Location
Melia Palma Marina lines Palma’s iconic Paseo Marítimo, the palm-lined promenade that skirts the marina and bay. Step outside and you’re on the waterfront, with cafés, bars and restaurants all along the seafront and the gothic cathedral rising in the distance.
It’s an easy, scenic walk or short bus ride into the Old Town for boutique shopping, galleries and tapas bars, while Bellver Castle sits on the hill behind with panoramic views across the city and harbour. Beaches are a quick taxi or bus ride away, so you can mix culture, dining and a little sand-between-the-toes time in one short break.

Restaurants and Bars
Start your day with a generous buffet breakfast at Arado Restaurant, where show-cooking stations prepare hot dishes to order alongside international, Spanish and local favourites. At lunch and dinner, the stylish Moss Restaurant focuses on Spanish and Mallorcan flavours with an à la carte twist – ideal if you’re staying Half Board or just fancy a relaxed evening in.
The Arado Bar serves as an elegant lobby bar with snacks and cocktails, while the Pool Bar (seasonal) keeps drinks and light bites coming to your lounger between April and October (approx. 11:00–18:00). Guests in The Level rooms also have access to The Level Lounge, an exclusive space for drinks and snacks in a quieter, club-like setting.
Smart casual dress is generally requested in restaurants (no beachwear), and some venues or menu items may require reservations or carry a supplement depending on your chosen board basis (information and opening times subject to seasonal change). What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
The focal point outdoors is the freshwater pool set on a raised terrace facing the marina. Stretch out on sunbeds and parasols, order something chilled from the pool bar and soak up those sweeping views of the bay and cathedral. The main outdoor pool is usually open between mid-May and late September (weather and occupancy permitting), with pool towels available for a refundable deposit.
While there’s no dedicated beach directly in front of the hotel, you’re only a short taxi or bus ride from sandy stretches along the bay such as Playa de Palma or Cala Major, making it easy to tag a beach day onto your city break.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness is a real focus here. The hotel’s spa & wellness centre (seasonal opening, charges apply) includes:
– Indoor heated pool (adults only, within the spa)
– Sauna, steam room and Turkish bath
– Whirlpool and relaxation areas
– A menu of massages and beauty treatments
Fitness fans can keep to their routine at the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free weights area, stretching zone and fixed strength equipment (minimum age 16 years).
Around the property you’ll also find a stylish lobby with seating, concierge-style reception, luggage storage and quiet corners to work or read – all backed by free Wi-Fi. Sustainability credentials are strong, too: the hotel holds a Certified Sustainable Hotel label for meeting a GSTC-recognised standard at the time of review.
