Adults-only hotels in Mallorca

Quiet hotels from age 16 or 18 – often with the longest opening season on the island.

Many adults-only hotels are also open in the low season.

The short answer

What does adults only actually mean in Mallorca?

Adults-only hotels only accept guests above a minimum age, usually 16 or 18. In Mallorca they are concentrated in Palma, the Bay of Palma, the south-west around Portals and Peguera, and in Cala d'Or and Port de Sóller. Many of these hotels are open all year round or from March to November.

What adults only actually changes in Mallorca

  • Peace at the pool instead of entertainment

    No children's pool, no microphone, no pool games. The difference is more noticeable during the day than in the evening.

  • Longer season

    Because the target group is not tied to school holidays, many hotels open earlier in the year and close later – ideal for walking in March or cycling in October.

  • Smaller hotels

    In Mallorca, adults only often means a converted town palace or a boutique hotel with 40 to 80 rooms rather than a large resort.

  • Different locations

    Instead of being right on the beach, many hotels are in old towns, at marinas or on hillsides with a view – deliberately so, but not always convenient.

Regions compared

  • Palma and the Bay of Palma

    City hotels open all year round, short transfer times and a choice that does not depend on the swimming season.

  • South-west: Portals, Peguera, Camp de Mar

    Marinas, well-kept promenades and many upper-mid-range hotels with sea views.

  • Cala d'Or and the south-east

    Quiet cove locations, but often with steps down to the water and a much shorter season.

  • Port de Sóller

    A combination of mountain scenery, a sheltered bay and the tram – the strongest address for a walking holiday without a hire car.

Always check the age limit

Some hotels can only be booked from 18, others from 16, and others are adults only only in the high season. The limit is stated in the hotel's terms, not in the category name.
