Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Palma
A charming budget boutique in the heart of Palma's old town with brightly tiled rooms, a welcoming inner courtyard, and a social vibe unusual for a budget property. One of Palma's most cheerful and well-run independent hotels.
Palma
A lovingly preserved 16th-century palace on the central Passeig des Born, Palma's most elegant boulevard, with original architectural details — carved stone windows, antique furniture, a central courtyard — at prices well below the competition.
Palma
A stylish boutique hotel in a converted 16th-century Palma townhouse with a rooftop pool, well-curated art collection, and a ground-floor restaurant that draws Palma's design community. Excellent value for a Palma old-town address of this quality.
Palma
A 19th-century military fortress on a private cove south of Palma, converted into one of Spain's most extraordinary hotels with seawater pools cut into the rock, artillery rooms transformed into intimate suites, and a sense of utter seclusion despite its proximity to the capital.
Capdepera
A romantic rural retreat in the island's wild east coast near the Artà caves, with stone cottages scattered across a hilltop estate and a sweeping view of the Bay of Alcúdia. Peace, olive trees, and near-total seclusion.
A clifftop luxury resort above the Port de Sóller fjord, commanding views of the Sierra de Tramuntana and the harbour below, with infinity pools, a comprehensive spa, and one of the most dramatic settings of any Mediterranean hotel. The tramcar down to the port is a delight.
