Facilities

Pool & outdoors


This is a city hotel, so the focus is on rooftop relaxation rather than resort-style pool complexes. On the roof, you’ll find an intimate outdoor plunge pool set into a stylish solarium – ideal for a quick cool‑off between sightseeing or a golden‑hour dip with views across Palma’s terracotta rooftops.

There’s no direct beach access, but several of Palma’s urban beaches and the wider Bay of Palma are easily reached by bus or taxi if you fancy combining your city break with a swim in the sea.

Spa, sports & wellness


The hotel’s spa is designed as a small sanctuary away from the city buzz, with a calm atmosphere and a menu of treatments to help you reset – from massages after a day on your feet to more indulgent wellness rituals (local charges apply). Facilities and opening times may vary seasonally.

As a boutique property, there’s no large gym on site, but staff can usually advise on nearby fitness options, running routes along the seafront or cycle hire if you want to explore Palma on two wheels.

Other core facilities typically include:
