The Best Hotels in Mallorca
Briefly

Mallorca is undergoing a renaissance as elite hotels work to restore the island's charm, moving beyond its tarnished reputation from the 1980s. Once overshadowed by Ibiza, Mallorca is now celebrating its romantic coastline, mountainous landscapes, and vibrant local culture. The island has long attracted artists and cultural figures, cementing its place in history. Notable events, such as Richard Branson's 2023 hotel opening, signal a new chapter for Mallorca, as it blends luxury with its rich artistic heritage and natural beauty.
Somewhere along the line, Mallorca lost a little of its sparkle. Now, the best hotels in Mallorca are helping the island reclaim its shine, blending luxury with timeless charm.
Gone are the days when, in the 1980s, Magaluf put a slur on its reputation, and it became Majorca, all phonetics and glottal stop.
The smart set has never stopped going to Mallorca, unshuttering their villas every springtime. They come for its romantic coastline, dramatic mountainscapes, tiny bays of sapphire water, and terracotta-roofed villages.
This is the island that has inspired generations of artists, writers, poets, and musicians since Chopin shocked the locals by turning up with his mistress, George Sand.
