With a sky-skimming infinity pool, the longest in Palma, that brings the Balearic sea right up to the feet of the Balinese sunbeds, El Llorenç’s rooftop is glorious.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Palma's ancient Arabic quarter, shaded stone alleys lead past medieval bathhouses toward the Gothic cathedral and waterfront Parc de la Mar.
The rooms
Parquet floors and dark wood latticework frame bedrooms with spa-inspired bathrooms and private balconies facing historic courtyards or the sea.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Up on the roof, a 12-metre infinity pool has built-in shallow loungers. Downstairs, a fitness studio stays open around the clock.
The Arab baths
Emerald tiles and stone pillars surround a 14-metre heated pool, a Finnish sauna, and a Moorish steam room.
At the table
Michelin-starred DINS Santi Taura revives historic Mallorcan recipes at an open kitchen counter. Cocktails head to the shaded rooftop terrace.
How it began
During construction in historic La Calatrava, builders unearthed an eleventh-century Moorish clay oven that now anchors the restaurant space.
