The best hotels in Palma de Mallorca, from boutique boltholes to stays with rooftop pools

Pool views don’t get much better than Palma de Mallorca’s arresting Gothic-Roman cathedral - (San Francesc)

Long before cruise ships lurked around the harbour, this city was a melting pot of cultures, from Roman to Moorish to Spanish. Fortunately for the swarms of holidaymakers fresh off flights to PMI, one of Europe’s busiest airports, Palma’s hotel scene is as eclectic as its history, meaning there’s something for everyone from solo travellers to couples on a romantic getaway.

From quiet, boutique boltholes to spectacularly swanky spots with rooftop pools, Michelin-starred dining, and some of the best views in the Mediterranean, these hotels are chosen for their unique character, prime locations, and exceptional experiences. Most of the accommodations in this list are within a stone’s throw from the towering cathedral, but the crooked cocoon of Palma’s city centre offers a sense of peace even in the busiest quarters. Whether it’s a historic converted palace or a buzzy modern spot where the sound of waves floats by over DJ beats, we have rounded up this list of the very best hotels in Palma de Mallorca for a magical Mediterranean getaway.
