Heritage classic Espléndido’s strength is that it sits on the broad sweep of Port de Sóller like a stylish base camp, not a sealed-off resort, which makes it ideal for older children who want freedom and a bit of life. The look is contemporary ocean liner chic, with clean lines, fresh finishes, and a sense of being edited rather than over-designed. For family set-ups, there are interconnecting options plus plenty of larger rooms with sofa beds, and the hotel even has true family suites: the Garden Family Suite is 721 square feet, while the Espléndido Suite is 770 square feet and set up like a duplex with two bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, two bathrooms, plus a terrace with a hot tub—ideal for older kids who need their own zone. Parents get a proper spa, including a Turkish bath and sauna, plus a gym and space for yoga or Pilates. Step out the front, and it’s all powdery sands (popular beach restaurant Patiki is a moment’s walk away), resort-style shops, and pathways for easy evening strolls that feel deeply Spanish. Head out the back to soak up lush gardens and transformative terrace views of the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
