Mallorca is a diamond of “pure water” in the constellation of the Balearic Islands with a high content of land “carats”. The largest island in the local Mediterranean Sea is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Spain. The treasury of the Spanish “Infant” contains a lot of riches: a precious necklace of fashionable resorts, intricate mountain peaks born of magician limestone, charming bays hidden away from human eyes, plantations of citrus trees and a unique flavor of the Moorish and Roman style, woven into a single architectural ensemble.
Pleta de Mar, Luxury Hotel by Nature – Adults Only 5*
A recent debutant in the tourism market, who has already managed to gain popularity among the tourist public. The top step of the service pedestal in the nominations: interior design of the rooms, good cuisine in the restaurant, excellent grape wines as an addition to delicious meals, the beauty of the bay on the beach that captivates the eye, well-trained staff in all respects. An unfortunate drawback in the form of a rather high cost of services plays into the hands of those travelers who prefer comfort, silence and voluntary solitude from the noisy crowd of travelers to the round-the-clock tourist coven.
The compact size allows guests to feel almost like on a desert island all day long. Helpful workers are able to perform their duties by 5 points silently and imperceptibly. In the common areas near the pools, reception, bar, spa complex with a galaxy of wellness treatments, all actions take place as if by magic. In such establishments you come across with your own eyes such a rare phenomenon in tourism as an absolutely impeccable service.
Families with small children are not accepted here, all services in a miniature fashionable residence are designed only for an adult audience. In the collection of rooms there is such a tempting offer as the category “suite with private pool”. A nice private pond is equipped with a seating area with soft sofas and is framed by thickets of tropical vegetation, hiding the guests of the room from prying eyes.
Grupotel Parc Natural & Spa 5*
The undoubted excellent student of tourist training in all categories. The work of the maids in cleaning the premises is a separate article in the necklace of laudatory reviews, however, like all the work of the staff as a whole. The homely atmosphere in the hotel estates is wonderfully combined with the luxury of the rooms, made in a classic style. The territory is so thought out in ergonomic terms that the guests rarely meet each other even in the era of the high beach season.
Every day, chefs in restaurants try to impress the guests with new culinary masterpieces. A special vegetarian line of dishes is organized for fans of a healthy lifestyle. Meal mode – HB (the so-called “half board” breakfast + dinner), hungry tourists can take a walk for lunch at a nearby restaurant with Spanish cuisine, which provides food services at quite affordable prices. A bonus for guests is the proximity of a natural national park with plantations of southern flora. You can go for a walk by renting a bike or on foot.
🏨 🚕 Individual transfer from the airport to the hotel and more
Lovers of active classes enjoy visiting the gym or walking through the shady garden with olive trees and flowering flower beds. Both youth companies and families with small tourists can spend their holidays here. A cozy beach with snow-white crystals of silky-to-the-touch sand, a convenient entrance to the sea and clear azure waters beckon you to forget all your business and indulge in water activities. Muro Beach pampers the eyes with amazing pictures worthy of the brush of eminent artists.

Be Live Collection Palace de Muro 5*
Direct and convenient access to a private beach, perhaps one of the best on the Mediterranean coast here. The entire infrastructure of the resort of Alcudia with a cascade of restaurants and shops right at your side. Among the guests there are many Russian-speaking tourists from all over the post-Soviet space. Meals are provided in a promising format favored by travelers – a buffet. Of the minuses, it is worth noting a slightly tired number of rooms and a territory too small for serious pedestrian revelry.
But sports fans like a well-equipped gym for training and a well-maintained beach with a gentle entrance to the sea, which allows you to go on vacation with indefatigable and imaginative kids. The whole family can swim without unnecessary adventures. The spa center offers a standard set of wellness treatments, poolside animators zealously try to amuse tourists with exciting activities in the water or tasting exotic cocktails from the bartender. In the evenings, live music evenings with the participation of invited vocalists and musicians take place in the hall of the establishment. Vacationers liked the classic design of the rooms with modern touches of Art Nouveau style.
Chefs sometimes give master classes in Spanish cuisine. Most often, it is proposed to thoroughly study the recipes and technologies for preparing hearty paella and the popular sangria drink based on wine, fruits, berries and sugar. It is unlikely that the accommodation facility will be able to claim the level of “royal chambers”, but it could rightfully apply for the status of “country house of the Spanish marquis”.

Iberostar Grand Portals Nous 5*
A fashionable snow-white handsome man, diluted with notes of turquoise sea waves and fragments of room decor. Designer renovation is done with impeccable taste – this is the first thing that catches the eye of every tourist. Spacious balconies overlooking the sea and the sandy beach with a soft creamy silk coating make you want to admire the surroundings that enchant the eye with subtropical nature. White upholstered furniture, contrasting with the black gloss of plasma TVs and individual interior elements, give the rooms a truly royal chic.
Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows open the eyes of the sea, stretching into the endless distance, and allow you to admire the sunsets of wondrous beauty.

Well-equipped swimming pools, a spa complex with a series of cosmetic and bath procedures, a bar with a collection of wines from local grapes and strong drinks from all over the world, staff who cannot say “no” to any requests and wishes of guests. Excellent food worthy of Michelin stars for culinary talent and chefs' love for their craft. Meals are held in a cozy restaurant or on a picturesque open-air terrace.

Hotel Hospes Maricel and Spa 5*
The chic territory of the hotel residence with fragrant green oases is divided into two large areas: the area of the Ancient Castle and a modern building. This sometimes causes bewilderment and ardent reluctance among tourists to go from one end to the other through a special underground passage.
Stylish rooms with panoramic windows and small pools on the balconies really amaze the imagination of the inexperienced tourist public and involuntarily make you think about heavenly resort life on the Mediterranean shores. In restaurants, guests are served dishes from among the culinary masterpieces of gourmet cuisine. The menu includes such popular and healthy products as orange juices for breakfast, while the food itself is organized with elements of a buffet and a complex serving of hot dishes.
An unfortunate blunder in service – not very diligent food staff who do not consider it their duty to notify customers that they will receive delicious scrambled eggs, fragrant freshly brewed coffee and the same freshly squeezed citrus fruit juice only after they puzzle the waiters with this problem. Restaurant employees cannot boast of the ability to quickly respond to a situation; sometimes you have to wait at least half an hour for food to be served.
So the picturesque views around the open restaurant terrace have to save the day and distract the attention of guests. A well-maintained beach welcomes guests with a suite of free sunbeds with soft and cozy towels already prepared in advance. The clear sea pleases with almost constant calm and warm water temperature without cold currents and surprises. The distance to the central delights of the island is small, the location allows you to thoroughly explore the outlandish surroundings.
Sapphire Palace Alcudia 5*
A relative newcomer to the tourism business, already highly rated for service and effort. A magnificent territory with a detachment of cozy pools with elements of an aqua park, a children's club and the ubiquitous perky animators who are ready to entertain the younger generation from morning to evening. When the stars light up in the sky, another day full of interesting events goes down in history, maestro entertainers come into play, who are entrusted with brightening up the leisure time of an adult audience, I must say that they are doing it very well.
Unobtrusive music, which has collected world hits for every taste in a single collection in a live performance, creates a romantic mood and invites you to dance. You can enjoy the moment on the open terrace or on the balcony of the room, equipped with a soft furniture corner. There are several beaches nearby and tourists often choose not the closest one for the reason that the distant bays are more secluded and picturesque. The turquoise waters of the sea are crystal clear everywhere, and the velvety sand gently envelops the feet and invites you to lie down on a warm bed right at the water's edge. After a water orgy without time limits and sunbathing, it's time to refresh your strength in one of the 4 themed restaurants.
Here you can choose Japanese exotic sushi and rolls, Italian classics of pizza and pastas, or taste one of the dishes of the general Mediterranean cuisine with a spicy kaleidoscope of herbs, spices and seasonings that make these culinary delights especially southern and tart. Some embarrassment among the guests of the establishment was caused by sanitary rooms without doors, separated from the room only by translucent glass partitions, depriving privacy in the bathroom of intimacy. Fans of the triathlete were incredibly pleased with the indoor pool, specially equipped for training.
Gran Melia de Mar – Adults Only – The Leading Hotels of the World 5*
The complex is for adults only, does not accept families with babies. A small, cozy area is framed by plant masterpieces, which have clearly been worked hard by skilled gardeners. There are 3 outdoor pools and a private miniature beach. To help to know the nirvana of sensual pleasures for the body is entrusted to a luxurious spa center that provides massage services, cosmetology and has a whole dance of various baths.
The only small “but” is that many of the pleasures offered are not included in the standard service program. For a holiday with a touch of special luxury, you will have to pay separately by purchasing the Red Level package. You can also enjoy extraordinarily delicious cuisine in one of the 4 restaurants or enjoy cocktails by the pool. And on a small private beach, you can generally feel like the legendary Robinson Crusoe on a tropical island, because it is equipped in such a way that only a small friendly company can be accommodated on it.
The miraculous rocky sculptures indulge solitude in a close circle on the seashore, as if on purpose dividing the coastline into a legion of small picturesque bays. In the evenings, guests gather with great pleasure in the open air to watch a movie or listen to live music, and desperate romantics try to count the stars on the black velvet sky, but each time they then abandon this hopeless undertaking.

Nixe Palace 5*
Its excellent sandy beach with extraordinarily beautiful landscapes around the perimeter. A few steps from the room, passing through a convenient gate, and here it is the treasured edge of the seashore. It is better to take a place under the hot southern sun in advance: there are many people who want to, but, alas, there are not enough umbrellas and sunbeds for everyone. Lovingly decorated by the caring hands of the staff, the territory is not the largest in size, but very cozy. In the shade of the trees there is a small pool, but there is no full house near it, everyone rushes to the gentle sea.
It is only 15 minutes by bus or 5 minutes by taxi to the very heart of the island, and now the vibrant pulse of the resort universe with all its tempting charms is beating around. The cost of renting a taxi is 1.5 euros one way, but there are so many pleasures around: shops, restaurants, sights, joy and fun from all sides. All rooms have balconies or terraces of white stone, which offer breathtaking views of the bay, dotted with palm trees, guarding the guard of honor around the aquamarine sea with the clearest water.
The buildings cascading down to the reservoir resemble a kind of Roman amphitheater, although the architectural style of the buildings themselves is rather closer to Moorish trends. All together, it resembles the scenery for an oriental fairy tale, and it seems that a dashing pirate ship will now appear from behind the rock and take the shore for boarding. The gentle entrance to the sea along the sandy bottom gives peace of mind to parents who come to rest with small children. Dining in the restaurant, if it cannot be called exquisite, suits all guests with an excellent choice of dishes and taste characteristics.

Pure Salt Garonda – Adults Only 5*
The rooftop pool is a chic highlight of this establishment. Swim and at the same time enjoy the enchanting scenery of the surroundings – what could be more beautiful. The windows of the rooms also offer charming views of the sea and the bay, and in the evenings you can admire the sunsets of the orange sun going to sleep in the dark depths of the sea. The distance to the beach is so meager that, if desired, you can relax on the sun loungers by the lower pool and periodically swim in the sea, not far from the building.
A calm, peaceful atmosphere pleasantly relaxes and at the same time fills with cheerfulness. The proposed half-board meal service, consisting of breakfast and dinner, does not cause any complaints about the quality of dishes even among the most demanding guests. You can choose the diet on your own and limit yourself to breakfast only if you are going to travel a lot around the island or prefer independent gastronomic tours to nearby catering outlets.
The hospitable cordiality of the staff trying to help in resolving any issues that arise causes sincere respect from travelers. In the spa area of the accommodation there is a good indoor pool and a cozy jacuzzi for 3-4 people in case of bad weather, the price list includes wellness treatments, massages, and a bath complex. Nearby there is a great variety of objects: the entertainment club “Mega Park”, a string of bars and restaurants, including the ubiquitous “McDonald's”, rental vehicles, a pharmacy, shops with beach goods.
Iberostar Selection Playa de Palma 5*
Works on a very popular system – “all inclusive“. There are not enough stars of off-scale brightness from the sky, but it is 100% consistent with its status of “excellent service worker”. One of the main advantages is the optimal price / quality ratio of the services provided. A quiet corner of the island, from the windows of the building there are pleasant views of the sea or the intricate mountain peaks. Outside the walls, resort life is seething with an enviable variety of offers: shops, souvenir shops, restaurants, rental cars and beach equipment.
All rooms are equipped with coffee machines, which has become a sought-after service attribute in recent years. Tourists are provided with bottled drinking water every day and the mini-bar is replenished with fresh snacks and drinks. The staff strictly adheres to the corporate ethics of the network magnate Iberostar, known on all continents, and does not allow any missteps in their work. The tourist public is served by several restaurants, the quality of dishes in which cannot but arouse admiration among guests.
The beach is only 20 meters from the buildings, but you will have to get to it through a road that is almost never driven by vehicles, having long ago given the track to the mercy of cyclists darting back and forth all day. The cost of service in this residence cannot be called small, but this is exactly the case when tourists know what they are paying for and are not disappointed with a truly impeccable service.
Hotel Petit Cala Fornells 5 *
The island region of Cala Fornels is famous for its fabulous landscapes and amazingly clear sea with azure shades of water. To the center of resort life – the village of Paguera, you will have to walk or drive a couple of kilometers. This corner of the Mediterranean coast was chosen by the Spaniards, who built residential complexes here, so there are only 3 hotel complexes in the area. The picturesque bay is divided on an equal footing, so the principle: whoever gets up first, gets the sunbeds, works flawlessly here.
Not only tourists, but also pleasure boats claim the coastline. So the fertile waters of the Mediterranean Sea are hardly accessible here. Cozy surroundings with a light hand can be called quiet and secluded. Noisy discos and sparkling nightclubs are not observed nearby. By evening, it becomes surprisingly calm in the area, only the stars and the moon look thoughtfully from the sky at the deserted coast. The property itself has a total of 40 rooms of different categories. But there are several pools and there are never crowds of tourists around them.
On the large sunny terrace, travelers leisurely indulge in unpretentious activities. Someone thoughtfully reads books, someone sunbathes or fiddles with a phone or tablet. The staff sometimes seems not the most efficient, but the food in the restaurant is beyond praise, the long-term practice of chefs, who have long studied all the wishes and quirks of the guests, affects. Fragrant coffee and exotic cocktails are tirelessly prepared in the bar all day long, and breakfasts on the Swedish line, travelers, without saying a word, called delicious and fantastically tasty.
The highest level of service in all service categories. Access to a private beach with velor white sand and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Staff who are well aware of their duties, quite often offering guests unexpected bonuses in the form of an increase in the category of a room or a free extension of the stay for several hours during evening flights with tourists. Guests feel confident and calm, knowing that managers will solve any problem that arises with maximum benefit for customers.
From the windows of the spacious, well-appointed rooms with a nice design, there are enchanting views of the sea and the park area. A compliment from the institution – a boat trip around the area, is provided to guests absolutely free of charge. Such a cozy and kind atmosphere reigns throughout the territory that travelers feel at home. The room rate already includes a hearty breakfast with a wide range of dishes.
Even in the library for Russian-speaking tourists there are literary publications in their native language, which once again underlines the loyal attitude towards guests of any nationality and the desire to organize pleasant little things for them that characterize the entire holiday as a whole. You want to come back here again and again, and this is a clear sign of quality service and true hospitality in Spanish. A score of 10 out of 10 is deservedly received by the guests from the guests.
Blau PortoPetro Beach Resort & Spa 5*
A beautiful area with a galaxy of buildings. Well-groomed, green area with oases of subtropical vegetation. A large selection of entertainment for the younger generation, which allows us to call the hotel complex a great place to relax with children. Fans of physical training will not be disappointed by the sports grounds, fans of evening entertainment will be happy to plunge into a series of activities offered daily by qualified animators. Fans of walking promenades will find treasured health paths for themselves, fans of water fun will be delighted with 3 cozy pools and a magnificent beach with an army of umbrellas and sun loungers provided for a fee.
The main contingent of tourists are tourists from European countries, especially from Germany, among the guests about 30% of guests from Russia and Russian-speaking countries. Type of food – “half board” with breakfast and dinner in a Swedish format. The choice of dishes is colossal, the taste and quality of serving does not cause any complaints. Of the minuses, tourists noted the old number of rooms and furniture that was tired of many years of work, clearly in need of updating. Travelers also expressed disapproval about the work of the staff.
A large number of vacationers clearly distracted them from some of the little things that slightly spoiled the guests' overall impression of the vacation. In the restaurant it was difficult to wait for the provision of a high chair for babies, and when leaving, the guests did not wait for the employees who were supposed to deliver them and their luggage to the taxi called to the gate. General verdict: it's time to work on the bugs a bit so as not to end up in a failed situation.
Formentor, a Royal Hideaway Hotel 5*
A respectable residence that promises a comfortable stay in the shade of coniferous trees on a vast territory. The beauty of the beach with white clean sand and azure waters of the sea is amazing. The pacifying atmosphere promises calm relaxation and quick recuperation. He became famous among travelers for his unusually delicious cuisine, a rich list of local wines and a real fashionable service, typical of the European Mediterranean coast. The main credo of the staff is to work unobtrusively and efficiently.
The location at some distance from the resort civilization allows travelers to feel like real islanders who have climbed into a paradise with a mild subtropical climate. The beach area is framed by shady trees. Silence and peace are broken only by the whisper of foliage and the singing of birds. It is considered a truly exquisite place that has managed to combine the benefits of modern civilization and almost virgin southern nature with all its charming charms in one ensemble.
The harmonious atmosphere of the institution may seem a little insipid to the youth audience, accustomed to the endless fireworks of entertainment. This exclusive complex, reminiscent of an exotic Paradise on Earth, is more likely to appeal to families with teenagers or people of elegant age who know how to appreciate tourist chic and aristocratic charm of service thought out to the nuances. The very rare case when there are no complaints about the vacation and no one found flaws during the rest.
Hipotels Playa de Palma Palace & Spa 5*
A new generation complex with a chic green area. The distance to the picturesque beach with crystal clear water the color of precious emeralds and sapphires is 200 m. Stunned by the excellent service, beauty and good service, tourists quickly made their unequivocal verdict: clean, beautiful, comfortable, cozy, stunning by all standards without a single complaint. Spacious rooms are equipped with the latest world-class tourism. Meals in the morning take away all the will to stop and stop trying all the dishes in a row, everything is so deliciously cooked.
The windows of the rooms offer amazing pictures of the charming bay or beautiful fragments of the territory. Tourists have already begun to make legends about the diligence of the staff: everyone can and will help with everything. To the undoubted advantages of a wonderful island residence, one can also add the presence of a spa center with a wide range of wellness treatments and the presence of a jacuzzi on the balconies of rooms of higher categories. The property still breathes newness: a collection of swimming pools, umbrellas and sun loungers in recreation areas, furniture in all areas, tableware in restaurants.
For thrill-seekers at night, the fact that the Mega Park nightclub is just a couple of hundred meters from the hotel property will be good news, however, the rest of the developed Spanish infrastructure is also very close by. Among the evening events in the charming hotel palace, there is also such a romantic proposal as “seeing the sun off to evening peace on the seashore”. Sunsets in these places are really fabulously beautiful, by the way, like the entire exotic island of Mallorca as a whole.
