Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden, Palma de Mallorca
Palma’s Hidden Oasis of Luxury
A Secret Sanctuary in the Heart of Palma
Tucked discreetly within the cobbled streets of La Lonja, one of Palma de Mallorca’s most historic quarters, Can Bordoy feels like a secret whispered among travelers in the know. More than just a hotel, it’s a soulful retreat where centuries-old architecture, lush gardens, and avant-garde comfort come together in perfect harmony. This is Palma as you’ve never seen it—quiet, refined, and wildly romantic.
A Garden That Captivates
Step past the antique doors and you’ll find yourself in a verdant world far removed from the city’s sun-soaked energy. The garden—a rarity in Palma—is a poetic surprise: dense with mature trees, fragrant blooms, and hidden corners perfect for lounging. Whether you’re soaking in the outdoor pool or enjoying a garden cocktail beneath the canopy, the atmosphere invites you to slow down and breathe deeply.
Suites That Whisper Stories
With just 24 suites, Can Bordoy favors intimacy over scale. Each room is distinct, blending Gothic grandeur with sleek, modern luxuries. Think high ceilings, vintage chandeliers, and sumptuous velvet set alongside hidden smart TVs and electronically adjustable beds. Many suites offer private terraces, ideal for an alfresco breakfast or a late-night moment under the stars. It’s a stay that feels curated and personal—like being handed the keys to someone’s storied manor.
Botanical Cuisine with a Mediterranean Soul
The hotel’s restaurant, Botànic, is a love letter to the Mediterranean, crafted by Chef Andrés Benítez. The focus is on healthful indulgence—creative, plant-forward dishes made from organic and locally sourced ingredients. Guests can dine surrounded by greenery in the whimsical “Jumanji room,” on the garden terrace, or nestled inside the cozy, book-lined library. Each meal feels like an extension of the property’s lush, layered spirit.
Wellness Immersed in Nature
Descend into the spa—a softly lit sanctuary hidden beneath ancient stone—and you’ll find a thermal circuit that includes a steam bath, plunge pool, and the one-of-a-kind horizontal shower. Above ground, the garden pergola offers open-air treatments among chirping birds and rustling leaves. It’s wellness not as ritual, but as retreat—rooted in nature, and rhythm.
Rooftop Views and Glass-Bottom Bliss
Upstairs, the rooftop terrace provides a final touch of magic. With sweeping views of Palma’s old town and the sea beyond, it’s a place for sun-drenched lounging or moonlit moments. The glass-bottom plunge pool—a showstopper suspended above the courtyard—is pure architectural delight, perfect for the camera roll or quiet contemplation.
Intimate Service, Intentional Sustainability
At Can Bordoy, luxury feels human. The service is personal, intuitive, and quietly exceptional—from curated experiences booked via in-room tablets to the warm staff who remember your name and your favorite drink. The hotel is also committed to sustainability, with a no-plastic policy, renewable energy use, and a focus on eco-conscious operations that never compromise the guest experience.
