O veredicto
Vale a pena para sua lua de mel?
Hospes Maricel is the closest you can get to the open Mediterranean while still being 10 minutes from Palma city — a 1947 marble palace on the Cas Català cliffs converted in 2002 by Spanish hospitality group Hospes into a 29-room boutique with the most enviable sea position on Mallorca's south coast. The hotel hangs directly on the shoreline: two seawater pools cut into the cliff platform, a wooden sun-deck with steps straight into the sea, and breakfast served on a stone terrace where waves break ten metres below. Smaller and quieter than Cap Rocat, properly located for Palma dining and shopping, and with a serious Bodyna spa, this is the Mallorca honeymoon for couples who want city access combined with direct sea swimming and proper boutique-scale intimacy.

Em resumo
Recomendação de quarto
Qual quarto reservar
A Marisol Suite is the honeymoon room — a corner suite on the upper floor with two walls of windows facing the open Mediterranean, a free-standing tub positioned for the view, and a private terrace large enough for in-suite dining. The Mar y Sol Master Suite is the property's largest accommodation with two terraces and a separate dressing room. Avoid the Interior rooms in the original palace — they are charming but lack the sea view that is Hospes Maricel's defining asset.

Dia a dia
Seu roteiro de lua de mel de 7 noites
Arrival at Cas Català
Palma airport is just 15 minutes from Hospes Maricel. Settle into your Marisol Suite, swim in the lower seawater pool as the late-afternoon sun catches the cliffs, and book an early dinner at Senzone — the hotel's terrace restaurant where Mallorcan chef Joan Salvà sends out modernised local seafood with the lights of Palma glittering across the bay.
Palma de Mallorca Day
A 15-minute taxi (or 25 minutes on the coastal walk) into Palma. Cathedral La Seu opens at 10am — go early before the cruise crowds. Lunch at Marc Fosh (Michelin-starred Mediterranean), an afternoon walking the Born and shopping in the converted palaces of Calle Sant Feliu, sunset cocktails at Hotel Cort's rooftop. Return by hotel taxi for dinner on your suite terrace.
Bodyna Spa & Pool Day
A full pool-and-spa day at Hospes — morning Bodyna couples treatment in the candlelit hammam, lunch at the poolside Olivo grill, and a long afternoon between the two seawater pools and the sun-deck steps directly into the open sea. Sunset paddle from the hotel pontoon, then dinner at Senzone.
Tramuntana — Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller
A 90-minute drive into the Tramuntana mountains. Coffee at Valldemossa, lunch at El Olivo at Belmond La Residencia in Deià (book ahead), the wooden tram down to Port de Sóller, and back via the Sa Calobra coastal road — one of the great Mediterranean drives. Late return for cocktails on the Cas Català terrace.
Boat Day along the South Coast
Charter a small boat from Port d'Andratx (20 minutes west) for a full day along the dramatic south-west coast — the cliffs of Sa Dragonera, the hidden coves of Cala Egos, and lunch anchored off Camp de Mar. The water clarity along this coast is the best on the island. Return for an aperitivo as the sun drops behind the headland.
Es Trenc & the Salt Flats
A 45-minute drive south to Es Trenc — Mallorca's longest natural sandy beach, a protected dune system with no buildings for 6km. Pair with a visit to the Flor de Sal salt flats and lunch at Es Mirador for fresh fish. Return for a final spa treatment and a candlelit dinner on the Maricel terrace.
Sea-Swim Morning & Departure
One last dawn swim from the hotel pontoon — the water at Cas Català is at its calmest before 8am. Slow breakfast on the terrace and a 15-minute transfer to Palma airport. Hospes Maricel is among Mallorca's most convenient luxury hotels for flight connections.
Avaliação honesta
O que saber antes de reservar
There is no natural sandy beach at Hospes Maricel — sea access is via wooden steps from a cliff platform directly into deep open water. Couples wanting sand should plan day trips to Es Trenc or Cala Mondragó.
The hotel sits on a busy coastal road (Camí Calvià); while the property is set back and quiet, walking to nearby restaurants outside Palma requires a short taxi or hotel shuttle.
With only 29 rooms, sea-view suites book out 3–4 months ahead for July and August; shoulder months are more flexible.

FAQ
Perguntas frequentes
Good for honeymooners?
Excellent — the combination of a tiny 29-room boutique, direct sea access, Bodyna spa, and 15-minute Palma proximity is rare in the Mediterranean. Couples who want both city culture and sea swimming without changing hotels will find this ideal.
Best time to visit?
May–June and September–October are perfect — sea above 22°C, warm enough for terrace dining, Palma's spring/autumn scene is lively. The hotel stays open year-round, unusual for Mallorca; winter rates are excellent for a city-and-spa stay.
Book in advance?
Marisol Suites need 3–4 months for July/August; the Mar y Sol Master Suite books 6 months ahead in summer. Shoulder season often has Marisol availability within 4–6 weeks.
Adults-only?
No, but the boutique scale, design-led atmosphere, and absence of family facilities mean the property skews heavily adult and couples. Children are welcome but rare.
Best room type?
A Marisol Suite for corner sea views and a free-standing tub facing the Mediterranean. For honeymoon splurge, the Mar y Sol Master Suite has two terraces and dressing room. Both share the hotel's defining open-sea panorama.
How to get there?
Palma de Mallorca (PMI) is 15 minutes by car. Direct flights from across Europe (London 2h 15m, Paris 2h, Munich, Zurich, Berlin, Madrid 1h 15m, Barcelona 50m). The hotel arranges transfers for around €60 one-way.
