Mallorca travel tips: These hotels and restaurants for romantic getaways you should know

Stunning nature, beautiful beaches, and plenty of sunshine – it's not for nothing that Mallorca is one of the top travel destinations for Germans. And that's perhaps why this otherwise beautiful island is somewhat underrated – but: If you know how (and especially where!), Mallorca can also become the perfect honeymoon destination. There's a lot going on here: especially for a honeymoon getaway, you can make the most of this Balearic paradise in just a few days and experience the island in a whole new way through its most romantic spots (rock-side restaurants, boutique hotels , finca farms, etc.).

The 5 most beautiful hotels in Mallorca at a glance Enjoy a private time together: Cap Rocat

Imposing rocky backdrop: the "Cap Rocat"

On the steep cliffs of Palma de Mallorca, somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle on a headland, lies one of the island's most beautiful hotels, a former 19th-century fortress built into the rocks, with a magical view over the sea. "Cap Rocat" not only offers a dream setting for weddings, but also allows couples (and other visitors) to enjoy the privacy of their own four walls in just 30 rooms and suites – complete with a garden and pool. In addition to the fine dining restaurant "Fortress" and the more casual "Spot Sea Club" (the latter is located directly on the cliff and offers the most beautiful sea views, especially at sunset), the spa built into the limestone of the fortress is also a highlight: Twelve meters below ground, you can float in the saltwater pool and gaze at the sun through the glass ceiling.

In the middle of Palma: the “Can Bordoy”

In the heart of Palma de Mallorca's old town lies a little hidden gem , one you really have to find first. The boutique hotel "Can Bordoy" is tucked away on a small street behind a large wall and an ornate lattice door. Only after entering through the stylish lobby, the hip bar, and Mallorca's new "it" restaurant, "Botanic" (branches entwine from the walls to the ceiling), do you reach the back garden, where the attention to detail really catches your eye: small, pretty marble tables where breakfast is served all day for late risers, colorful outdoor furniture in cozy seating areas, a charming pool—all under lemon trees. You can also relax on a few loungers at the rooftop pool with a view over the rooftops of Palma and breathe in the Mallorcan flair.

The perfect beach day: Assaona Gastrobeach

Chilling under straw umbrellas on the beach (on a lounger or in a hammock), dipping your feet in the sea, or wiggling your toes to lounge music while sipping a sangria... Sometimes the simple things are so good. At the "Assaona Beach Club," you can relax and let the day drift, before heading to the restaurant for a sundowner and dinner in the evening. From traditional gazpacho to Iberian ham and ceviche, the menu, with its view of the sea and sunset, leaves nothing to be desired.

In Port de Sóller, there's a boho Instagram dream come true, one you might expect to find more in Ibiza than Mallorca: "Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" seems to be the motto here, and various song lyrics line the colorful stairs leading from the town up to the hotel. With a view over the bay, you can relax by the pool with its peace symbol during the day, enjoy a sundowner upstairs at the "Donkey Bar" with the best drinks in the colorful terrace lounge, and in the evening, the trendy "Neni" restaurant serves the most delicious Israeli food (note: make reservations early, it's always fully booked!) from celebrity chef Haya Molcho.

Located in the super-stylish Can Alomar Hotel, right on one of Palma's main streets, the new (yet tranquil) hotspot "De Tokio A Lima" serves the finest Mediterranean fusion cuisine with art. Changing exhibitions by contemporary artists are showcased even more coolly in the rooms inspired by English clubs, and the enjoyment is finally intensified outside on the terrace overlooking the city, where you can enjoy beef tataki or tuna tartare with a glass of rosé champagne and sink into the deep upholstered benches.

Dancing above the rooftops: Hostal Cuba Rooftop Bar

If you want to experience the Palma vibe with atmospheric music (changing DJs invite you to dance), good drinks, and an absolutely stunning view of the old town, you have to stop for a few drinks at the rooftop bar of the "Hostal Cuba" after your dinner date. It's no wonder this spot is so popular with Mallorcans, and you'll meet more than just tourists here...

Enjoying shared solitude: Finca Serena Mallorca

Unwind, enjoy the peace and quiet, be alone together and immersed in nature: There's hardly anywhere better than the "Finca Serena." Located in the heart of Montuïri, surrounded by the farm's own vineyards and orchards, lies one of the island's most charming hotels. Rustic and romantic, but no less chic: The minimalist, stylish rooms are located in the main building or spread throughout the grounds. In the evening, you can dine in the glass pavilion in a beautiful setting, and in the morning, you'll be reliably woken by the rooster. Breakfast is served fresh from and in the courtyard, you can relax by the somewhat secluded pool, and on the extensive grounds, you have to be careful not to get lost – it's a good thing that hiking trails always lead you back to the right path...

Creating experiences: Sa Foradada

The fact that you can only reach this place by boat (or by taking a short hike) makes "Sa Foradada" on Mallorca's north coast a highlight in itself – turning a simple restaurant visit into an entire excursion. Hidden at the foot of the mountains, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies the restaurant, or, as they call it here, the Mediterranean balcony, where you can gaze out over the expanse of the sea while enjoying traditional paella.

Is Mallorca expensive for tourists?

Mallorca can be expensive – but it doesn't have to be. Especially during high season, prices for hotels, rental cars, and beach chairs skyrocket, especially in busy regions like Palma or Port d'Alcúdia. But beyond the tourist centers, a different side of the island reveals itself: In small villages inland or on quieter stretches of coast, you'll find stylish, often family-run accommodations that offer not only charm but also good value for money. Those looking to explore culinary delights don't necessarily have to go to a gourmet restaurant: In traditional tapas bars, small eateries, and lively weekly markets, you can enjoy authentic Mallorcan cuisine at reasonable prices – often in a much more relaxed atmosphere than in the larger resorts.

When is it cheapest in Mallorca?

The cheapest time to travel to Mallorca is outside of peak tourist season. Especially in late autumn – around November – or early spring, such as February or March, the island reveals its quiet, unspoiled side. Temperatures are mild, the beaches are virtually deserted, and cultural life takes center stage. During this time, flights and accommodation are not only significantly cheaper but also more readily available. Ideal for those who want to discover Mallorca away from the crowds and travel in style but on a budget.
