5 hotels · Updated February 2026
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.
Alcúdia
A well-positioned resort on the long sandy beach of Alcúdia bay in the north, offering comfortable family rooms, two outdoor pools, and direct beach access. The Alcúdia old walled town is a five-minute walk for dinners and sightseeing.
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.
Sencelles
A magnificently restored 17th-century country estate in the island's agricultural heartland, offering 20 suites in the main finca and surrounding cottages surrounded by almond and citrus groves. The estate's wine, olive oil, and organic garden produce appear on the dining table daily.
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.
Common Questions
