Some hotels are designed so that you stop thinking about everything else the moment you arrive. The Iberostar Selection Playa de Palma is exactly that kind of place. Set directly on the sand of Palma Bay, it opens onto a clear Mediterranean blue, the kind you picture from home and find here, visible from almost every room. The Majorcan light floods in through the floor-to-ceiling windows each morning, the architectural lines are clean and contemporary, and the salt air reaches you before you've even unpacked. Five stars that don't announce themselves, they simply make themselves felt.

Arrival

The hotel sits five minutes from Palma Airport, which in practice means the stress of travel dissolves before it has time to settle in. No long shuttle ride, no waiting around, just bags down and the Mediterranean already visible from the lobby. The interior design has been crafted with genuine care. Every detail in the common areas has been chosen to create a bright yet calming atmosphere that blends contemporary design with Mediterranean warmth. Rooms range from 30 sqm for the partial sea-view doubles up to 42 sqm for the junior suites. Those looking for the best position in the building will want the sea-view priority location junior suite on the 5th floor, which frames the bay from the moment you open your eyes. The Star Prestige area, reserved for guests aged 15 and over, adds a further layer of exclusivity with access to private facilities including the rooftop infinity pool. Staying in this wing means choosing a level of personalised service that comes through in every interaction with the team.

Dining, all included

Gastronomy is one of the hotel's stated pillars, and it becomes clear very quickly why. The Playa Blanca Restaurant is the central dining space, built around Mediterranean produce and flavours, where natural light plays its own role in shaping the meal. For wine lovers, the Playa Blanca Bodega is a dedicated wine cellar integrated into the hotel itself, a feature rarely found in all-inclusive properties in the region and a sign of genuine gastronomic ambition. The Pool Bar offers a relaxed setting for lunch or a light bite without leaving the water's edge. The Sunset Champagne Bar is made for late afternoons facing the sea, a glass in hand as the Majorcan light turns golden over the bay. We invite you to verify the details of the all-inclusive offer directly on the Iberostar website, as inclusions may vary depending on the season and room type booked.

Days by the water

Palma Beach stretches directly in front of the hotel, reachable in seconds on foot. The sand is fine, the bay calm, and the orientation of the coastline means sunlight is plentiful throughout the day. This is a simple but fundamental luxury, no road to cross, no ten-minute walk to reach the water. The Star Prestige adults-only rooftop houses an infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean, a high-up sanctuary designed for genuine rest, away from the energy of the main pool areas. For cycling enthusiasts, the hotel is an ideal starting point for routes along the Palma coastline. If you bring your own bike, storage is available in the hotel garage. The fitness room is open 24 hours a day with treadmills, exercise bikes and multi-function machines. The SPA Sensations offers Oriental massages, volcanic stone therapy, facials, manicures and pedicures, as well as a full wet area including sauna, whirlpool bath, sensations shower, bucket shower and steam bath. Spa treatments are available on request during opening hours of 10am to 7pm, and are bookable as a supplement.

Evening vibes

The Sunset Champagne Bar comes into its own as the sun drops over Palma Bay. It is the place for a quiet glass of champagne with someone you want to impress, the atmosphere measured and intimate in contrast with the daytime energy of the pool. The Playa Blanca Bodega invites you to extend the evening over a considered wine selection in a more private setting. With Palma city centre just fifteen minutes away, those who want to explore the old town after dinner can do so easily before returning to the relative quiet of Playa de Palma for the night.

Who is it for?

The Iberostar Selection Playa de Palma speaks primarily to couples looking for a refined Mediterranean escape where architecture, gastronomy and beachfront access form a coherent whole. The Star Prestige adults-only rooftop makes it a particularly strong choice for duos who want an exclusive and calm environment without giving up the energy of a full resort. Families travelling with teenagers aged 15 and over can also access the Star Prestige area. The immediate proximity to the airport makes this hotel an excellent choice for short breaks of three to five nights, with no precious holiday time lost in transit. Older travellers will appreciate the quality of the finishes, the fully equipped spa and the effortless beach access.
