Zel Mallorca

For laid-back vibes, easy access to the beach and a hip, contemporary aesthetic, this hotel on Majorca’s southwest coast ticks all the boxes. You’ll find it right on the seafront, with a beautiful stretch of soft, golden sand right on its doorstep and the many bars, restaurants and shops of Palma Nova close by.

Between the beach and the two outdoor pools (which are flanked by super comfy sunbeds and thatched, tropical-style parasols), you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding your perfect spot to soak up the sun and enjoy refreshing dips. 

Keeping up your fitness routine is no trouble here, with a well-equipped gym and yoga classes on offer, while a pampering session at the spa is always on the cards when you feel like taking your relaxation up a notch. 

Beso Beach is the ultimate seafront dining spot, with buffet and à la carte service covering a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes. It’s also a prime setting to kick back and unwind with a cocktail or an ice-cold beer – particularly while watching the sun set over the Mediterranean Sea.
