Though your ideal Majorca holiday may involve a lot of sun, sand, and exploration, you won’t want to ignore the importance of finding deluxe accommodations. Many tourists regard their hotel as just a place to store their luggage and catch a good night’s sleep, but the best ones have so much more to offer. You’ll usually find a restaurant on the premises, and you shouldn’t overlook the potential of a swimming pool, tennis courts, and other recreational facilities. Mallorca holiday hotels are plentiful, and there is something for every taste and budget. Whether you’re looking for something simple and cheap or deluxe and pricey, you’ll find a place that’s right for you.
It’s important to know that you’d be making a mistake by only considering beachfront hotels. Majorca has many inland accommodations that boast sweeping views of a lush island countryside or over bustling city rooftops. In Puigpunent you’ll find the Gran Hotel Son Net, a 17th century Spanish estate set in the picturesque countryside. This is a luxury accommodation and the price reflects it, but you’ll discover inside the ancient stone walls of this hotel, and an atmosphere that is unmatched. To add to its appeal, the Gran Hotel is neighbor to a nature preserve in a mountain valley, just a short drive from the vibrant city of Palma.
Another way to pamper yourself on your holidays to Mallorca is by staying at the Castillo Hotel Son Vida. It’s a 13th century castle nestled on the side of the Son Vida Hills, overlooking Palma. Considered one of the leading hotels in the world, the converted castle has been renovated to include all of the finest modern amenities while still maintaining the charm and flavor of a medieval dwelling. The rooms are spacious, and most come with their own balcony or terrace. The central rooms of the hotel such as the lobby, dining room, and lounge are grandiose and ornate, reflecting a lifestyle reminiscent of the 13th century.
Majorca hotels come in all price ranges, styles, and locations. Beach dwellers will want a coastal accommodation, while the more mature traveler might prefer somewhere inland and off the beaten path. Whatever you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it in Majorca with the right amount of research.
