The Top 42 Hotels Near Santa Chiara
-
A former convent down a quiet lane in Palma's old quarter, this boutique hotel keeps the sequestered calm its original residents intended, which turns out to be exactly what you want. Twenty-six rooms glow white with hardwood floors and open beams; the bathrooms come with egg-shaped sinks that will either delight or slightly annoy you. The spa occupies a former crypt beneath the building, which sets a mood. One Michelin Key.
-
A 12-room boutique hotel inside an old Mallorcan mansion, tucked behind a stone archway in Palma's medieval quarter. The layout does its own slow work: cobbled courtyard, marble staircase, cushioned salons, and then finally your room, each threshold a degree quieter than the last. Cream walls, olive wood, warm lamplight. There's a hammam and a gastro-bar serving Mallorcan-style tapas, for anyone who surfaces. The Michelin Guide awards it 2 Keys.
-
A twelfth-century Muslim palace turned boutique hotel in the old town, with 37 rooms where bare stone walls and Danish-influenced wood-and-linen interiors coexist without either side blinking. The spa and sun terrace encourage the kind of doing-nothing that feels vaguely productive in Mallorca. The rooftop bar catches the sunset over the bay in a way that makes other guests suddenly seem like acceptable company. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
A five-century-old aristocratic manor house in Palma's old town, now a 26-room boutique hotel with a Michelin Key. The Gothic bones show up most in the upper rooms, where stone archways appear alongside rain showers and king beds. The converted granary holds a small spa and pool, and the Salón Inglés is the kind of armchair-heavy library lounge that makes you want to cancel tomorrow's plans entirely.

A 12-meter sculpture rising through the atrium gives you a sense of what this boutique hotel is going for. Squeezed between a Gothic church and a Baroque convent in old Palma, the mansion's bones are 18th-century, but the interiors run to calm neutrals and Mallorcan contemporary art. The underground spa, regional sharing-plate restaurant, and rooftop plunge pool with a bar overlooking the city all make a strong case for staying in rather than sightseeing.
-
The rooftop infinity pool looks out over Palma's rooftops and the Mediterranean beyond, which gives you a sense of what kind of hotel this is. El Llorenç is a boutique stay with modernist furniture and warm, eclectic interiors, a deliberate counterpoint to the city's old-world palaces. Spa-like bathrooms, a hammam-style indoor pool, and balconies built for sea air round things out. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
Perched on the old city walls of Palma, this boutique hotel was designed so every room faces the Mediterranean, which sounds like a promise hotels often break and Es Príncep does not. Dark wood, stone bathrooms with underfloor heating, and a rooftop infinity pool where locals arrive early to claim the good chaises at sunset. A subterranean spa, two restaurants, and a cocktail bar round things out. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

-
A 16th-century Palma mansion run by a Swedish hospitality group is a stranger pairing than it sounds, and it works. The 31 rooms lean into the contrast, pairing old stone and carved wood with the kind of spare, considered Scandinavian interiors that make everything feel intentional. There's a rooftop pool, a Spanish restaurant, and a bar where locals outnumber the guests, which is usually a good sign.
-
-
Lázaro Rosa-Violán borrowed from Scandinavian maritime culture to dress a former bank in Palma's old city, and somehow it works completely. This sixteen-room boutique hotel sits on the Plaça de Cort with the quiet confidence of a place that has always been here, even though it hasn't. Stone walls, a collector's eye for furnishings, and a tiled restaurant spilling onto a terrace serving market-fresh Balearic food round out what is, by any measure, a very good problem to have.
-
-
A 16th-century mansion fused with a 1960s apartment block, the whole thing renovated in crisp Scandinavian white with beamed ceilings and a courtyard left intact. This Swedish-owned boutique hotel in Palma's old town makes the all-white interior feel considered rather than lazy, with pops of bold color and contemporary art keeping it honest. The rooftop terrace, with its plunge pool and cocktails, looks out over mountains, city, and sea.
-
A 17th-century aristocratic residence in Palma's medieval Jewish quarter, converted into a 27-room boutique hotel where period stonework and contemporary furnishings coexist without fighting each other. Rooms range from snug to properly palatial, and the rooftop plunge pool looks out over the old town. The spa takes its cues from the city's historic Arab Baths, with a hammam and heated pool. The bar sits in the old vault, which feels like the right place for it.

-
An infinity pool that dissolves into the Mediterranean anchors this luxury boutique hotel ten minutes west of Palma, built into an old cliff-side residence that still carries its aristocratic bones. Rooms split between the original villa and a modern annex lean into organic textures without fussing over it. The spa runs treatments inside the property's natural caves, which is the kind of detail that makes the room rate feel negotiable.
-
Streamline Moderne architecture this far from South Beach raises questions, but the short answer is that Miami borrowed heavily from Spanish design to begin with, so the look lands without irony. This 29-suite boutique hotel keeps the gold-on-white palette and curved white facades, then installs king beds, rain showers, and JBL sound systems to make sure nobody confuses it for a museum. The Ligne St Barth spa, a pool bar, and a fine-dining restaurant mean leaving is optional.
-
A giant iris eye sculpture separates bedroom from bathroom in at least one suite, and that tells you everything about the register Marcel Wanders was working in. This is a design hotel above Portals Nous bay, whitewashed and geometric outside, defiantly theatrical within. Themed suites run from pinball machine to mirrored ceiling over a circular bed. After dark, a 30-metre rooftop water cascade lights up. The subterranean spa leans cave-like, with white tree-of-life figures glowing throughout.
-
Rafael Nadal co-founded this resort on his home island, so the outdoor adventure list carries a certain credibility. The open layout borrows from the Mediterranean courtyard house: a central patio doubles as lobby, café, and lounge, with pale wood, linen, and wicker throughout. Rooms are built around ocean views, and the palm-fringed pool runs straight into Beso Beach, the hotel's bar and restaurant. Earthy, breezy, and quietly sporty.
-
Palma-based architect Guillermo Reynés designed this 79-room boutique hotel to feel like it grew out of the Mallorcan soil, and it more or less did. Rooms run spacious and colorful, with in-room espresso machines and yoga mats made from recycled cork, because of course. Suites can add private gardens or outdoor jacuzzis. There's a pool, a Codage Paris spa, and two restaurants pulling in opposite directions, fine-dining Mediterranean-Asian and casual poolside Mallorcan.
-
Twelve rooms in a century-old townhouse in Sóller, the hilltop town half an hour north of Palma, with views out over the northern coast that make you feel like you've accidentally inherited someone's elegant private home. Period architectural details meet contemporary design inside, and the Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. There's a small pool, in-room spa treatments, and a seasonal lunch terrace, but for dinner the staff point you toward town, which turns out to be the right call.
-
The infinity pool looks out over the Balearic Sea and the mountains behind it, which sets the tone for everything else at this boutique hotel on Mallorca's natural coastline. Interiors run to muted neutrals and mid-century furniture, calm enough that the views do the real work. The Ikat Pool Club handles lazy lunches and afternoon drinks, ONDA steps things up at dinner, and the rooftop bar is there for cocktails whenever the night calls for them.
-
Stone walls and timber beams from a centuries-old olive oil mill frame this rural resort in the hills above Alaró. The restoration keeps the bones intact, layering in linen sheets and understated modern furniture without scrubbing away the patina. The spa leans into the history, using olive oil and honey sourced from the estate. Gardens, pools, and private trails fill the gaps between naps, which is pretty much the whole program here.
-
A stone finca tucked into the Tramuntana mountains between the sea and the village of Deià, Sa Pedrissa is a small luxury country-house hotel where most rooms lean antique and candlelit, but the two signature suites go full minimalist, apparently so the mountains and water can do the decorating. There's a terrace pool with views that make the pool almost beside the point, and a restaurant working through the island's traditional flavors with some ambition.
-
A 15th-century Mallorcan farmhouse turned luxury boutique hotel, sitting a few minutes from Palma airport in a way that somehow feels very far from it. The 32 rooms blend antique stonework with contemporary furnishings and a noticeable Moorish thread running through the design. There's a spa with a heated indoor pool, two more pools outside, a proper restaurant with a terrace, and a cocktail lounge for when you've had enough sun.
-
-
Three joined stone townhouses in a village small enough that the cats outnumber the tourists. Can Verdera is an adults-only boutique hotel in Fornalutx, with the Tramuntana mountains stacked across the view in every direction. Rooms run from terracotta-tiled doubles to a beamed penthouse with its own terrace. No children, no piped music, no pressure to do anything. The silence is the point, and the terraced gardens give you somewhere to sit in it.
-
-
Rough stone walls from a centuries-old structure meet sharp contemporary art and clean-lined rooms at this adults-only boutique hotel in Campos, a quiet southeast Mallorca town most tourists drive straight through. The spa anchors the slower pace you came for, while two restaurants handle dinner, one leaning into Mallorcan tradition and one doing a Mediterranean-inflected omakase. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
-
Mallorca has exactly one source of natural hot springs, and this adults-only resort is built around them. The spa's hydrotherapy circuit is the main event, fed by mineral-rich thermal waters that give the place its name ("sacred fountain"). Stone buildings, beamed ceilings, and linen-upholstered everything keep things quietly unfussy. Breakfast goes under the trees; a private beach club sits on Es Trenc. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
A former Jesuit monastery tucked between the Tramuntana mountains and the Bay of Pollença, Son Brull is a rural boutique hotel and working farm with its own vineyard and 100 acres of olive, almond, and fig groves. The 23 rooms are individually decorated and quietly serious about comfort. A gastronomic restaurant, a bistro, two pools, and a sauna complete the picture, holding a Michelin Key for the property overall.
-
-
A cluster of 17th-century townhouses wrapped around a quiet garden and a small pool, this hotel sits in the rural town of Pollensa, on Mallorca's north side, far from the beach crowds and farther still from Palma's buzz. Rooms lean into classic Balearic style with just enough contemporary detail to keep things from feeling like a museum. The garden-facing ones are the calmest, though Pollensa sets a low bar for noise.
-
A 17th-century stone house in the quiet village of Santanyí, far from the package-holiday corners of Mallorca, is the starting point for this two-Michelin-Key rural hotel. Modern additions were built to blend rather than announce themselves, so the whole thing reads as one unhurried, well-made place. The spa, the cellar restaurant, and the outdoor pool fill the days without any fuss, and the bathrooms alone would satisfy a serious inspector.
-
A modernist luxury boutique hotel on Mallorca's north coast, tucked against the jagged Cavall Bernat peaks with the sea directly below. Rooms come with cerulean-tiled spa bathrooms and balconies; some have private pools, others share one that runs the full length of the building. The rooftop, though, is the argument: another pool, a cocktail bar, and open views straight out to the Mediterranean.
-
A stone-and-timber farmhouse on the quiet east side of Mallorca, as far from Palma as you can reasonably get, and adults-only, so the name does most of the work. This small rural hotel keeps the interiors warm and minimalist, with a spa running a heated pool, hammam, and sauna. The restaurant swings from unpretentious breakfasts to a vivid modern menu at dinner, paired with Mallorcan wines.
-
Toni Esteva's architecture sets the tone here: a restored Mallorcan farmhouse fanned out across nearly two dozen casas and casitas, each one different, all of them serious about privacy. This is a wellness retreat bordering the Parc Natural de Llevant, with spa, yoga, and forest walks built into the rhythm of the day. The restaurant pulls from the estate's own garden, olives, and vines. Michelin awarded it one Key.
