Noble palacete hideaway
A soaring palm tree and stone staircase anchor the quiet central courtyard, where secluded salons invite unhurried afternoons of leisure.
“The palacio you always wished your great-grandparents had had the good sense to purchase, set smack in the historic center of Palma de Mallorca.”

Arriving at Can Cera, passing under its old stone archway and into its leafy central courtyard, you enter a particularly inviting oasis…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet cobblestone alleys wind past Plaça de Sant Francesc and Santa Eulàlia, placing Palma's historic quarter right outside the doorway.
The rooms
Fourteen chambers feature moody walls, sisal rugs, and vintage furniture, while the flagship suite occupies the palace's former ballroom.
The thermal suite
Subterranean stone chambers hold a Finnish sauna, a steam hammam, and a warm hydromassage jacuzzi.
The spa
Therapists in the candlelit treatment rooms deliver tailored bodywork and facial rituals with natural products.
At the table
La Vermutería serves Balearic tapas under the courtyard arches, and craft cocktails pour at the marble bar.
How it began
With foundations dating back seven centuries, this noble palacete gained its grand salons and sandstone arches during a seventeenth-century expansion.
