    5 stars | One of my favorite hotels in Palma is Hotel Can Alomar. It is a top-class boutique hotel in an old palazzo right on the Paseo del Borne boulevard. The sun terraces are great for relaxing (one has a small pool), the De Tokio a Lima restaurant is one of the best on the island, and the courtyard is planted with orange trees. The rooms are really nicely furnished - they embody everything that makes a boutique hotel for me. Just look at the pictures and you'll see what I mean!

    5 stars | Hotel Can Cera is one of the most popular luxury boutique hotels in Mallorca. And rightly so: history meets modern service here and the building itself is an eye-catcher. You will find the 5 star boutique hotel in a 17th century palace in the historic center of Palma de Mallorca. Therefore, all important attractions can be reached quickly.

    It is oneAdults OnlyHotel, so peace and quiet is guaranteed (and I'm writing this as the proud father of two kids 😀 ) Be sure to check out the hotel, because it's one of the best candidates in Palma. The suites and rooms are large, the restaurant is excellent and, in addition to a terrace, the lobby and courtyard alone are worth a visit.

    5 stars | The Nivia Born Boutique Hotel Mallorca is a dream hotel in Palma de Mallorca. I love the style of the rooms, they exude an incredible calm and elegance. The entire hotel has a really great tenant, the crew is always nice and helpful and the view from the roof terrace of the old town and the cathedral is pure vacation. In my opinion, this is exactly how a boutique hotel in Palma should be!

    Add to myTraveladded

    5 stars | For me, one of the most beautiful and harmonious boutique hotels in the north of Mallorca is the Can Aulí Luxury Retreat. I visited friends here and was simply amazed by the architecture, the taste of the interior designers and the atmosphere. Do you know that feeling when you enter a hotel and you immediately feel super comfortable? That's exactly what I had at the Can Aulí Luxury Retreat!

    Everything is done in calm earth tones, many elements of the 17th century building have been uncovered and restored and combined with modern elements. In the sheltered inner courtyard you can sit under palm and shady trees and jump into the pool or let yourself be pampered with regional cuisine. Simply fantastic!

    5 stars | For me, the Sant Francesc Hotel Singular is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels in Palma de Mallorca. In addition to a sensational view from the roof terrace with pool, it exudes a wonderfully exclusive charm without being "aloof". Really great!

    Located in a restored 19th-century mansion, you'll immediately notice that it has been furnished with great attention to detail. The rooms are super stylish and tastefully decorated. Many of the rooms and suites have their own small balcony or terrace, it couldn't be better. Oh yes: the Sant Francesc Hotel Singular has a really good restaurant and a very good lobby bar. All this makes it one of the best 5-star boutique hotels in Mallorca!

    5 stars | The Summum Prime Boutique Hotel is one of the most beautiful and impressive 5 star boutique hotels in Mallorca, without a doubt. It is housed in a 15th-century palace and is sensationally furnished down to the smallest detail. The rooms and suites are huge, the decor is super stylish and definitely unique.

    In addition to its roof terrace, the Summum Prime Boutique Hotel offers a spa area where you can "recharge your batteries". They play wonderfully with contrasts: white meets dark wood, in other areas it is exactly the other way around. My conclusion: what a nice hotel!

  7. 07

    5 stars | As the name suggests, the Cap Rocat is a very luxurious boutique hotel right on the bay of Palma. It has a beautiful pool, two really good restaurants and several terraces and lounges. The unique thing about the hotel is the building in which it is located. Because it was once a military fortress. All this makes it one of the best 5 star boutique hotels in Mallorca!

    My tip: if your travel budget allows it, be sure to book a suite. They have day beds that look straight out to sea!

    4 stars | What a beautiful place! Located in the old town of Palma, the Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa Mallorca is a charming and luxurious hotel. In addition to a roof terrace, it has a rooftop pool, which is a real plus in summer, stylish rooms and super-comfortable beds (I tried it myself!).

    As soon as you enter the hotel, you will be won over by the Posada Terra Sant: it is very stylishly furnished and is housed in a 16th-century manor house. A lot is done right here!

    4 stars | The Mon Boutique Hotel is located in Pollença in the north-east of Mallorca. I love this area because you are super-fast at various beautiful bays and there is a lot of untouched nature to discover. The hotel is very pretty from the outside, this extends to the lobby and the rooms.

    Although you are so centrally located in town, it is wonderfully quiet, the roof terrace is a real highlight and the view of the mountains and landscape is breathtaking. Another nice thing: you are far away from the typical tourist places and can still experience a little bit of authentic Mallorca.

    My tip: ask for a room with a view of the market square!

    5 stars | The Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden is just gorgeous! It is located in a historic city palace that has been lovingly restored. If you are looking for a very special boutique hotel in Mallorca and want to treat yourself to the luxury of 5 stars, you absolutely have to see it.

    In addition to a roof terrace with a pool, from which you have a sensational panoramic view of the entire city, I was particularly impressed by the inner courtyard. You sit (or lie) between palm trees, it's shady, quiet and green - amazing, you're in the heart of the old town! Also plan a visit to the hotel's own restaurant, it's worth it!

    4 stars | The Can Cota Boutique is located in the interior of Mallorca and offers you pure tranquility and luxury. In addition to an infinity pool (from which you can have a wonderful view of the mountains and the landscape), a family atmosphere and a great garden area await you. From here you can be in any corner of the island in less than an hour, whether Palma, Port d'Alcúdia or Soller - just perfect. If you are looking for a boutique hotel away from the cities, you have come to the right place!

    ▷ The 28 most beautiful boutique hotels in Mallorca 2023 | Insider tips + map (16)

    Add to myTraveladded

    5 stars | The Castillo Hotel Son Vida is not a boutique hotel in the classic sense, but it still exudes a similar charm. Why? The hotel is not in a town house, it's in a 13th century castle! Its location on a mountain slope gives you a unique view of Palma de Mallorca and the sea. There are three pools, two restaurants and several stylish bars and lounges, so it had to be on my best list.

    It is particularly ideal for the golf fans among you, as there are four modern golf courses in the immediate vicinity. Simply fantastic!

    Add to myTraveladded

    4 stars | I've been a guest myself at the Forum Boutique Hotel & Spa in Alcudia, because (unsurprisingly) boutique hotels (not only) on Mallorca magically attract me. The location in the old town with its many small streets is awesome, I've been to the place more than 20 times and believe me, Alcudia doesn't get any better than this. You are located right on the small Placa de la Constitucio, there are plenty of good bars and restaurants within 200 metres.

    The hotel itself is relatively new and has been completely refurbished after a change of ownership. The rooms are decorated in relaxed natural colors, the lobby is great for cooling off (including the bar!) and the style is just wonderful. If you are looking for a really good boutique hotel in the north of Mallorca, definitely check it out!

    5 stars | If you are looking for a luxury boutique hotel in Mallorca, there is hardly a way around La Residencia in the artist town of Deià. It is located in a typical Mallorcan building (from the 16th century) with a huge garden (here is also the sculpture garden) including an olive grove. In addition to two beautiful pools, you can choose between rooms and suites with mountain views and sea views.

    The hotel's El Olivo restaurant has won multiple awards, and if you're more in the mood for tapas, there's Café Miro. For lovers of art and culture (and luxury), La Residencia is the first choice!

Many of the rooms in the stylishly furnished hotel have their own balcony or terrace, from which you have a view of the sea (Cala Major beach is just under 4 km away), the old town and the cathedral.

    The entire hotel exudes a wonderful elegance and tranquility that will make you feel welcome as soon as you enter. All around the boutique hotel you will find a lot of good bars and restaurants, just wonderful!

    I really like the roof terrace and the restaurant where you can eat tapas at a high level. In addition, the most important sights and the diverse gastronomic scene are in the immediate vicinity. So it is perfect if you are looking for a luxury hotel away from the usual hotel chains in a central location!

    4 stars | The Portixol Hotel & Restaurant is a really nice boutique hotel on Mallorca on the beach. The facility exudes the charm and lightness of the south, it always reminded me a little bit of California. The location is sensational: you have an unobstructed view of the sea and the beach from your hotel room, you can end the evenings on your own terrace and have a really good time.

    The hotel itself is only a 3 minute walk from Portixol Beach and Portixol Port of Palma, the onsite restaurant is really good and there is even a spa. That's how holidays on Mallorca should be, right?

The city center is a dream with its many small streets, bars and restaurants and still feels really authentic. This is exactly the spirit of the Yartan Boutique Hotel, which offers a large pool, a small hammam and a beautiful garden.

    The building itself is a dream, once an 18th century manor house which has recently been renovated and has just 12 rooms. The combination of old and new modern shapes is really successful!
