Ten minutes west of Palma, this hotel was once a grand residence, and later one of Mallorca's top nightclubs. Today, the Hospes Maricel carries on the tradition of decadence.
EXPERIENCE
Following a redesign by architect Xavier Claramunt, the Hospes Maricel seamlessly blends the past with the present. The ancient stone facade and entrance contrast with a contemporary interior, and in the bright, well-lit rooms, plentiful white space is set off with dark wood fixtures and furnishings.
The hotel's terrace faces the sea, where an infinity pool opens onto the Mediterranean. This is where you will find the Maricel restaurant. Here, you can sample fresh seafood and sip a chilled glass of cava. Early risers can savor the breakfast, where there's no buffet or menu - rather, unique daily courses are served until you say when.
There's plenty to see in nearby Palma, from the Arab-influenced architecture in the Old City to football matches. If you spend your afternoons at the hotel, spoil yourself in the Bodyna spa. Get an award-winning treatment, take a pilates class, or sip fresh tropical juice - all in the sanctuary of a seaside cavern.
The Hospes Maricel is located by the sea in Calviā, with great views of the Mediterranean. It's a short 10-minute taxi from the historic cathedrals and hot clubs of Palma de Mallorca, and 15 minutes from the city's bustling airport.
