Bordoy Continental Palma

Bordoy Continental Palma, a 4-star boutique hotel with real character, is located at Carrer de la Industria. It’s just a short stroll from the upmarket Avenida Jaime III and the buzzing Santa Catalina district. It runs on a Bed & Breakfast basis, making it a smart pick for couples, solo travellers, and small groups who want a stylish central base to explore the city at their own pace. 🌴

What sets it apart? To start with, the underground private garage sits directly beneath the hotel (something actually rare in central Palma ☝️). Add to that a gorgeous piano bar crowned with a stained-glass ceiling, marble floors, and classic wood trimmings. It's a calm, design-led retreat that filters out noisy resort crowds without sacrificing comfort. ✨

Location & getting there

🏖️ The closest swimmable beach, Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni, is around 2.5 kms from the hotel, roughly a 7-minute drive or a 30-minute walk along the shoreline. The hotel doesn't sit directly on the sand, but the scenic Paseo Maritimo seafront promenade is a quick 6-minute stroll away, if you fancy a morning walk by the sea.

✈️ Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is approximately 12.3 kms from the hotel via the Ma-19 highway. Expect a taxi or private transfer to take around 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. The hotel doesn't run its own airport shuttle, but taxis are readily available at the terminal.

• 🎹 Evening atmosphere-

  Soft background music and occasional live piano performances make this a genuinely lovely spot for an evening drink.

• ⚠️ Please note-

  The hotel operates on a Bed & Breakfast basis only. The kitchen closes after breakfast, so lunch and dinner will need to be taken at one of the many great restaurants in the surrounding Santa Catalina neighbourhood. Breakfast can be pre-included in your room rate or purchased on arrival for approximately £15 per adult and £7.50 per child

Kids club & family facilities

Bordoy Continental Palma is a boutique city hotel, so there's no kids’ club, splash park, or playground on-site. Children are genuinely welcome, and the hotel does offer baby cots on request, triple rooms to keep families together, and breakfast for children at a special price. 👨‍👩‍👧 That said, it works best for older children or teenagers on a city break rather than younger ones expecting resort-style entertainment.

Spa, wellness & fitness

The lower levels house a compact but well-equipped wellness area. There's a traditional Finnish sauna, a steam room, and a relaxation hot tub — exactly what you need after a day pounding Palma's streets. 🧖‍♀️ A small fitness studio covers the basics with treadmills, a stationary bike, and free weights. Access is complimentary for all guests. Massages and beauty treatments are available through reception at an additional cost.

Sports & activities

The hotel does offer a dedicated bicycle hire station 🚲, ideal for cycling down to the seafront or exploring Palma's quieter side streets at your own pace. There's also a car hire desk through reception for anyone planning longer day trips across the island. In the evenings, the Piano Lounge provides a relaxed, atmospheric wind-down.
