What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Like a proper Moroccan riad, this one is located right in the heart of the old city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Passeig del Born sits steps from the entrance, and Palma Cathedral is a short walk away through the old town.

The rooms
Suites have black walls, jewel-toned velvets, and hammam-style double showers. Several bathrooms even have their own working fireplaces.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Curved brass spouts pour into the green-tiled plunge pool, set among leafy plants and wicker peacock chairs.
The spa
Morokko Bar and Restaurant
The kitchen serves Mediterranean and Moroccan plates with Nikkei accents, and the bar mixes cocktails with local Palo liqueur.
How it began
This 1723 aristocratic townhouse takes its design cue from Mallorca's Islamic period, when the island was known as Madina Mayurqa.
