Beautiful views for every meal. Very relaxing, friendly staff. Definitely want to go again!

Attentive staff

From the moment we stepped through the door, the staff at Gran Hotel Margalida were exceptional. After a long journey from Boston, they welcomed us with breakfast at the best table on the terrace, and the sound of the waves instantly set the tone for our seven-day escape. Our Junior Suite had spectacular views from every window, including a large one in the shower, perfect for a long, hot shower after a swim in the Balearic Sea. The sea is a short, steep walk down past olive groves and vineyards. The climb back is mesmerizing, with a couple of seasonal bars along the way and the scent of wildflowers on the cliffs. Back at the hotel, be sure to enjoy the wonderful spa. The steam room, sauna and cold plunge were truly restorative, all overlooking the vineyards and the sea far below. Fitness fans will love the state-of-the-art gym, complete with a body composition scanner. We also enjoyed poolside service at the small infinity pool, with another breathtaking view. What truly sets this hotel apart is its people. Every member of the staff looked for ways to make our stay memorable, quickly learning our breakfast preferences and anticipating whatever else we needed. As the brochure says, this is a place that feels like it knows you. The village of Banyalbufar is charming, with goats, roosters, dogs and cats sharing the lanes with the doves that fill the sky, and days that unfold to the sound of church bells and the sea. We left relaxed, restored and already planning our return.
