks: the marble sink in the stables-turned-basement spa, the framed 19th-century newspapers found beneath floral wallpaper, the occasional soft rumble of the sisters’ piano. Add to this intimate old-school service and it’s clear that this small hotel is not the work of a novice: the owner Jordi Cabau is a seasoned Spanish hotelier. And this feels like a family affair. His wife Heidi Wolf handpicked the red velvet sofas, high princess-and-the-pea beds, antique Spanish brass lights, and collections of wall mirrors and carriage clocks lending an unforced Art Deco feel to rooms. No two are the same. The Love Suite on the first floor has a mezzanine with a Victorian bath; another on the second, with cream and oxblood-red tiled floors, has a circular window. Meanwhile, the restaurant, El Patio de Glòria, is all romantic heroine with bookshelves and chairs in pony grey and raspberry pink. Here polyglot maître d’ Michele dances between languages and tables, introducing Argentinian chef Javier Gardonio’s witty dishes such as ‘Patatas Bravas The Way Jordi Likes Them’. A home in Palma for those of an elegant persuasion.

Address: Hotel Glòria de Sant Jaume, Carrer Sant Jaume 18, 07012 Palma de Mallorca Price: Doubles from about £180

El Llorenc Parc De La Mar, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: rooftop views

With a sky-skimming infinity pool, the longest in Palma, that brings the Balearic sea right up to the feet of the Balinese sunbeds, El Llorenç’s rooftop is glorious. Beneath the feathered aquamarine parasols is furniture in a zingy watercolour spectrum of blues, greens and indigos. Around the corner from Palma’s historic hammams in Parc de la Mar, this hotel refracts the medieval heritage of its La Calatrava location through an ultra-contemporary lens. Swedish designer Magnus Ehrland used 27 different geometric tiles in the space, all versions of the Arabic star.

During construction, architect Pedro Rabassa found an 11th-century Moorish oven in the foundations. Ehrland has designed without dogma, freely adding botanical splashes: local Santanyi stone pillars and Versailles-style parquet floors are playfully mixed with quirky, palm-print carpets, peacock chairs and feather headdresses. Sense of place is established with photographs of Palma, an exotic green-tile basement pool and hammam, and Tannur restaurant, which serves up hearty Mallorcan food. Meanwhile, DINS is a fine-dining experience by island chef Santi Taura, who deconstructs historic local dishes. Service is informal and standard rooms are snug. But on the rooftop, spire-height with La Seu Cathedral, it's all cocktails, sea and sky.

Address: Plaça de Llorenç Villalonga, 4, 07001 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain Price: Doubles from about £222

Finca Serena, Montuïri

Best Mallorca hotel for: getting back to nature

A 25-minute drive north-east of Palma , Finca Serena seems like it has always belonged here in the unkempt farmlands of Montuïri, an area dotted with ghostly windmills and abandoned stone buildings near the monasteries of Algaida. Set in a 13th-century finca on a 40-hectare estate, it was opened in April 2019 by Unico Hotels (the group behind island refuge Finca Gayeta) and has the apt air of a religious order’s bucolic retreat. The silence is only interrupted by the morning chants of robins, the hotel’s motif and one of the few flits of colour in a restricted palette of black, white and hessian. Less minimalist and more Shaker-like simple, the 25 rooms free minds of worldly distractions with natural linens, polished concrete wet rooms, milk-white-painted beams and wooden farm furniture sourced from French flea markets. The only adornments are olive branches from the estate, which encompasses orchards, 12 hectares of newly planted vines, hiking paths, an outdoor pool, yoga shalas and a spa stocked with Natura Bissé products. Wellbeing is worshipped here. Farm baskets and wooden boards hang in the breakfast room, where an ancient fireplace has been turned into a loveseat; the spread of chia-seed puddings, Mallorcan coca bread and pan con tomate is eaten on the cobbled terrace over a congregation of olives trees. Meanwhile, the courses at Jacaranda restaurant have been pared down to three farm-fed seasonal choices by chef Baltazar Rigo, with dishes such as fennel soup, broccoli risotto and carob cake with apricot ice cream. The hotel shops sell baskets and linen kaftans to drift around in, as white and light as the butterflies. A real back-to-the-land retreat.

Address: Finca Serena, Montuïri, Mallorca Price: Doubles from about £220

Cal Reiet, SantanyI

Best Mallorca hotel for: wellness

When thinking of a healthy hideout, what often springs to mind are punitive classes, measly meals and regimented schedules. Great news, then, that there is nothing of the sort at Petra and Henning Bensland’s agriturismo in the south-east corner of Mallorca, near the stellar beaches of family-friendly Es Trenc with its long stretches of powdery sand and shallow seas, and the sheltered cove at Cala Llombards.

The place is something of a first for the island: a holistic hybrid, part deeply pretty hotel, part spa escape and part standalone wellness hotspot with brilliant yoga, excellent therapists and impressive treatments (craniosacral work, osteopathy, singing bowls, reiki and Ayurvedic abhyanga, as well as massages and facials). Big hitters such as fitness-focused Equilibrium run retreats throughout the year as part of a schedule that includes transformational vinyasa and yin-yoga weeks, meditation sessions, and even business-strategy gatherings. But wellness doesn’t have to be on the agenda if you don’t want it to be. Cal Reiet’s ethos is all about feeling good. And if that means lazing by the huge pool, flanked by shady sentinel palms and flowering bougainvillaea, that’s fine too.

The three-storey house itself is a calming haven; originally built as a family home in 1881, it still retains a cosy bohemian atmosphere. The sitting room, stuffed with curios, banana-leaf plants, a grand piano and squishy sofas on which resident cats stretch into convincing yoga positions, opens up to the gardens: orchards of olives, figs and almond trees, lush-green secret corners to steal away to for moments of mindfulness, and a terrace that is lit up with candles and flaming torches at night. The 15 bedrooms are neutral and completely relaxing; no TVs to distract you, just the buzz of cicadas and whoosh of wind through tall trees.

Address: Cal Reiet, 80, 07650 Santanyi, Spain Price: Doubles from about £1,146 for three nights

Castell Son Claret hotel, Es Capdellà

Best Mallorca hotel for: classic luxury

The estate, which with 132 hectares of farmland, woods and gardens is one of the island's largest private country properties, belongs to German billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne. The 15th-century castle was Kühne's corporate hideaway until a further wave of restoration transformed it into a small hotel (it has just 43 rooms) of jaw-dropping beauty.

Castell Son Claret's extremely classy interior, by Munich-based designer Danilo Silvestrin, combines marble and sandstone with wood, leather and glass. There's a classic, grown-up feel to its luxury. The Sa Clastra restaurant, headed by Mallorcan chef Jordi Canto, whips up culinary classics with a gastronomic twist. There are even plans to produce the hotel's own scent, echoing the natural aromas of the surrounding countryside. What is most striking about the place is the way its voluptuous interior never entirely obliterates the deeply rural character of the vast estate.

Address: Carretera Es Capdellá-Galilea, km 1.7, 07196 Es Capdellá, Calvía, Illes Balears, Spain Price: Doubles from about £560

Brondo Architect hotel, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: a laid-back stay

This is Palma's first venture into Architectural Digest -approved contemporary style. This place will delight design freaks and possibly irritate those who don't share their obsession. For me, the arch mix of original floors and retro furniture with ethnic carpets and contemporary lighting works like a dream. Just don't expect extreme comforts - it is a laid-back spot where service is conspicuous by its absence and the new wing in particular, with bare concrete and scary, stripped-back brick, has a starkness that might be a little too cool for its own good. Brondo Architect is essentially a design showroom you can stay in, but it certainly adds to the variety and vitality of Palma's hotel scene.

Address: Carrer de Can Brondo, 4, 07001 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain Price: Doubles from about £111

Calatrava Hotel, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: tranquil views

From the same Barcelona-based family of designers that created Can Cera, the Calatrava is in a little park with ficus trees above the old harbour wall; the 19th-century house has five floors and eight suites out of a total of just 17 rooms. The suites, measuring from 70 square metres and all with sea views, are especially covetable. The view from the roof terrace is a widescreen Mediterranean panorama taking in the cathedral, Bellver Castle and the whole of Palma bay, stretching away eastwards to Cap Blanc.

Address: Plaça de Llorenç Villalonga, 8, 07001 Palma, Illes  Price: Doubles from about £272

Hotel Portixol, Palma

Best Mallorca hotel for: the bar scene

Just 15 minutes away from Palma's flashy marina, the old harbour of Portixol with its traditional llaüts (Mallorcan fishing vessels) feels like it belongs to another era. That is until you enter this waterside hotel and discover Spanish architect Rafael Vidal's open-plan interior and owner Johanna Landström's palette of soft oyster whites, turquoise and teal, with mid-century furniture, marble floors and natural wood. In-the-know locals come here to sip early evening cocktails at the bar, and savvy travellers use it as a weekend bolthole. The spa area has two treatment rooms plus a mini gym and sauna. Downstairs, French doors open on to the pool terrace, where you can laze while listening to the lapping of the Med and nibbling on grilled mini-scallops.

Inside tip The family-run Sa Roqueta next door specialises in locally caught lobster and caldereta (seafood stew).

Address: Carrer de la Sirena, 27, 07006 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain Price: Doubles from about £207

Can Simoneta, Canyamel

Best Mallorca hotel for: a beachside location

Set on a cliff top in the north-east of the island above the bay of Canyamel, Can Simoneta feels fantastically tucked away. The adults-only Mallorca hotel was designed by local architect Toni Esteva, who spread the 28 bedrooms across two mid-19th century stone houses and updated the interiors in calming creams and taupes. There are simple but stylish doubles and the two-room Gran Suite Neptuno, set in a walled garden with a private pool, but the best place to stay is the Beach House, with its sea views. A winding staircase leads to the water, hot tubs are dotted around the manicured lawns, and crocheted cotton hammocks swing from umbrella pines. The spa offers facials using slick Spanish brand Natura Bissé, and a smart restaurant serves locally sourced suckling lamb or Iberian pork. It's quite the grown-up hideaway.

Inside tip Take the hotel's speedboat and discover hidden beaches where you'll be dropped off for a Champagne-and-seafood lunch.

The 5 Best Hotels in Mallorca

By Lauren Jade Hill

On this Balearic Island known for its mountainous interior and coastline of cliffs and sheltered coves, the most luxurious hotels combine the island’s authentic identity and historic architecture with contemporary design, modern gastronomy and lavish amenities. These are the five best hotels in Mallorca.

Son Brull Hotel & Spa

Instagram @sonbrull

Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa

Instagram @jumeirahportsoller

Each Jumeirah hotel around the world excels in the luxury experience it provides but what makes the Jumeirah Port Solle Hotel & Spa stand out is its clifftop setting where it overlooks the fishing village of Port Soller with a  backdrop created by the Tramuntana mountain range. Each of the rooms and suites here is either sea or mountain facing with interiors decorated in a classic yet contemporary style. In addition to the hotel’s two swimming pools and Talise Spa, guests have use of the three restaurants—Cap Roig, Es Fanals and Sunset Sushi Lounge—as well as two separate pool bars.

Belmond La Residencia

Instagram @belmondlaresidencia

The luxury boutique hotel Belmond La Residencia lies in the foothills of Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains on the island’s northwest coast alongside the village of Deia. The hotel encompasses two manor houses, which are home to palatial suites affording views over the olive groves and sea, and that are surrounded by lush gardens. The hotel has won awards for La Residencia Spa as well as its restaurants; El Olivo combines the Mediterranean fine dining cuisine of chef Guillermo Mendez with an exceptionally scenic setting that spills out onto a terrace.

21 Picture-Perfect Hotels in Mallorca, From Historic Castles to Wellness Hotspots

By Roxy Kavousi-Walker and Stephanie Rafanelli

Somewhere along the line, Mallorca lost a little of its sparkle. Perhaps it was in the 1980s when Magaluf put a slur on its reputation, and it became Majorca, all phonetics and glottal stop. Then in the 1990s, everyone went next door to party with its naughty little sister,  Ibiza .

But the smart set has never stopped going to Mallorca, unshuttering their  villas  every springtime. They come for its romantic coastline, dramatic mountainscapes, tiny bays of sapphire water, and terracotta-roofed villages, jumbled across hilltops. And Palma, with its boulevards of boutiques and its labyrinthine old town full of hidden tavernas and sophisticated bars.

This is the island that has inspired generations of artists, writers, poets, and musicians since Chopin shocked the locals by turning up with his mistress, George Sand. Then came DH Lawrence, Robert Graves, Joan Miró, and Anaïs Nin, all drawn to sleepy Deià, which has become a haven for artists. Jagger partied here in the 1980s, when he wasn't in Mustique. Now, in 2023, Richard Branson opened his first hotel here.

How we choose the best hotels in Mallorca

Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known properties that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location, and warm service—as well as serious sustainability credentials.

Grand Hotel Son Net Arrow

Now and then, there arrives a new hotel that feels like it's been around forever. Son Net, a baroque 17th-century estate cradled by Mallorca’s Tramuntana Mountains , is such a hotel—a place of densely layered and singular antiquarian exuberance. A grand family estate that was first turned into a hotel by American real estate mogul David Stein in 1998, Son Net has been reborn under Javier López Granados, the art collector and creator of iconic Andalusian resort Finca Cortesin. López Granados handed the creative reins to Lorenzo Castillo—a Madrid-based art historian, antiques collector, and interior designer—who filled each of the 31 rooms and suites with heirlooms from across the world. Castillo also designed bold fabrics for the vast suites’ curtains and upholstery that nod to styles from chinoiserie to Spanish colonial and Italian Renaissance. The final result feels like the home of a magpie collector—one with an eye for both ominous oils and comical ceramic ducks. As the sister property to Finca Cortesin, the hotel also hits a level of service that few Mallorcan hotels can match. Dextrous waistcoated staff attend to every whim, in every artfully curated space: from the fabric-walled Chimney Room serving up house gin cocktails to the locavore restaurant in a double-height former olive press; from the aquamarine pool set in cypress-scented gardens to the soon-to-open 10,763-square-foot spa with Morrish touches. Add to this a backdrop of sacred mountains, and the entire setting feels like a grand tour of the imagination. —Toby Skinner

Palma Riad, Palma

Palma is especially well stocked when it comes to boutique accommodations, but not many have a vibe quite as sultry or exotic as this. In a restored 18th-century townhouse off the evocative Carrer De Sant Jaume near the heart of town, there’s a real purity of vision to this adults-only hotel, where Barcelona-based designer Pablo Peyra gave each of the 11 suites its own singular design. One room's treasures include a fantasy of chandeliers, lacquered chests, and a TV hidden behind a smoked mirror, with a hammam-style bath built into a dark-tiled bathroom with exposed fireplaces. The prevailing sense of low-lit, velveteen opulence continues through the hotel to the ground floor bar and restaurant for classic cocktails, sauteed razor clams, Entrecote Paris, and a lovely burrata salad with flambeed figs and grilled peach. It lingers even in the airy riad-style atrium, with its epic fireplace and throne-like wicker chairs, where a water feature serenely tinkles on the little pool. — Toby Skinner

Hotel Corazón

“Crystals, cacti and connection” is the promised vibe at the new Hotel Corazón, an artfully restored 15-room finca on the steep winding road between Soller and Deià, overlooking the twinkling blue off Mallorca’s west coast. The hotel is the creation of British fashion photographer Kate Bellm, known for her psychedelic sun-flared portraits of women, and her Mexican artist and cactus gardener partner, Edgar Lopez. Together they hope to celebrate the creatives and producers on the island they call home. As well as linen-draped rooms that channel hazy ’70s Balearic summers, the free-flowing space is home to a gallery, craft-driven shop, and small-scale farm that feeds the locavore restaurant. With no TVs and no rules, sound baths, jam sessions, and guided hikes will set a tone in keeping with Deià’s bohemian halcyon days. — Toby Skinner

Towards Pollença, The Lodge is a second property on the island from the Unico group behind the popular Finca Serena. This one—a series of angular Mallorcan stone buildings surrounded by lavender fields and olive groves on a 388-acre plot—has 24 terracotta-toned suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as an infinity pool and fire-cooking restaurant. Spend days hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana, swimming in pools (there are three to choose from) with a mountain backdrop, or lazing on the white sands of Alcúdia Bay before retiring to feast at the all-day restaurant. Helmed by chef David Martinez, dishes feature locally sourced meat and homegrown veg all slow-roasted over a crackling wood fire. — Toby Skinner

Son Bunyola, Mallorca

This has been one of Richard Branson’s passion projects for decades, and it was finally been completed in June 2023: a lovingly reimagined 16th-century finca set amid 1,300 acres of olive groves and vineyards with teetering views down to the sea and the Tramuntana mountains rising behind. This is Mallorca at its wildest and most original—a UNESCO World Heritage Site no less—and Son Bunyola places you right smack bang in the heart of the landscape.

Inside the finca is the original olive press, the chapel’s altarpiece takes pride of place in the main restaurant, and the 13th-century defensive tower, rising above the tiled courtyard, now protects two suites. The swimming pool , lined with turquoise tiles and shimmering in the sunlight, is deserving of a Slim Aarons photograph or two. There are just 26 rooms here, many with original wooden rafters, and mostly set around the courtyard with views over the pool or mountains. Extremadura-born chef Samuel Galdón presents a vegetable-forward menu at the main restaurant, and a second is set to open in the original olive press serving Mallorcan spins on tapas on the menu. — Rick Jordan

Can Ferrereta Arrow

Andrés Soldevila Ferrer, a scion of the Catalan family who owns the grande-dame  Majestic Hotel  on  Barcelona ’s Passeig de Gràcia, has been a fan of Mallorca since childhood holidays with his grandparents. Looking for a country property to complement his Palma palace, he homed in on the island’s deep south and found a 17th-century mansion in a state of chronic disrepair. Its vaulted roofs and haylofts have been transformed from crumbling relics to original features that underscore a rule-breaking combination of rustic minimalism and high-end townhouse, where rugged textures coexist with Santa and Cole lamps and Carl Hansen armchairs.

There’s an impressive collection of contemporary Spanish art and plenty of local input from potters, carpenters, and farmers alongside fine Catalan linens (Lo de Manuela) and Italian ceramics (Bucci). Can Ferrereta calls for little exertion beyond a browse around the superb haul of work by artists such as Dominica Sánchez and Jordi Alcaraz, a salt-and-seaweed treatment at the Sa Calma spa, or a supper of modern Mediterranean cooking at Alvar Albaladejo’s Ocre restaurant, fast shaping up as the best in the southeast.

La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel Arrow

The vastness of the property—bought by Richard Branson in 1987 and now owned by Belmond—is stealth-like, a warren of centuries-old buildings hidden among the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. Despite the 71 bedrooms (including six bright new suites), an art gallery, two artists’ studios, four restaurants, two outdoor pools , tennis courts, a kids’ club, and mountain trails, there is a pervading sense of space and wonderful privacy. All rooms have terraces looking out to the green-shuttered, ochre town and glittering sea, and some have their own plunge pool—ideal in this sun-trap of a valley. Inside, they are big and cool with splashes of citrus shades, marshmallow-soft beds, and safes concealed behind works of art (the hotel has more than 800, of which 33 are original Mirós).

The brilliant bistro sends out tapas of jamón ibérico and chorizo cooked in cider—or there’s candlelit El Olivo, where the tasting menu is a hearty and lengthy love letter to Mallorcan gastronomy: freshly caught prawns baked on a bed of salt for just three minutes, suckling pig with a sage and sobrasada sauce, and Sóller-orange ice cream. Each day there’s a soul-brightening boat trip along the coast, where you can play David Attenborough spotting Eleonora’s falcons and snorkel among schools of silvery fish. But the most popular pastime here is taking in that dreamy view.

Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden Arrow

Like many special hotels, this one is tricky to find. Only the discreet stone archway that leads off the square to what was once a private family home—then a school run by nuns—indicates you have arrived. Can Bordoy today has been entirely renovated by much-in-demand husband-and-wife architects Jaime Oliver and Paloma Hernaiz of OHLAB. Their aim was to respect the building’s rich heritage while bringing it up to date with contemporary notes. There’s a shady courtyard and a long, stone bar with a low-key reception area; a living room with beautiful creeping vines across the ceiling connects to a dining room and a library with views out to the back.

The designers have excelled in filling this space with natural light and drama with a mix of both vintage and new furniture. Their vast, custom-made walnut beds and in-room cocktail bars with integrated stereos are real highlights. The basement spa and rooftop sundeck with 360-degree views and a glass-bottom plunge pool are delightful, as is the Botànic restaurant run by chef Andrés Benitez, focusing on locally sourced organic ingredients.

Sant Francesc Hotel Singular Arrow

From a platinum-pedigree family of hoteliers, owner Andrés Soldevila Ferrer embarked on the refurbishment of a 19th-century palace and turned it into a savvy showstopper with an independent spirit. Thoughtful extras in the rooms include a handy waterproof bag for wet swimwear and the gift of a black handbook with the owner’s favorite island haunts. In the process of its transformation, table number 42 (where Michelle Obama once dined) has become a must-have in the Quadrat Restaurant & Garden. Formerly the stables, the kitchen serves fresh, seasonal  Mediterranean  fare—the signature dish of scarlet shrimp socarrat rice created with the island’s famed Soller red prawns is rich and creamy thanks to preparation in a traditional paella pan. At breakfast, try traditional ensaïmada, snail-shaped pastries made by renowned bakery C’an Joan de S’aigo. — Anna Nicholas

Hotel Espléndido Arrow

Swedish couple Mikael and Johanna Landström (who also own the Hotel Portixol in Palma) have transformed it from rather dusty traditional lodgings into a gleaming-fresh temple of Scandinavian chic. The bright and airy bedrooms—retro-cool with mid-century armchairs and fern-frond-printed wallpaper—have views either out to the water or to the terraced gardens behind, planted with olive trees, red geranium, and bougainvillea. And because there's no traffic, you really can fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping the shore.

There's a kids' menu in the bistro, a family pool (and one for the grown-ups), baby bedding, highchairs, and cots all available, as well as junior treatments in the spa . And if you manage to get everyone to bed in time when you're back, make a beeline for one of the striped, nautical chairs on the terrace. Order a stiff gin and tonic and marvel as the sun drops straight between the cliffs and sets behind the bobbing boats.

Es Racó D’artà Arrow

Architect/designer Antoni Esteva and his long-time associate and builder Jaume Danús are behind some of Mallorca’s most fascinating hotel projects, but this is their best yet. The traditional possessió , or estate, sprawls across acres of glorious countryside in the island’s pristine north-east corner, with elements of monastic refuge, farm stay and nature reserve. The main building, a mansion whose foundations date from the 13th century, has a fortress-like air. Rustic minimalism is Esteva’s stock in trade. This strikes first in the whitewashed interior, the predominant use of natural fibres and the total absence of clutter. Locally crafted objects are artfully positioned (a hat on a hook, a basket in a corner) but the soundtrack is silence.

All-round wellness is the point of a stay here. The spa focuses on meditation and water therapies, plus there’s yoga . The wooden slab that serves as a reception desk has no computer and the mobile-phone signal is deliberately reduced. Esteva knows that paying lip service to green values simply won’t do any more, so the property uses solar and geothermal energy and has an ecological water-treatment system. Fruit, vegetables, honey and olive oil come from the organic garden, wine from its vineyard. Natural infusions and kombucha are offered instead of commercial fizzy drinks. If all this sounds too austere to be truly comfortable, know that the effect of a few days here is one of deep, transformative relaxation. Es Racó is somewhere from which you’ll emerge a changed person. — Paul Richardson

Hotel Glòria de Sant Jaume, Palma

House in a restored 16th-century palace, this property once belonged to the Palou de Comasema—a dynasty who later donated part of the building to a religious order of nuns. Among the sandstone arches, original black-and-white floors, and sloping-beam ceilings are charming historical quirks such as the 19th-century newspapers found beneath floral wallpaper, now framed as artwork. Add to this intimate old-school service and it’s clear that this small hotel is not the work of a novice: the owner Jordi Cabau is a seasoned Spanish hotelier. And this feels like a family affair. His wife Heidi Wolf handpicked the red velvet sofas, high princess-and-the-pea beds, antique Spanish brass lights, and collections of wall mirrors and carriage clocks lending an unforced Art Deco feel to rooms. No two are the same.

Meanwhile, the restaurant, El Patio de Glòria, is all romantic heroine with bookshelves and chairs in pony grey and raspberry pink. Here polyglot maître d’ Michele dances between languages and tables, introducing Argentinian chef Javier Gardonio’s witty dishes such as “Patatas Bravas The Way Jordi Likes Them.”

El Llorenç Parc de la Mar Arrow

With a sky-skimming infinity pool—the longest in Palma—bringing the Balearic sea right up to the feet of the Balinese sunbeds, El Llorenç’s rooftop is glorious. Around the corner from Palma’s historic hammams in Parc de la Mar, this hotel refracts the medieval heritage of its La Calatrava location through an ultra-contemporary lens. Swedish designer Magnus Ehrland used 27 different geometric tiles in the space, all versions of the Arabic star.

During construction, architect Pedro Rabassa found an 11th-century Moorish oven in the foundations. Ehrland designed without dogma, freely adding botanical splashes: local Santanyi stone pillars and Versailles-style parquet floors are playfully mixed with quirky, palm-print carpets, peacock chairs, and feather headdresses. Sense of place is established with photographs of Palma, an exotic green-tile basement pool and hammam, and Tannur restaurant, which serves up hearty Mallorcan food. Meanwhile, DINS is a fine-dining experience by island chef Santi Taura, who deconstructs historic local dishes.

Finca Serena Mallorca Arrow

Set in a 13th-century finca on a 99-acre estate, this stay was opened in April 2019 by Unico Hotels (the group behind island refuge Finca Gayeta) and has the apt air of a religious order’s bucolic retreat. Less minimalist and more Shaker-like simple, the 25 rooms free minds of worldly distractions with natural linens, polished concrete wet rooms, milk-white-painted beams, and wooden farm furniture sourced from French flea markets. The only adornments are olive branches from the estate, which encompasses orchards, 29 acres of newly planted vines, hiking paths, an outdoor pool, yoga shalas, and a spa stocked with Natura Bissé products.

Farm baskets and wooden boards hang in the breakfast room, where an ancient fireplace has been turned into a loveseat; the spread of chia-seed puddings, Mallorcan coca bread and pan con tomate is eaten on the cobbled terrace over a congregation of olives trees. Meanwhile, the courses at Jacaranda restaurant have been pared down to three farm-fed seasonal choices by chef Baltazar Rigo, with dishes such as fennel soup, broccoli risotto, and carob cake with apricot ice cream.

Cal Reiet, Santanyi

This place is something of a first for the island: a holistic hybrid, part deeply pretty hotel, part spa escape, and part standalone wellness hotspot with impressive treatments (craniosacral work, osteopathy, singing bowls, reiki, and Ayurvedic abhyanga, as well as massages and facials). Big hitters such as fitness-focused Equilibrium run retreats throughout the year as part of a schedule that includes transformational vinyasa and yin-yoga weeks, meditation sessions, and even business-strategy gatherings.

The three-story house itself is a calming haven; originally built as a family home in 1881, it retains a cozy bohemian atmosphere. The sitting room—stuffed with curios, banana-leaf plants, a grand piano, and squishy sofas—opens up to the gardens: orchards of trees (olives, figs, and almond) and a terrace that is lit up with candles and flaming torches at night. The 15 bedrooms are neutral and completely relaxing; no TVs to distract you, just the buzz of cicadas and the whoosh of wind through tall trees.

Castell Son Claret hotel, Es Capdellà

This estate—which belongs to German billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne—is one of the island's largest private country properties with 326 acres of farmland, woods, and gardens. The 15th-century castle was Kühne's corporate hideaway until a further wave of restoration transformed it into 43 rooms of jaw-dropping beauty.

Castell Son Claret's extremely classy interior— the work of Munich-based designer Danilo Silvestrin—combines marble and sandstone with wood, leather, and glass. The Sa Clastra restaurant, headed by Mallorcan chef Jordi Canto, whips up culinary classics with a gastronomic twist. There are even plans to produce the hotel's own scent, echoing the natural aromas of the surrounding countryside. But what's most striking about the place is the way its voluptuous interior never entirely obliterates the deeply rural character of the vast estate.

Brondo Architect Hotel Arrow

This is Palma's first venture into Architectural Digest -approved contemporary style. The arch mix of original floors and retro furniture with ethnic carpets and contemporary lighting works like a dream. Just don't expect extreme comforts: it's a laid-back spot where service is conspicuous by its absence and the new wing in particular—with bare concrete and stripped-back brick— has a starkness that can only be described as potentially too cool for its own good. Brondo Architect is essentially a design showroom you can stay in, and it certainly adds to the variety and vitality of Palma's hotel scene.

Calatrava Hotel, Palma

From the same Barcelona-based family of designers that created Can Cera, the Calatrava is in a little park with ficus trees above the old harbor wall; the 19th-century house has five floors and eight suites out of a total of just 17 rooms. The suites—measuring from 753 square feet and all with sea views—are especially covetable. The view from the roof terrace is a widescreen Mediterranean panorama taking in the cathedral, Bellver Castle, and the whole of Palma Bay, stretching away eastwards to Cap Blanc.

Hotel Portixol, Palma

Just 15 minutes away from Palma's flashy marina, the old harbor of Portixol with its traditional llaüts (Mallorcan fishing vessels) feels like it belongs to another era. That is until you enter this waterside hotel and discover Spanish architect Rafael Vidal's open-plan interior. Owner Johanna Landström's has refreshed the space with a palette of soft oyster whites, turquoise, and teal, and the rooms are dotted with mid-century furniture, marble floors, and natural wood. In-the-know locals come here to sip early evening cocktails at the bar, and savvy travelers use it as a weekend getaway. The spa area has two treatment rooms plus a mini gym and sauna. Downstairs, French doors open onto the pool terrace, where you can laze while listening to the lapping of the Med and nibble on grilled mini-scallops.

Can Simoneta, Canyamel

Set on a clifftop above the bay of Canyamel, Can Simoneta feels fantastically tucked away. The adults-only Mallorca hotel was designed by local architect Toni Esteva, who spread the 28 bedrooms across two mid-19th century stone houses and updated the interiors in calming creams and taupes. There are simple but stylish doubles and the two-room Gran Suite Neptuno—which is set in a walled garden with a private pool—but the best place to stay is the Beach House with its sea views. A winding staircase leads to the water, hot tubs are dotted around the manicured lawns, and crocheted cotton hammocks swing from umbrella pines. The spa offers facials using products from Spanish brand Natura Bissé, and the restaurant serves locally sourced suckling lamb or Iberian pork. It's quite the grown-up hideaway.

Travel Guide

• # 4 in Best Beaches in Spain

Mallorca, the largest of the collection of islands located off the east coast of Spain, is also the most diverse of the Balearics. Although it's true that the same aquamarine waters that lap Ibiza – its southwestern neighbor – also roll onto Mallorca's pristine shores, Mallorca's landscape holds many more treasures. For examples, look no further than the island's Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which lines the northern coast and drops into the rocky Cap de Formentor, or the inland's swaths of green that are draped in olive, almond and carob groves. And its medieval town – Palma – with its soaring cathedrals and palaces and its quaint streets and squares, are in their own way just as delightful to behold. Couple that with a local culture that appreciates good food, good wine and fun – summer is a nonstop party! – and you'll start to wonder, why not Mallorca?

The 17 Best Luxury Hotels in Mallorca (2024)

Mallorca is known for its turquoise waters, vibrant cuisine, and endless olive groves. It is without a doubt one of my favorite places to travel to, and our trip this last summer was better than I could have imagined. That said, there is a lot to consider when planning a trip to Mallorca, and you’ll want to do so in advance.

Accommodations are one of the most important parts of planning a successful trip to this idyllic island, and there is something for everyone. I feel like you could easily spend several weeks and still not see the whole island. My guide to the best towns to stay in Mallorca covers a lot of what we love on the island.

My recommendation is always to split time on the west near Deià or Valldemossa and then on the east side of the island near Santayní. I think a place on the coast and then in a village would give you a great feel for island life. Then don’t forget about Palma as well for an intrinsic city experience.

Whether you’re looking for a luxurious adults-only resort or a more intimate and low-key spot, my picks for the 15 best hotels in Mallorca are here to help ease the stress of the planning process!

Short on Time? Here Are My Top Picks for the Best Mallorca, Spain Hotels:

• Belmond La Residencia , for the best luxury hotel
• Sant Francesc Singular Palma de Mallorca , for the best city hotel
• Can Ferrereta , for the best adults-only hotel

Looking for Mallorca Inspiration?

From breathtaking beaches to charming villages, check out this post for some of my favorite can’t-miss places in Mallorca .

What to Know Before Traveling to Mallorca

When is the best time to come.

Since summer is the busy season in Mallorca, the crowds can become pretty intense. I highly recommend avoiding Mallorca between July and August. Instead, try to visit May to June or September to October for nice weather and smaller crowds.

Do I Need a Rental Car?

Yes! A rental car in Mallorca is a must in my opinion. Public transportation can get crowded and confusing, and the freedom to explore more hidden and rural areas is best accomplished with your own car. Visit Discover Cars for car rental deals.

When to Book?

Boutique hotels can sell out fast here, especially in summer, so I recommend booking as far in advance as possible.

How Many Days?

When planning your trip, I would recommend a minimum of five nights in Mallorca. That said, a full week should be plenty to get a feel.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!

These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you . If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here .

1. Book Your Flights

Use Skyscanner to find the best flights. It searches 100s of airlines and websites across the globe to ensure you’re not missing out on any route options or deals.

2. Book Your Accommodations

Use Booking.com for hotels and guest houses. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.

3. Book Your Tours & Experiences

Use Viator or Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check both as their inventory varies depending on the destination.

4. Book Your Car

Use Discover Cars or Rentalcars.com to find the best car rental deals. I recommend comparing rental agency reviews on Google to ensure you are booking with the best company in that destination, as the reviews are often more accurate than the car rental search engines.

5. Don’t Forget Airport Lounge Access

Get a Priority Pass membership to gain access to 1,400+ VIP lounges and airport experiences worldwide. The Priority Pass app is the first thing I check when I have a layover. I’ve been a member for over a decade, and having a comfortable place to relax before and between flights makes air travel so much more enjoyable.

6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance

I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, and cancelations, etc.). I use it frequently for my travels to stay protected.

My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:

• World Nomads (best for all-around)
• Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)

Xx, Jessica
