2026 Pla de Mallorca Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

We had an amazing week away. This hotel is absolutely stunning and set in such a tranquil location. It’s situated slightly back from the resort front, which we appreciated as it made things quieter. It’s a pleasant walk to the beach, or you can take the bus or resort train that stops right outside. The hotel has recently undergone refurbishment and looks beautiful. The beds were incredibly comfortable—the best we’ve experienced—and the rooms were finished to a very high standard. We had a wonderful view overlooking the trees and slept exceptionally well. We stayed all-inclusive and found the food and drinks delightful. There were plenty of options, and everything was constantly replenished and freshened up. They also offered a snack bar. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, with a kids’ mini disco every evening perfect for our little one, followed by something for adults afterward. The atmosphere was very family-focused. The pool was great, and we never encountered any issues securing sunbeds. What truly impressed us most were the exceptional staff. They consistently went out of their way to engage with our little one, always going above and beyond despite their busy schedules. They truly deserve praise, as they made the experience unforgettable and are a true asset to the hotel. We can’t wait to return next year!

A calm and pleasant hotel with plenty of green spaces, conveniently close to the city but away from the chaos. Friendly staff and a diverse buffet. Every lunch and dinner, they provided lactose-free desserts for me, which was a big plus! ❤️ Delicious drinks! Comfortable beds and a nice balcony attached to the room. Special thanks to Modo and José for their outstanding service, drinks, and desserts – they were especially pleasant, earning an exceptional rating from us!

The hotel is beautifully situated, with well-maintained grounds and impeccable cleanliness. Our renovated room was spacious and came with a balcony featuring two sun loungers and a sunbed. The food was tasty and diverse, with highlights like moussaka, roast beef, meaty ribs, fresh salads, and kid-friendly ice cream topped with sprinkles and wafers. Self-service for drinks, including wine and beer during meals, kept queues manageable. The staff were hardworking and friendly. While I wasn't a fan of the all-inclusive cocktails, I’d recommend treating yourself to an Aperol Spritz or a Strawberry Daiquiri for just €4.50—much cheaper than bar prices. The entertainment team was enthusiastic, with fun pool activities like aqua aerobics and games. However, more detailed event schedules would have been helpful. In the evenings, we enjoyed the Tina Turner and circus acts, while the on-site arcade kept our 8-year-old entertained. Parking our hire car on the street outside was easy. The indoor pool and jacuzzi added to the relaxation. For outings, we recommend the Go-karting track in Can Picafort and the Ting Ting train, conveniently stopping outside the hotel. Overall, we had a wonderfully relaxing week in a serene setting.

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The kids loved the pool, entertainment, and sports facilities. The staff were exceptionally professional and friendly. Special thanks to Matias and Ruben for their outstanding service. We would definitely return!

We had a lovely weekend at Hotel Vell Marí in Can Picafort. The food was excellent, offering a nice variety of meals, drinks, and desserts. The room was cozy and ideal for relaxation. The staff were very attentive, particularly the cleaning and restaurant teams. Special thanks to David, Matias, and Antonio for their warm and friendly service. We look forward to returning soon!

We stayed 2 nights with family and friends at the Caprice Vell Marí Hotel & Resort. The hotel was newly renovated and freshly opened. The room was modern, functional, and had an extremely comfortable bed. The food was excellent, diverse, and high quality. The staff was very friendly and attentive. On the first day, we had issues with the shower water, the room's air conditioning, and the missing remote control for the TV. We informed the staff, and they fixed everything promptly. The gym is very small, and the spa could be improved. Water pressure in the faucets was low. It's a good hotel, though there are details that could be addressed. We recommend it—it’s a great place for both short and long stays!🤩 We’ll return!😃🩷

Perfect place to relax and disconnect from work. Nature, sports, a pool, and entertainment for the whole family. All the staff were polite and friendly, especially in the dining area and cocktail zone. Thank you very much, I will be back.

We decided to find a place for the May holiday to meet up with friends and let the kids have fun, and we stumbled upon this hotel. Honestly, it surprised us because the quality, hospitality, and service were excellent. It's one of those places where you pay gladly because you know your family enjoyed themselves to the fullest, and they made you feel that your presence mattered to them. The restaurant staff were outstanding, and the food left us speechless—a very diverse buffet to cater to all tastes. The recently renovated rooms felt large, spacious, and new, with bathrooms that were clean and sanitized—something my wife always checks first when we stay at hotels. They also offer various sports facilities, a massive pool, and a heated pool. All in all, we would absolutely return to this hotel for another great experience.

#winterescape Mallorca teaches you that mornings don’t need momentum. You wake with sunlight already filling the room, no urgency to rush outside. Breakfast stretches longer than usual, followed by a gentle walk or an early swim before the heat builds. The island rewards this softness—nothing feels missed by moving slowly. Instead, the day feels fuller, as if you’ve stepped into Mallorca’s natural rhythm rather than imposing your own.

#winterescape When Leaving Feels Premature There’s a moment on a Mallorca trip—usually near the end—when the island feels fully understood, just as it’s time to go. Your body has adjusted to the heat, your days naturally revolve around swimming, shade, and slow meals, and the roads no longer feel unfamiliar. Outside winter, everything happens outdoors, and life feels lighter because of it. You realize that Mallorca hasn’t been about seeing everything, but about settling into a rhythm that feels effortless. Leaving doesn’t feel dramatic—it just feels slightly wrong, as if you’re stepping away before the island has quite finished speaking to you.
