Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa
Noble manor, slow luxury. All terracotta warmth, Gothic arches, woven fabrics, and the stag-emblazoned family crest of the Boixador barons scattered throughout. Very quiet, very adult. Feels more private residence than hotel — the kind of place where you disappear into a sofa with an art book and lose an afternoon.
The Preference Duplex Room wins on space and views — massive bed, his-and-hers sinks, and a direct sightline to the Basilica de Sant Francesc
Why It Matters
One of the oldest buildings operating as a boutique hotel in Palma, built in 1576 and once the commercial and trade epicenter of the Mediterranean island. Awarded a Michelin Key in 2024. Redesigned by Rockwell Group (the studio behind some of New York's most celebrated hospitality spaces). Ranked #2 of 1,125 hotels in Palma on TripAdvisor. Holds a Sustainability Seal from Spain's ITE (Institute for Tourism Quality).
A 16th-century manor house in Palma's Old Town, this was the former curia of the Barony of Bunyolí — home to the Boixador barons who brought their antlered heraldic crest from the medieval Kingdom of Aragon. It opened as a 26-room hotel in 2014 and was given a complete redesign in 2024 by Rockwell Group's Madrid studio, built around four pillars: heritage, post-luxury, slow design, and layers. Think terracotta plaster walls, five Gothic stone arches, centuries-old grain jars, woven tapestry headboards, and travertine vanities. The rooftop plunge pool looks straight over Palma's rooftops to the Basilica de Sant Francesc. Earned a Michelin Key in 2024.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Preference Room
The hotel's cosiest room at 25 m². King-size bed, pillow menu, and the kind of sepulchral silence that makes a nap feel genuinely luxurious. The 16th-century manor house character comes through in the stonework and wooden floors. Some rooms on ground floor have been adapted with roll-in showers for accessibility.
25 sqm
Preferential Duplex Room
Two-storey layout — sitting area on the ground floor, bedroom with a massive bed upstairs. Beamed ceiling, retro detailing (mini searchlights, a rotary phone, mounted toy boat), and views across to the Basilica de Sant Francesc. His-and-hers sinks in the bathroom. Mr & Mrs Smith's pick for the best room in the house.
40 sqm
Preferential Suite (Baron's Suite)
The hotel's top room — 52 m² of space marked by Renaissance stone arches and contemporary furnishings. Views look onto the central courtyard. Double-aspect windows flood the room with light. Comes with a Nespresso machine and all the standard room amenities.
52 sqm
Superior Room
30 m² of elegance and functionality. Windows look onto quiet inner courtyards or the medieval lanes of central Palma. Generous bathrooms with walk-in showers, and beds described as 'oh so tempting to jump on.' Woven tapestry headboard and travertine vanity from the 2024 Rockwell Group redesign.
