Posada Terra Santa
Manor house-turned boutique hotel Posada Terra Santa is well camouflaged amid a hotchpotch of alleys and saffron-hued buildings in Palma’s Old Town. In fact, this 16th-century home to Boixador barons and monied Palmesanos is a little hard to find, but the pay off for map fumbling is a serene, leafy courtyard leading to an intimate stay. It’s modernised with eye-catching art and curios (we like the plaster stag heads in the lounge), a dinky spa and rooftop pool, but there’s plenty of weathered stone and wooden beams for history buffs to coo over.
Tucked away in a quiet back street, the hotel’s hidden in Palma’s Old Town. The Basilica de Sant Francesc is a few steps from the door; the cathedral is a 10-minute walk, and the coast is 15 minutes away.
Room Types
Standard Room
White walls and hardwood floors make these 20–25sq m rooms light and bright. Each has a sizeable bed with a thick, springy mattress, Egyptian linens and a frame head board, flanked by tea-chest bedside tables. There’s a small seating area with wingback chairs and quirky touches: vintage rotary phones, orchids in baskets and one room has a flutter of metal butterflies swooping up a bathroom wall. There’s a rainfall shower, and rooms have a Bluetooth-enabled 42” flatscreen TV, WiFi, a minibar, bathrobes and Prija bath products.
from £374
Superior Room
Decorated in dove grey with flashes of artfully tarnished silver, with hardwood floors and white walls, these 25–30sq m rooms are stylish yet characterful – vintage rotary phones adorn upcycled tea-chests, baskets of orchids sit atop rustic tables and the bathrooms have mod frescoes and and a rainfall shower. Beds are large and bouncy (with a 32cm mattress), draped in Egyptian cotton linens, and there’s small seating area with two wingback armchairs. Rooms have a Bluetooth-enabled 42” flatscreen TV, WiFi, a minibar, bathrobes and Prija bath products.
from £420
Preferential Room
Tactile velvets and silks, a king-size bed (some rooms have a modern four-poster) and Egyptian-cotton linens: these sizeable rooms (30–35sq m) are comfortable yet stylish, while hardwood floors and white walls keep them light and bright. Large bathrooms are slightly sunken with a rainfall shower, some (not all) rooms also have a bath tub. We especially like the retro rotary phones on tea-chest bed-side tables, pairs of orchids planted in baskets and the splashes of lilac and turquoise in the bedroom. Rooms have a Bluetooth-enabled 42” flatscreen TV, WiFi, a minibar, bathrobes and Prija bath products. Extra beds (€120 a child, a day) and cots (free) can be added on request.
from £488
Duplex Room
Decked out in dove grey and lilac, with wooden floors, beamed ceiling and white walls, these light and airy rooms (34–39sq m) are spread over two levels. On the upper floor, there’s a bed framed with an artfully tarnished silver headboard, and they’re topped with bouncy mattresses and Egyptian cotton linens. The ensuite leads off from there, with an oversize rainfall shower twin sinks and an elegant faux fresco on the walls. Characterful design details throughout include mounted toy ships, retro spotlights and a rotary phone on a bedside table crafted from a tea chest. On the lower level there’s a sitting room, and all rooms have a Bluetooth-enabled 42” flatscreen TV, WiFi, a minibar, bathrobes and Prija bath products. Extra beds (€120 a child, a day) and cots (free) can be added on request.
from £540
Baron Suite
A grand 45sq m in size, this suite has a ceiling lined with painted wooden beams, wood floors and white walls, and a centrepiece four-poster bed, with a thick, buncy mattress and Egyptian-cotton linens. There’s an open-plan seating area with a button-back sofa and wingback armchairs, and the bathroom is the only one in the hotel with a bath tub and rainfall shower. Model boats are mounted on the walls, statement pieces are crafted from tea chests and a vintage rotary phone ads a touch of old-school charm. The suite has a 55” Smart TV, WiFi, minibar, bathrobes and Prija bath products.
