The Top Budget Hotels to Book in Mallorca
Postcard-worthy beaches, cocktails by the pool and knockout views don’t have to mean blowing the budget when visiting the Balearic Islands. These cheap hotels in Mallorca have all the indulgent extras of more expensive properties on the island – without the eye-watering bill at the end. Choose from action-packed family resorts, adults-only all-inclusives and historic hotels steps from bars and restaurants in town, all bookable with Culture Trip.
1. Hotel Son Trobat, for rustic chic accommodation in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar
Spa Hotel
Budget hotels in Mallorca don’t get much more chic or soothing than Son Trobat, a country estate of traditional wood-and-stone bungalows, surrounded by olive groves. When you’re not reclining on your private terrace or around the palm-shaded pool, hit tennis balls on the clay court or walk a section of the Via Verde, a scenic trail that passes by the hotel. Classic Mallorcan cuisine is served on a terrace next to the groves or in a dining room with high beamed ceilings and rustic stone walls.
2. Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village, for avid cyclists in Alcúdia
Hotel
Iberostar’s Playa de Muro resort is a great choice if you’re cycling around Mallorca, offering a sports’ massage centre, guided cycling tours and a cavernous garage for two-wheeled steeds. For swimming and tanning, choose from several seafront pools or Muro Beach, consistently noted as one of the best in Spain (you’ll have direct access). Start the day with a buffet breakfast, enjoy a poolside lunch of grilled fish and have a juicy burger for dinner at the American-style diner.
3. Sóller Plaza Hotel, for a peaceful retreat in Sóller
Hotel
This four-star hotel may be right in the centre of Sóller – but is a peaceful retreat from the elegant town and its busy Saturday market right outside. Inside, there are just 21 rooms over two floors, all with chic modern styling, smart TVs and spa-quality bathrooms. The all-day La Casona restaurant is a real highlight, right on the town’s main square, so you can dine under orange trees while watching the vintage tram pass by.
4. Eix Lagotel, for a family-friendly holiday in Alcúdia
Resort, Hotel
You’re never far from the water at this hotel in the S’Albufera Natural Park in Playa de Muro. It’s set beside an expansive lake, but also has two huge pools for families to splash around in together. On dry land, there’s a football pitch, tennis courts, archery, table tennis and minigolf, plus a disco for children every evening. Fancy even more water-based action? Hop on the free shuttle bus to the beach in Playa de Muro just five minutes away.
