Convent De La Missio

Palma City | Balearics

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Set within the thick stone walls of a 17th‑century monastery, Convent De La Missio is one of Palma’s most coveted boutique addresses. Steps from Plaça Major yet wonderfully serene, this 5‑star hideaway blends cloistered calm, contemporary design and destination dining courtesy of Michelin‑starred Marc Fosh. A rooftop terrace with pool, atmospheric spa and just 27 beautifully styled rooms make it a refined base for a culture‑rich city break in Mallorca’s capital.

White‑washed vaulted corridors, curated artworks and candlelit nooks set the tone on arrival at Convent De La Missio. Original stone arches frame minimalist interiors, while the rooftop terrace and pool reveal a different side of Palma – terracotta rooftops and church spires instead of the city bustle below. Inside, the spa’s indoor pool and sauna offer a tranquil counterpoint to the urban energy outside, and Marc Fosh’s Michelin‑starred tasting menus make evenings here feel truly special.

For couples seeking Balearics’ charm with a distinctly urban edge, Convent De La Missio delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 15–20 minutes by road from Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), so you can be checking in not long after landing. See more Balearics holidays.

For a city‑centre address, Convent De La Missio makes excellent use of its outdoor space. The rooftop terrace features a compact outdoor pool and sun loungers, offering a quiet spot to cool off between sightseeing sessions while you gaze over Palma’s rooftops and church towers.

Downstairs, the spa houses a serene indoor pool, giving you a year‑round place to unwind. Facilities and opening hours may vary between the indoor and outdoor pools, and some services are seasonal.

While there’s no on‑site beach, Palma’s urban sands – such as Playa de Palma and Can Pere Antoni – can be reached easily by bus or taxi if you fancy pairing your city break with a few hours of sunbathing by the sea.
