Best Luxury Hotels in Majorca

Like the Forum Boutique Hotel, this is better suited to an older clientele — children aged 12 and over are welcome. Hotel Can Mostatxins is named after a butcher (specifically his notable moustache) who once lived in these sensitively restored 15th and 19th-century buildings. A plunge pool and spa are hidden in an atmospheric courtyard and there are just eight bedrooms, ensuring a boutique experience. It’s independently owned and very homely. There’s no restaurant or cafe, but the hotel is conveniently located close to the town square, with restaurants and bars a stone’s throw away. Its public areas comprise an honest bar, library and small boutique.

Book a suite, a family room, or even a two-bedroom bungalow with a private pool, at Ikos Porto Petro. Everything is included here, so you don’t have to worry about cash throughout your stay. Eat by the pool, or by candlelight beneath olive trees, from menus designed by Michelin-starred chefs, across five à la carte restaurants, or grab a quick meal at the Food Hall. There’s much to keep you occupied, with spa treatments, tennis courts, paddle sports and access to a complimentary Tesla to explore further afield. Kids have their own club, managed to UK Ofsted standards.

This hotel is a modern structure within the remnants of a 16th-century palace that mixes rustic Majorcan style with contemporary design. The rooms are bright and airy, have marble floors, crisp white bedding, and sensual art hanging above the beds. The simple white décor is punctuated with leather or cow hide and chrome accessories lending a more modern feel to the bedrooms. The plant-filled patio nestled between the buildings provides the perfect spot for a relaxing glass of wine lounging under the palm tree. The encouragement to relax at this hotel continues to the rooftop terrace which houses an infinity splash pool with great views over the city, a sundeck and a sauna with a difference. There aren’t many saunas that have a window that provides an unrivalled view over the rooftops towards the Palma cathedral. Although the feel of the hotel creates a very tranquil atmosphere, there is a gym just off the courtyard for those interested.

Purobeach’s first full resort brings its beach-club spirit to the southwest of Mallorca. Set on a hillside above the bay, Oasis del Mar Purobeach Resort, Santa Ponsa spreads 160 rooms and suites across terraced buildings with sea and mountain views, two outdoor pools, a dedicated wellness centre and the unmistakable Purobeach vibe.

For those who want to be pampered in every possible way, there are few hotels that can compare to the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel. As you might expect golf is at the heart of the hotel’s draw and guests are able to play unlimited golf at no cost when they stay at least one night. Even those who are not big fans of teeing off will appreciate the luxurious spa treatments, numerous restaurants and services that include private airport transfers. There are amenities for children as well as adults, and the hotel is designed to be a haven just outside of the hustle and bustle of Palma de Mallorca.

The Donna Portals is a boutique design hotel overlooking a pine-fringed cove in southwest Mallorca. Dutch design guru Marcel Wanders has shaped eacxh space, from the cascading pool to the illuminated iris artworks in the bedrooms, while a curated collection featuring Kaws, Ben Eine and Nick Walker brings the property further to life. Think white curves, Bearbrick collectibles, cocktails at sunset, and a coastal path through twisted pines to the superyacht marina at Puerto Portals.

Those seeking an all-inclusive holiday with five-star service and amenities need look no further than the expansive Zafiro Palace. Its facilities and 369 bedrooms are spread across multiple single-storey buildings, creating a low rise village-like feel. Stay here and you can swim in no less than 12 different pools (one catering for adults only), play on the golf course, visit the Zen Spa and dine in four themed restaurants (again, one is for adults only), as well as an international buffet. The Zafiro Palace is a family paradise too, with a kids’ club, organised sports and a food offering designed to appeal to younger – in addition to more mature – palates.

If you like pools, you’ll love it here. The Zafiro Palace has 10, ensuring both adults and kids can get their own spaces to chill and splash around. Two of these are within the Zen Spa, where you can book a range of treatments. The low-rise resort lies close to the beach and offers soothingly decorated rooms in earthy and coastal shades. All come with Nespresso machines, pillow menus, bathrobes and slippers, while the one-bedroom penthouse suite provides a kitchenette and a huge terrace with a jacuzzi and Bali bed. During the summer there’s a programme of activities and entertainment around the clock. And there are several dining options; The Market Buffet Restaurant, La Veranda Restaurant, El Olivo, El Portico and Tastes and Sushi Bar Restaurant.

Nestled in the heart of Mallorca’s idyllic countryside the historic Zoetry Mallorca occupies a restored 14th-century country estate boasting its very own neo-gothic chapel, windmill and Mallorcan manor house. Its 101 rooms and suites are inside these architecturally preserved buildings and seamlessly blend Mallorcan heritage with modern amenities. Zoetry’s Pure Spa by Natura Blisse offers guests many different world-class treatments and is the perfect way to switch off and relax. Yet Zoetrys piece de resistance is its restaurant Mediterranean created by the renowned chef Andreu Genestra. It not only boasts a Michelin star but also has a green Michelin star, the restaurant prides itself on its use of local produce and has its own farm and vineyard. Zoetry also offers The Endless Privileges package which offers guests the height of luxury, with bespoke and attentive service, unique experiences and endless dining and drinks. Zoetry is the perfect luxury boutique hotel for guests wishing to soak up the beauty of the Mallorcan interior and relax.
