One of Mallorca’s most lavish hotels, set in a 16th-century palace behind the Cathedral. Sumptuous period antiques and architectural features abound, including stained-glass bathrooms and huge Jacuzzis in some suites.

This 17th-century manor house in the medieval quarter of Palma has been restored with care, preserving its Mallorcan character while providing every creature comfort. Wrought iron, beamed ceilings, stone and tile accents create an elegant setting. You’ll forget you’re in the middle of a city.

The 16th-century palace of the Marquis of Ferrandell has a classic Mallorcan courtyard entrance with palm trees, marble floors and Ionic columns. Oriental carpets and chandeliers are among other touches. Rooms are simple but comfortable and feature autonomous air conditioning.

Set in a mountain-ringed valley, this 17th-century palace is filled with priceless antiques. The beautifully tended grounds feature a large pool, gym and tennis courts. Each room has a unique character.

Elegant town mansion featuring a well-known restaurant. Each spacious room has a unique upmarket style. Fine antiques, paintings and period mirrors are everywhere, and the garden has knockout views.

Modest old building with a thick atmosphere of yesteryear. A dining room hung with crystal chandeliers forms a wing of the ground floor. Rooms are basic, though.

Located on Pollença’s central square, this Modernista hotel is filled with antiques. Many rooms overlook the square, and some have four-poster beds. Bathrooms are decorated with colourful old tiles.

Stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings set off rooms with minimalist modern furnishings and interesting contemporary artwork. The restaurant features excellent Mediterranean-fusion cuisine.

There’s a timeless feel to the elegant rooms: rough medieval walls with elaborate antiques and smooth Post-Modern touches. The effect is comfortable and original, accented by indirect lighting and lots of space. The serene restaurant is one of Mallorca’s best.

Behind the rather stark walls of this 500-year-old building, you’ll find a delightful garden and spacious rooms with antiques and modern comforts. The area is great for discovering out-of-the-way places.
