Dignified and beautiful Mediterranean beauty, Palma de Mallorca is the only real city in the Balearics, and thus home to the many of the best boutiques, the best restaurants and of course the best hotels. So our Guru’s list of the 10 best luxury hotels in Palma de Mallorca includes many of the best hotels on the island and in the island group.
