Mention the word Mallorca to a Brit, and you’ll conjure images of two-for-one sangrias and all-inclusive package holidays. Yet this Balearic gem is woefully misunderstood. Beyond the coastal resorts lies an island of staggering natural beauty: the Unesco-listed Serra de Tramuntana, where centuries-old stone villages cling to pine-covered peaks, and calas with water so crystalline you can count the rocks below hidden at every bend.
With nearly 300,000 hotel rooms scattered across the island (more than any other Balearic destination), choosing where to lay your head can feel quite daunting. This curated collection of Mallorca's finest hotels spans the full breadth of the island's character: centuries-old fincas where breakfast arrives with home-pressed olive oil to luxury bolt holes tucked down the tight streets of Palma's old quarter. Whether you're drawn to mornings amongst the vines or sundowners overlooking the Mediterranean, every property on this list delivers something rather special.
