Majorca’s best hotels and resorts
Majorca offers a concentration of fine hotels, particularly remarkable in the Mediterranean. Luxury and 5-star hotels, charming boutique hotels, 4-star hotels in rustic or contemporary style, authentic or design, we have selected the best hotels in Majorca.
Majorca, a favorite of the British and Germans, is still neglected by French travelers. The reason? The vision of a destination reduced to its beaches, crushed by the weight of mass tourism and excessive urbanization. Yet the Balearic Islands’ largest island (3,640 km2, compared to just 600 for Ibiza and 700 for Menorca) is not lacking in charm: wild nature and splendid roads on the west coast, pretty beaches to the south, splendid rolling countryside planted with olive and almond trees and vineyards, not to mention its vibrant capital Palma!
Discover YONDER’s exclusive selection of the island’s finest hotels.
01. Son Bunyola, Majorca
The hotel? Nestled in the heart of the Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Son Bunyola is a historic estate restored by billionaire Richard Branson. The 5-star hotel in Majorca is distinguished by its breathtaking location: 330 hectares of wilderness in Olympian calm, between olive groves and sheer cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean. The former 16th-century finca has been renovated in keeping with tradition, highlighting its original architecture. Here, luxury is discreet and authentic, a world away from glitzy palaces.
The rooms? The 27 rooms and suites, divided between the main Finca and the Tafona, combine rustic charm with modern comfort. Exposed beams, terracotta floors and carefully selected furnishings create a warm atmosphere. Panoramic sea or mountain views are omnipresent, and some suites (our favorites) are housed in the historic towers. In addition, three private villas with swimming pools are also available for an intimate stay.
Location? Son Bunyola is located 40 minutes from Palma, on Mallorca's unspoilt northwest coast. Just a few kilometers away, the village of Valldemossa, which inspired Chopin and George Sand, is well worth a visit. The cove of Banyalbufar, within walking distance, boasts crystal-clear waters perfect for a secluded swim.
Activities? The hotel in Mallorca offers a wide range of experiences: guided hikes in the Tramuntana, kayaking excursions, outdoor yoga classes and local wine tastings. Relaxation enthusiasts will enjoy a 28-metre heated swimming pool, a treatment room and a gourmet restaurant featuring produce from the estate's own vegetable garden.
02. Cap Rocat, Palma Bay
Why book? It's hard to imagine a more majestic entrance to Cap Rocat. This ancient fortress, perched on a private estate of over 30 hectares (including 2 kilometers of coastline), was magnificently transformed into a boutique hotel in 2010.

The style? A grandiose boutique hotel.
Good to know? Atmosphere casual chic at the Sea Club restaurant, where the whole of Majorca seems to have gathered to admire the sunset. If you're not staying at Cap Rocat, at the very least, go there for dinner. You won't regret it.

From the vast lobby to the bathrooms, from the bar to the bedrooms, light, sober tones (off-white, beige, grey, taupe) take pride of place, with seductive results.

Why book? Interior designer Pilar Garciá-Nieto has completely renovated this former Spanish farmhouse set in a 157-hectare nature reserve of olive groves and lavender fields. With the appearance of a magnificent inn, The Lodge Hotel has lost none of its Mediterranean charm, inscribed in the stone. The 500-year-old load-bearing walls are now home to a sleek 6-room 5-star hotel. Light colors highlight the raw materials and the simple, almost rustic composition of the rooms, decorated with objects found in the area.
