4 new hotel openings in Mallorca to watch in 2026

Few Palma hotels carry their previous life this visibly. Casa Roca occupies the former home of a five-generation stationery business and retail store whose roots reach back to 1847, with owner Susan Butler spending a decade restoring the property rather than erasing it. The 1929 building by Mallorcan architect Francisco Roca Simó retains its dark timber cabinetry, marble, ironwork and Art Deco character, while rooms take names from the Roca family and the store’s staff. Downstairs, Capítulo doubles as wine bar and tasting room, pouring more than 40 Mallorcan wines by the glass. Suites, residences and a rooftop penthouse make the small-scale hotel work for longer stays too.

El Terreno, the Palma neighbourhood between Bellver Castle, the port and its old nightlife past, has a hotel that understands its complicated charm. Terreno Barrio Hotel has 41 rooms across two buildings: a protected 1935 structure by architect Francesc Casas and a newer seven-storey CLT timber building by Palma-based architecture studio Ohlab. The programme is deliberately porous, with café, coworking, bookshop-gallery, pop-ups, gym, spa, cinema, restaurant Destape and rooftop moments folded into the stay. Stay here for Palma with some grit still showing, plus architecture that gives the neighbourhood a role beyond pretty backdrop for once.
