Palma de Mallorca is a sun-drenched city where Gothic spires, golden beaches and seafood long lunches combine in effortless style. It’s the kind of place where you can spend the morning exploring maze-like alleys, browsing colourful markets or gazing up at the vast cathedral, then hit the beach or a rooftop pool by the afternoon. From peaceful old-town boutique hotels to sleek adults-only hideaways and lively harbourfront spots, this city serves up the full range of beachside stays with a dash of Mediterranean glamour. Some sit right on the water with uninterrupted views across the bay; others are just steps from the sand, blending sun and style with top-notch food and service. If you’re planning a coastal escape with just the right balance of buzz and beauty, don’t miss our expert picks of the Best Beach Hotels in Palma de Mallorca — each one offering its own twist on the perfect city-meets-sea break.
