Guests booking Star Prestige rooms unlock a more exclusive vibe at the rooftop adults-only pool, where Balinese beds, elevated sea views and a calm atmosphere create a grown-up chill-out zone.

Step beyond the pool gate and you’re moments from Playa de Palma’s long, golden beach. The softly shelving sand and usually gentle waves make it a great choice for families and casual swimmers, with beach clubs and water sports available along the bay (independently operated, seasonal and extra cost).

• Sunset Champagne Bar – elegant cocktail bar by the pool, usually open 18:00–00:00 between April and October (subject to occupancy), ideal for watching the sky turn pink with a glass of bubbles in hand.
• Star Prestige Lounge – an exclusive adults-only space reserved for Star Prestige guests, with refreshments and a relaxed, club-style atmosphere.
