In short: Twelve luxury spa hotels in Mallorca, each with a genuine spa operation and strong guest scores. Choose Son Brull for the monastery estate with the highest score in our selection (9.7), Es Príncep for Palma's best city spa, Pleta de Mar for adults-only seaside seclusion — or Zafiro Palace Alcudia if the family is coming too.
Mallorca has quietly become perhaps the Mediterranean's best spa island. The range runs from monastery estates in the Tramuntana to rooftop spas in Palma's old town — and competition has pushed quality upward across the field. Here are our selected luxury spa hotels on the island, ranked and explained.
We have been strict in the selection: every hotel below has a genuine spa operation with treatments (a gym with a sauna does not count), at least four stars and strong guest scores. The figures shown against each hotel are counted from real guest reviews — never estimated.
How we ranked these hotels
The order rests on guest scores from Booking and Google, the counted review themes from our review analyses (shown against the hotels), and how central the spa experience is to the whole — a hotel where the spa is the heart ranks above one where it is an add-on. Under every hotel we explain why it sits where it sits.
Where on Mallorca should a spa traveller stay?
Palma's old town (Es Príncep, El Llorenç, Sant Francesc, Can Bordoy, Nobis) suits those pairing spa time with restaurants and city life — everything within walking distance, no hire car needed. Rural estates and fincas (Son Brull, Son Net, Finca Serena, Carrossa) are the retreat options: total stillness, their own gardens and Tramuntana or olive-grove views, but plan on a hire car. The coast offers Pleta de Mar at Canyamel for adults-only seclusion, Portixol for harbour life with sea swimming, and Zafiro Palace Alcudia for families who want the spa within the resort walls.
From Palma airport, the old-town hotels are 15–20 minutes away, the western estates 30–40 minutes, and the east coast (Canyamel, Artà) just under an hour.
We analysed the 617 most recently available guest reviews (Booking + Google) across the 12 hotels below — every figure is counted, never estimated. Reviews harvested August 2026.

1Mallorca, Spain
32 of 32 mentions of service & staff are positive · 14 of 14 mentions of food & restaurants are positive
Son Brull outside Pollença tops the list at 9.7 on Booking — a 17th-century monastery turned Relais & Châteaux estate where the spa is built into the old vaults.
Treatments use oils from the estate's own olive and herb gardens, and the pool landscape looks out over the Tramuntana foothills.
A grown-up, quietly luxurious spa estate for Mallorca's rural side.
Why this rank: The highest Booking score in our selection and a spa experience woven into the estate rather than bolted on — the combination beats everything else on the island.

Pleta de Mar at Canyamel (9.6) is an adults-only hideaway of just 30 suites where nature itself is the spa concept — sea-facing treatment rooms, two infinity pools and Marc Fosh cooking.
The beach lies directly below, and the pace is the calmest on the entire east coast.
Why this rank: A whisker behind first on score and the island's most secluded spa setting — second only because the facilities are smaller than Son Brull's.
3Mallorca, Spain
20 of 20 mentions of service & staff are positive · 13 of 13 mentions of location are positive
Es Príncep in Palma's old town (9.5 from over a thousand guests) crowns the city options: a rooftop pool above the sea walls and a spa built into the vaults of an old tannery.
The La Calatrava location puts the cathedral and harbour promenade within strolling distance.
Why this rank: The best city spa — and the most proven score on the list, with 1,047 reviews behind its 9.5.
4Mallorca, Spain
30 of 30 mentions of service & staff are positive · 16 of 16 mentions of location are positive
El Llorenç Parc de la Mar (9.4) is the adults-only choice (16+) in the old town, with a rooftop pool, hammam and perhaps Palma's most handsome compact spa suite.
For couples pairing a city break with proper treatments, this is the first port of call.
Why this rank: Shares the city virtues with Es Príncep but is smaller — the adults-only profile makes it the right pick for couples without children, hence the spot just behind.
5Mallorca, Spain
48 of 48 mentions of service & staff are positive · 34 of 34 mentions of location are positive
Sant Francesc Hotel Singular (9.4) occupies a neoclassical palace on one of the old town's quietest squares — rooftop pool, treatment rooms and one of Palma's most talked-about breakfasts.
Why this rank: Palace atmosphere and location in the top tier; the spa is smaller than Es Príncep's and El Llorenç's, which explains fifth place.
6Mallorca, Spain
37 of 37 mentions of food & restaurants are positive · 34 of 34 mentions of service & staff are positive
Portixol Hotel & Restaurant (9.3) in the old fishing harbour southeast of the centre is the Scandinavian favourite — sea swims from the jetty, a sauna and spa treatments with harbour views.
Come for the combination of a morning dip, spa time and one of the island's best hotel restaurants.
Why this rank: Unique harbour character and sea bathing outweigh a smaller spa — best for those who want the water itself, not just the pool.
716 of 16 mentions of service & staff are positive · 12 of 12 mentions of location are positive
Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden (9.3) has Palma's largest private garden — and a spa in the foundations of a 16th-century palace with pool, hammam and privately bookable treatments.
Sixteen suites mean it never feels shared.
Why this rank: The most private spa format in town — the whole facility can effectively become yours — but its size limits those wanting a full-service spa.
8Mallorca, Spain
15 of 15 mentions of service & staff are positive · 10 of 10 mentions of food & restaurants are positive
Grand Hotel Son Net (9.3) in the mountain village of Puigpunyent is the estate with Tramuntana views — an outdoor pool among cypresses, a newly renovated spa and a wine cellar in the rock.
Why this rank: Mountain setting and estate feel are world class; the spa is newly opened and still unproven in guest data, hence a mid-table spot despite high potential.
9Mallorca, Spain
22 of 22 mentions of service & staff are positive · 17 of 20 mentions of food & restaurants are positive
Carrossa Hotel & Spa (9.2) above Artà is eastern Mallorca's spa flagship — 1,500 square metres of spa, an indoor pool and villas with private pools among the olive groves.
Why this rank: One of the island's largest spa areas outside Palma and the best pick for pairing treatments with hiking in the east — a score a notch below the top settles the placing.
10Mallorca, Spain
20 of 20 mentions of location are positive · 10 of 10 mentions of noise levels are positive
Finca Serena (9.1) in the island's centre is the adults-only finca with lavender fields, an infinity pool and a serene spa stocked with Susanne Kaufmann products.
Come for total silence — the nearest village is several kilometres away.
Why this rank: The purest retreat option on the list; fewer facilities than the estates above it, hence the placing — but the silence is unmatched.
11Mallorca, Spain
20 of 20 mentions of condition & cleanliness are positive · 15 of 15 mentions of service & staff are positive
Nobis Hotel Palma (9.1) is the Swedish design hotel in a 13th-century palace — a spa in the vaults below street level with pool, sauna and treatment rooms.
Why this rank: Scandinavian design meets medieval stone — the spa is compact but accomplished, and the central location makes it an effortless city choice.
12Mallorca, Spain
20 of 20 mentions of service & staff are positive · 15 of 24 mentions of food & restaurants are positive
Zafiro Palace Alcudia (9.1) is the family option on the list — a five-star resort whose spa is large enough to be its own world, with indoor pool, hammam and couples' treatments.
While the children run the pool landscape, a genuinely adult spa awaits.
Why this rank: The only hotel on the list offering a full-scale spa AND a family resort at once — the placing reflects that its calm cannot match the adults-only houses.
