Overview

 
Perched dramatically above Palma’s ancient sea walls, Hotel Es Princep blends five-star boutique luxury with authentic Mallorcan character. Expect widescreen views over the Bay of Palma, a rooftop infinity pool and terrace bar, and a cocooning spa that’s made for unwinding after a day exploring the Old Town’s cobbled streets.

From the moment you step onto the rooftop at Hotel Es Princep, Palma’s bay and skyline unfold in front of you. Inside, stone walls, warm woods and contemporary lines create a polished yet unmistakably Mallorcan feel. The Baluard del Princep location means you can wander straight into the Old Town, then return for sunset cocktails by the infinity pool or a soothing session in Coco’s Spa. For couples and city breakers seeking Balearic charm with serious design credentials, Hotel Es Princep delivers in style. It sits in Palma City on the historic ramparts, within walking distance of the cathedral, Plaça Major and the marina. Transfers from Palma de Mallorca Airport typically take around 15–20 minutes by taxi or private transfer. See more Balearics holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s elevated position really comes into its own on the rooftop, where a sleek outdoor infinity pool appears to spill towards the Bay of Palma. A fringe of loungers and daybeds lines the deck, creating a chic, grown-up sunbathing spot with city and sea views.

• Outdoor rooftop pool with infinity edge
• Sun loungers and parasols on the terrace
• Pool towels typically provided (deposit or charge may apply)

There’s no dedicated beach directly at the hotel, but Palma’s urban beaches and the marina promenade are easy to reach on foot or by public transport if you fancy a sea swim or a waterside stroll.
