10 Spanish Island Hotels That Are All Over Our Social Media

Nothing says “choose your own adventure” quite like a spin through Spain’s Balearic Islands, a sunny archipelago with diverse landscapes and activities. Do you like your beaches studded with daybeds or DJ booths? In the mood for mountain biking or wine tasting? Whether you’re drawn to lively towns or sleepy hamlets where sheep outnumber people, you can plan an entire itinerary around any of the above—or mix and match a little of everything for a particularly memorable visit. 

Once you’ve decided on your vacation vibe, finding a hotel to match is easy in the Balearics. There’s something for everyone there, from boutique bolt-holes in the center of it all to secluded 16th-century farmhouses in the middle of nowhere. Stay at Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor, for example, to experience a piece of Spanish history, or book Six Senses Ibiza for a wellness-focused weekend away. Below, find even more ideas for where to base yourself in the Balearics. (Photo courtesy of Six Senses Ibiza.)

La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel (Deià, Mallorca)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel

Deià, deep in the Tramuntana mountains, is one of Mallorca’s most alluring villages, with its old stone houses and narrow alleys. At its heart lies La Residencia, a property spread across a warren of red-roofed buildings draped in bougainvillea. Two manor houses from the 16th and 17th centuries were fused to create the 70-room resort four decades ago, and it’s been a haven for Mallorca’s art community ever since. In fact, the hotel’s expansive collection features more than 800 works, including 33 paintings by Joan Miró. If you’re feeling inspired, sign up for a complimentary class with the artist in residence or a studio tour through the village. 

 

Finca Serena Mallorca (Montuïri, Mallorca)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel

In a world where you’re so often overwhelmed by options, there’s something refreshing about a vacation without too many choices. At Finca Serena Mallorca, a remote 25-room retreat in the heart of the island’s pastoral interior, decisions are easy: There’s just one restaurant, Jacaranda, and two patios, albeit with different views. Days here are full of simple pleasures, like biking or hiking through 100 acres of olive groves and vineyards, swimming in the stunner of a pool just below the original 13th-century farmhouse or lounging by the indoor spa pool tucked inside a former cowshed. In other words, bliss. 

 

Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor (Port de Pollença, Mallorca)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel

The original Hotel Formentor is one of Spain’s most storied properties. Built nearly a century ago by a wealthy Argentine visionary, the resort welcomed guests like Grace Kelly and Charlie Chaplin by boat for decades. Following a transformation by the Four Seasons, the hotel debuted a new look in August 2024 with 110 soothing rooms, 1,200 acres of working vineyards and olive groves, and direct access to one of Mallorca’s most-loved beaches. The timeworn steps leading down to the jetty remain untouched, however, so guests can still arrive by water just like they did a hundred years ago. 

 

Grand Hotel Son Net (Puigpunyent, Mallorca)

You’ll feel the centuries slipping away as you drive up to Grand Hotel Son Net, an ivy-clad palacio dating to 1672. Though it may be fresh from a three-year restoration, the estate’s old-world charm prevails. No two of the 31 rooms are alike, but they’re all equally attractive: a feast of boldly mismatched patterns and rich colors, many with original frescoes and wood-beamed ceilings intact. In pleasing contrast to the maximalist interiors are the manicured gardens and tranquil orchards, which cast a calming aura over the resort. All this, a mere 30 minutes from Palma. 

 

Portella (Palma, Mallorca)

Steps from the medieval gate for which it’s named, Portella is a chic addition to Palma’s historic center, set in a renewed 17th-century mansion. The 14 rooms have cloudlike beds and Diptyque bath products, and many come with fully appointed kitchens—if it all starts feeling homey, that’s exactly the point. Breakfast is served in the lounge until a respectable 1 p.m., and the plant-filled interior courtyard, anchored by a petit plunge pool, beckons for languid afternoons spent reading in the shade. If you do decide to leave, both the sea and the sights are mere minutes away.

 

Vestige Son Vell (Ciutadella, Menorca)

With its 18th-century sandstone villa flanked by fig and olive trees and shaded by towering oaks and palms, Son Vell, which debuted in a quiet town in Menorca’s western reaches in 2023, looks like the backdrop for an elegant period drama. But this is not a set. The estate’s 33 rooms and seemingly endless gardens make up a very real—and very charming—place to stay. You could lie by the pool or catch a movie in the alfresco cinema, but the best way to experience the 450-acre property is through a horseback-riding lesson on the estate.

 

Cap Menorca (Alaior, Menorca)

Going from a military base to a Relais & Châteaux resort is an unlikely path. But one look at Cap Menorca, with its expansive gardens on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, and it all makes sense. There are only 15 suites spread across the 75-acre property, which makes for a very pleasing guest-to-tree ratio—and each of those suites comes with a private saltwater pool. Soak it all in from the rooftop restaurant, Vigía de Mar, which is one of the best spots in Menorca for a sunset glass of wine. 

 

Mondrian Ibiza (Cala Llonga, Ibiza)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel

Ibiza has no shortage of attention-grabbing hotels. Still, Mondrian Ibiza stands out as one of 2024’s hottest openings. Housed in a 1970s building on the island’s eastern coast, it’s bold and lively, with 154 rooms, contemporary artwork and midcentury furniture, plus sweeping views of Cala Llonga beach (one of the best in Ibiza). The hotel’s proximity to its neighboring sister property, Hyde Ibiza, comes with a bonus: a wealth of buzzy restaurants for guests, from the pulsing beach club and more relaxed Bungalow pool bar to the Japanese-inspired Niko and classic Spanish Sonrojo. 

 

Six Senses Ibiza (Sant Joan de Labritja, Ibiza)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel

If you think wellness won’t be a big part of your Ibiza experience, think again: The White Isle may have acquired a reputation for hedonism over the years, but it’s long been a haven for holistic pursuits as well. Etched into a hillside on the island’s more tranquil northern coast, Six Senses—a brand more synonymous with eco-resorts than electronica—lends itself to exploring Ibiza’s spiritual side. The 137 rooms, which range from pool suites to caves carved out of limestone cliffs, are a backdrop to sunset sage sessions, after-party detoxes and multiday spa journeys.

 

Montesol Experimental (Ibiza Town, Ibiza)

A revamp of Ibiza’s first hotel, built in the 1930s, Montesol Experimental brings whimsy to the Old Town. The buttercup-yellow neocolonial facade gives way to eclectic interiors and 33 pastel rooms and suites, filled with sinuous curves, varied textures, boldly patterned headboards and playful clay furniture. Experimental is in the name, after all. And just because you’re opting to stay in the capital doesn’t mean you can’t clock plenty of beach time; Experimental Beach, a restaurant and beach club, is just a 20-minute drive away.
