Es Princep
Contemporary Mediterranean luxury with serious local character. Dark wood, stone, and leather pay homage to Mallorcan country fincas — it doesn't feel like a chain hotel. Intimate scale, warm service, and a genuine connection to old Palma.
Book Zaranda well in advance — it operates only Wednesday to Saturday evenings and fills up fast
Why It Matters
TripAdvisor's #1 hotel in Palma de Mallorca (out of 97), a Michelin Key recipient, member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and Condé Nast Johansens Award for Excellence winner in 2020, 2023, and 2025. The only hotel in central Palma where every room faces the sea. Has a Michelin-starred restaurant on-site.
Es Príncep sits directly atop the Baluard Es Príncep fortifications in Palma's historic Calatrava district, opened in spring 2018 and named after the prince who oversaw the original construction of those very walls. It's a 5-star boutique hotel — just 68 rooms — where every single room has a sea view by design, floor-to-ceiling windows pulling in the Bay of Palma or the city walls depending on your floor. The on-site Zaranda carries a Michelin star, the Cocó Spa runs 18 metres of indoor pool underground, and the rooftop Almaq terrace is 800 square metres of sun loungers, a swimming pool, and panoramic views stretching to the cathedral.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Deluxe Lateral Sea View
Spacious 25-30 sqm rooms dotted throughout the building with wide-open views over the historic city walls. The lateral sea glimpse makes them popular mid-tier picks. Full amenity suite included: Nespresso, minibar, AC, flat-screen TV, en suite bathroom, luxury toiletries, and free spa access.
28 sqm
Junior Suite
These 35 sqm suites occupy the first two floors and offer old town or historic city wall views. Grand rooms with proper sitting areas — king bed, sink-in armchairs, and a work desk. Full amenity set with Nespresso, minibar, flat-screen TV, en suite bathroom, and free spa access.
35 sqm
Junior Suite Sea View
The 35 sqm sea-view junior suites are on the top floors of the building, flooded with natural light. They look out over both the historical city walls and the open sea — one of the best all-round outlooks in the hotel. Full amenities included with free Coco Spa access.
35 sqm
Premium Sea View
Thirty square metres with panoramic sea views that are, as the hotel puts it, 'second to none.' A big step up in terms of outlook — wake up to the full Bay of Palma. Same thorough amenity set: Nespresso, minibar, AC, flat-screen TV, en suite bathroom, and free Coco Spa access.
30 sqm
Signature Palma Sea View Suite
The top of the stack at 55 sqm. Located on the hotel's highest floors with unobstructed views across the Bay of Palma as far as the eye can see.

Free spa access, Nespresso, minibar, and the full luxury amenity set.
55 sqm
Standard
These 22 sqm rooms sit on the lower floors and look out onto a charming narrow lane typical of Palma's old town.

22 sqm
