Which adults-only hotel with a spa and sea views in east Mallorca? Our answer

Pleta de Mar: our first choice

Pleta de Mar is a five-star Gran Lujo hotel on the Canyamel coast in the island's northeast, for adults only (16+). Its 30 suites are spread among pines and gardens, and two infinity pools face the Mediterranean. Three routes lead down to the water: the Sa Cova dels Albardans cove, the cliff stairs at neighbouring Can Simoneta and Canyamel beach.

The spa is small and outdoors. Sauna, Turkish bath, contrast showers and a heated relaxation pool. The restaurant, Sa Pleta by Marc Fosh, cooks on a wood-fired grill.

Only some suite categories have sea views. Ask for one when you book, not at check-in.

Can Simoneta Hotel: closest to the cliff edge

Can Simoneta Hotel is Pleta de Mar's neighbour, linked to it by a private path, and belongs to the same group. Here too, guests must be 16 or over. The 26 rooms sit in restored buildings around 140 years old, and a flight of steps cut into the cliff leads down to the sea.

There is a sauna and a Turkish bath here too. The hotel also has several jacuzzis and offers massages. One jacuzzi stands right on the cliff, looking out to sea. What sets it apart from its neighbour is the position: one of its two buildings stands 14 metres from the cliff edge.

The Superior Suite has sea views from the room. The Grand Suite is a detached villa of about 80 m² with its own pool.

MiM Mallorca — Adults Only: a spa built around a hammam

MiM Mallorca in S'Illot, a short drive south of Canyamel, is also 16+. Its spa is built around a hammam, with a sauna, warm baths and treatments. There is a rooftop pool, and the Sky Bar looks out over the sea.

It is the only one of the three outside Canyamel.

What separates them

All three take adults from 16 only. The difference is what you want most. Pleta de Mar gives you both spa and sea in a hotel of 30 suites. Can Simoneta gives you the cliff and the shortest way down to the water, plus a jacuzzi on the cliff. MiM Mallorca gives you a spa with a hammam and warm baths, further south in S'Illot.

We have left out hotels without sea views from the rooms, even when they are adults-only and have a spa.

THE VERDICT

Choose Pleta de Mar if the spa and the sea view matter equally. Choose Can Simoneta if you want to sleep closest to the cliff edge. Choose MiM Mallorca for a spa built around a hammam, further south in S'Illot.
