What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
this beautifully refurbished 19th-century mansion — all sunlight, sea breezes and soft, luxury-hotel surfaces — feels so much like a place apart.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Parc de la Mar sits just out front, and Palma Cathedral is a five-minute stroll through the medieval quarter.
The rooms
Ten of the sixteen rooms face the water, and premier suites open onto private balustraded terraces over the bay.
The spa
The treatment room sits beneath an exposed sandstone arch, with therapies formulated from Spanish organic skincare brand Seaskin.
At the table
Sea Bar looks out across the park to the water, serving regional charcuterie and seafood conservas beside full-length windows.
How it began
The nineteenth-century mansion rises directly from the footprint of the ancient Arab seawall that historically guarded Palma's seafront.
