Best hotel in Mallorca for: Party vibes

In short, this new opening from Meliá Hotels International and co-founder Rafael Nadal is a lot of fun. It has a relaxed, informal atmosphere, comfortable sofas, and seagrass elements, befitting its location right on Palmanova's pristine beachfront. The heart of the hotel is a vast, open-plan area where each space flows effortlessly into the next, from the lobby to the impressive three-story dining room to a large terrace with panoramic sea views. Relaxation is the name of the game here, with two pools, a gym, sauna , steam room, whirlpool, and aromatherapy spa to zip between. Be prepared for something in the evenings, though: there's regular live music during the week, and bass-heavy dance beats pound the room from 7 p.m. on weekends. This is, after all, Mallorca's party hotspot. If that doesn't appeal to you, it's quieter outside at the Beso Beach restaurant.

Andrés Soldevila Ferrer, owner of the renowned Majestic Hotel on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, ​​discovered his love for Mallorca while on holiday with his grandparents. Inspired by the unique blend of Barcelona style and Mallorcan architecture at the Sant Francesc Hotel in Palma, he searched for a country house in the south of the island. He found a dilapidated 17th-century mansion, which he transformed into a unique property that combines rustic minimalism with urban luxury. Relax with a spa treatment at the Sa Calma Spa or sample the modern Mediterranean cuisine of Àlvar Albaladejo's Ocre restaurant, considered the best in the southeast of the island.

Best hotel in Mallorca for: a quality stay

This hotel is as beautiful as it appears at first glance. The drive around exciting switchbacks, past steep slopes and narrow gorges, is worth the effort to reach chic Deià on Mallorca's west coast. Despite the 71 rooms, an art gallery, two artists' studios, four restaurants, two outdoor pools, tennis courts, a kids' club, and hiking trails in the mountains, there is a pervasive sense of space and privacy. All rooms have terraces overlooking the ochre-colored town and the shimmering sea, and some have their own swimming pool—perfect for this sun-drenched valley. Inside, they are large and cool, with citrus tones and soft beds. There's a daily boat tour along the coast, where you can spot falcons or snorkel among schools of silvery fish. But the best part of enjoying the scenery is the breathtaking view. This family hotel is ideal for active vacationers.
