Overview

Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden is one of Palma Old Town’s most atmospheric boutique boltholes – a 16th‑century noble residence reborn as a 5‑star oasis of greenery and calm. Hidden behind an unassuming facade, you’ll find the largest private garden in Palma’s historic quarter, a heated pool edged by ivy‑clad walls, a rooftop pool, and just 24 highly individual suites furnished with characterful antiques and contemporary comforts. With BOTANIC’s plant‑forward fine dining and a spa carved into 12th‑century stone, this is a seriously special address for style‑conscious city breakers.

Step through the doors of Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden and you swap Palma’s lively cobbles for lantern‑lit halls, velvet sofas and a surprisingly vast private garden. Suites feel more like lavish apartments than hotel rooms, BOTANIC serves imaginative green cuisine, and the historic spa and heated pools make it tempting to linger in this hidden sanctuary between bouts of sightseeing. For couples and friends keen to experience Palma City’s historic heart without sacrificing space or serenity, Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden delivers beautifully. Tucked into the Old Town’s La Lonja district, you’re a short stroll from Passeig del Born, the marina and La Seu Cathedral, yet cocooned in a leafy private garden with heated pool, rooftop terrace and only 24 suites. It’s around 15–20 minutes from Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI). See more Balearics holidays.

Map & location


Palma City, Balearics, Spain

Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden sits in Palma’s characterful La Lonja quarter, a warren of cobbled lanes, honey‑stone townhouses and intimate bars. From the front door you can wander straight into the Old Town’s must‑see sights: designer‑lined Passeig del Born, the palm‑framed marina and the soaring Gothic cathedral are all a few hundred metres away.

Despite being in the middle of the action, the property feels wonderfully secluded thanks to its large walled garden – a rarity in Palma – giving you the best of both worlds: city energy on your doorstep and a tranquil retreat when you’re ready to switch off.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 15–20 minutes by taxi or private transfer, a little longer by coach depending on stops and traffic.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The star of the show outdoors is the heated freshwater pool tucked into the hotel’s large private garden. Framed by mature trees, manicured lawns and historic stone walls, it feels more like a private villa than a city‑centre hotel. You’ll find hammocks, sunbeds and parasols dotted around for long, lazy afternoons.

Up above, a second rooftop freshwater pool offers a more urban feel with views over Palma’s terracotta rooftops. It’s another peaceful spot for a dip between sightseeing, with its own sunbathing terrace.

Pool towels are complimentary, and facilities may vary slightly by season or pool area.

Spa, sports & wellness


Beneath the house, a characterful spa has been carefully integrated into original 12th‑century stone architecture, creating an intimate sanctuary that feels quite unlike a standard hotel wellness area. Facilities typically include:
• Turkish bath (hammam) and spa whirlpool*
• Massage and bespoke beauty treatments*

The spa is usually open from around 08:00–20:00, with selected treatments available from age 6+ (some therapies are adults‑only).

Food & drink

At the heart of the hotel is BOTANIC, an elegant à la carte restaurant that leans into “green cuisine” – think seasonal vegetables, locally sourced ingredients and inventive flavour combinations with Mediterranean, Spanish, Thai and Mallorcan influences. Menus change with the market and can be enjoyed in the dining room or out among the greenery.

A refined Lobby Bar serves crafted cocktails, premium spirits and light bites throughout the day, ideal for a pre‑dinner aperitif or a nightcap in distinctly old‑world surroundings.

Breakfast (when included) is served across the Gosht room, library and garden, so you can start the day with freshly prepared dishes in whichever ambience suits your mood.

A smart casual dress code may apply in the restaurant, and opening times or menu formats can vary seasonally. Reservations may be required and supplements may apply depending on your chosen board basis; details are confirmed locally. What All Inclusive typically includes.
