Hotel Saratoga
A city break to Palma, Mallorca
For a three or four day city break, Palma de Mallorca has it all. It is stylish and intimate, yet bursting with life and energy all year round, with luxury hotels, trendy and affordable restaurants, cafes, shops and nightlife as well as a thriving arts and culture scene. There is lots to see and do, with its bay and marina life adding a sense of being on a permanent holiday.
We have been to Palma a number of times and each time we discover new places to visit and things to do, but we always stay in the Saratoga Hotel. It is just around the corner from the main shopping street Jaume III and within easy walking distance of the cobbled alleyways of the old town (which is a shoppers delight) and the marina with its lovely restaurants. With a rooftop pool and bar, it is a great place to have a glass of wine and take in the views. The inner courtyard on the ground floor with a small pool and lots of sun loungers is a hidden oasis, and favoured by Art when retail therapy gets too much.
Hotel H10BlueMar
For a seven night break in a quaint Spanish beach location, Camp de Mar ticks all the boxes. It is a €35 taxi ride from Palma. A stay at the adults only H10 BlueMar hotel is our recommendation. It has an unrivalled proximity to the beach right across the boardwalk. The activity level can range from 0 to 8 depending on the degree of activity you wish to pursue. All water sports are available, golf can be accessed within walking distance and hill walking can both start or end in Camp de Mar. The hotel gym is functional and generally under utilised There is an excellent choice of restaurants close to the hotel, while the hotel restaurant itself is really welcoming at night and well worth a visit.
