Relaxing hotels in Mallorca
Mallorca at your fingertips
The island of Mallorca has much to offer. Staying at a relaxing hotel in the Balearic Islands will allow you to explore it at your own pace, appreciating all its nuances. Begin by broadening your perspective: visit the rooftop of Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma, with its expansive views of Playa de Palma, to reach a receptive state open to all possibilities. On the top floor, Katagi Blau offers an Asian fusion dining experience with teppanyaki shows and endless sunsets. This five-star accommodation also offers a new all-inclusive concept, the Island Summer Pass. This allows guests to explore the island and move between fourteen resorts in different parts of Mallorca to dine at their restaurants, enjoy their facilities (such as pools and spas), and participate in eco-friendly leisure activities. Nearby awaits Palma, the capital city with many stories to tell.
A wellness oasis next to the S’Albufera Natural Park
The S’Albufera Natural Park is a marvel of biodiversity, particularly noted for its aquatic birds and Mediterranean plants. Many of these species, such as the majestic white-headed duck, are endangered in Spain. When you visit, please approach their habitat respectfully and avoid disturbing their environment to help protect them. Wetlands, pine forests, and coastal dunes are among the diverse environments that make up this protected area, located near the multi-award-winning Playa de Muro, another valuable refuge for Balearic fauna and flora.
In this haven of sustainability and connection with nature, Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa stands out among the relaxing hotels in Mallorca, offering a slower, more indulgent, and authentic stay where wellness takes centre stage. The resort has recently been renovated to embrace further a sustainable philosophy, featuring solar panels, recycled materials, and AI tools to minimize waste, while also providing all the care and attention you seek for your island getaway. By booking with Star Prestige, you'll enjoy enhanced privacy and exclusivity; whether you're sunbathing on the rooftop infinity pool loungers, sipping your favourite cocktail at a private bar, or relaxing in your superior category room.
The best-rated hotel in Playa de Palma on TripAdvisor
Chosen by TripAdvisor users as the best in the area, Iberostar Selection Playa de Palma offers wellness and relaxation tailored to your holiday dreams, adapting to both body and soul as you dedicate yourself to them. Between exploring the beaches and coves of Mallorca, you can indulge in a romantic culinary experience at its restaurant Guethary, specializing in fish and seafood and led by Aitor Arregi and the Elkano team. You can sample wines in its cellar or toast to life at its sunset champagne bar. Gastronomy, location, design, and quality make this accommodation ideal for couples, solo travellers, and groups of friends seeking dynamic plans, good food, and the opportunity to strengthen bonds.
A suite with sea views
Relaxing hotels in the Balearic Islands are even more magical when the Mediterranean Sea is part of the scenery. Can you imagine sleeping in a suite with a glass terrace that seems to float over the waves while you sway with the moment? At Iberostar Selection Jardín del Sol Suites, this is possible. The Costa de la Calma, its name reflecting the peace you’ll find there, welcomes you to this tranquil paradise where the beach is the main attraction. It is also excellently connected with the rest of the island, making it the perfect base to explore. Complete your trip by discovering Mallorca's museums and galleries, where a deep-rooted cultural tradition spans time and styles, moving seamlessly between history and the avant-garde. Visiting art galleries can be a great plan if you visit Mallorca in winter, but also (why not?) during the warmer months, when the destination showcases its versatility.
Spa and outdoor sports
At Iberostar Waves Cala Millor, an active holiday takes on new dimensions. You'll be drawn to the allure of the waves and won't be able to take your eyes off their dance. Close to the protected area of Punta n’Amer, this intimate hotel features glass-walled rooms overlooking the sea, ensuring nothing comes between your gaze and the coastline. Warmth and modernity blend seamlessly in spaces designed specifically for your active disconnection. Additionally, the surrounding area offers several cycling routes in Mallorca that take you through incredible natural enclaves. After a bit of outdoor activity or, if you prefer, a workout in the gym, the sauna and the aromatherapy and marine gold treatments at the wellness center will help you unwind, restoring your physical and emotional energies for a deeply restful night's sleep.
Mallorcan tradition in a hotel with soul
To conclude this selection of relaxing hotels in Mallorca, imagine a fulfilled wish: resting facing a bay of turquoise and crystal-clear waters while staying close to Palma’s centre. Iberostar Waves Bahía de Palma, an adults-only accommodation, invites you to experience Mallorcan tradition in a soulful spot just fifteen minutes from the city (and five from the airport). Its beach club, The Origin, will captivate you with an eclectic atmosphere, live music, and a curated selection of international dishes made from fresh and healthy ingredients. With this perspective, your island getaway will balance long days of sun and beach with excursions to the historic centre to admire landmarks such as Palma Cathedral, known locally as “La Seu,” an icon of the island and Mediterranean Gothic architecture. Losing yourself in the old town's squares, terraces, and alleys is almost mandatory.
Relaxing hotels in Ibiza
The other island
There are relaxing hotels in Ibiza that, if chosen, offer a double advantage. On one hand, they ensure a memorable stay on a cinematic island where calm replaces the daily rhythm and silence replaces the hustle and bustle of the big city. On the other, they reveal another side of a destination often associated with nightlife and partying. This unexplored aspect shines when the focus turns inward, merging with the unmistakable Ibizan light. The condition? Letting go of haste and preparing to be enveloped by its clarity.
The decor of Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza is so bright and perfectly reflective of the surrounding beauty that you'll know where you are no matter where you look. You won't want to leave! This resort is located on the front line of Playa de S’Argamassa, in an idyllic landscape surrounded by pine forests and secret coves. Nearby, the cliffs of Punta Arabí and its famous Hippy Market, along with the town of Santa Eulalia with its white houses built on the mountain. Organic gardens, and quiet promenade reveal the charm of a more intimate and local Eivissa.
The good news is that relaxing hotels in the Balearic Islands do not have to be at odds with fun. On the contrary, you will experience a unique symbiosis between slow life and nature and cultural tourism. You will enjoy the landscape at a different pace, staying active but at your own rhythm. You'll alternate between the joy of doing nothing and the thrill of discovering everything about a dream destination. In Mallorca and Ibiza, you will grasp the true meaning of harmony when your holiday self takes the lead.
