Map & location


Palma City, Balearics, Spain

Melia Palma Bay pairs modern design with a privileged waterfront setting on Palma’s bay. Step outside and in a few minutes you’re on the small city beach or strolling the palm-fringed promenade towards the marina and Old Town.

Palma itself is one of the Mediterranean’s most charming capitals: Gothic spires, cobbled lanes, chic boutiques and a vibrant food scene from tapas bars to tasting menus. From the hotel, La Seu Cathedral, Placa Major and La Lonja’s atmospheric streets are all within a short bus, taxi or even a longer walk or cycle along the seafront.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 15–20 minutes by taxi or private transfer; around 30 minutes by shuttle/coach, depending on stops and traffic.

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s showpiece is the rooftop freshwater pool, edged by hammocks and parasols and framed by wide-open views across the Bay of Palma and the city skyline – perfect for sunset swims and chic daytime lounging. Pool towels are provided, and the rooftop area generally operates between April and October, weather permitting.

When you’re ready for the sea, the nearest beach is about 350m away – a compact city stretch ideal for a quick swim between sightseeing or an hour on the sand before dinner in town.

Spa, sports & wellness


Stay active in the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, free weights and an aerobics studio for your own workouts. After a day exploring Palma, unwind in the spa (local charges apply), where you’ll find a sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments.

The hotel also offers a 24-hour reception with concierge-style services, English newspapers and luggage storage – handy if you have a late flight and want to squeeze in more time in the city.
