EL LLORENC PARC DEL MAR

EL LLORENC - A BEAUTIFUL BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN OLD TOWN

At Ocho Suites, we love to share our top boutique hotel picks on the island. Tucked away in Palma’s old town, El Llorenç Parc de la Mar is one of those rare places that instantly feels special. With just 33 rooms, it’s intimate and stylish, blending bold contemporary design with local character. The interiors are a stunning mix of Moorish influences, rich textures, and warm Mediterranean tones, all thoughtfully brought together by Swedish designer Magnus Ehrland. There’s a calm, grown-up elegance throughout — flooded with natural light, layered with beautiful materials, and dotted with historical details like the preserved 11th-century Arabic oven that roots the hotel deeply in Palma’s past.

But the real magic happens on the rooftop. It’s our go-to spot for sun-soaked afternoons and golden-hour evenings. The infinity pool — the longest in Palma — stretches toward the sea, with breathtaking views of the cathedral and the bay. Whether you’re relaxing with a cocktail or settling in for lunch, the atmosphere is effortlessly chic yet unpretentious.

Up here you’ll also find Urbà, El Llorenç’s rooftop restaurant — a culinary gem that perfectly complements the setting. The menu celebrates Mediterranean flavors with creative flair, and every dish feels crafted with care. Two absolute standouts are the carbonara croquettes, indulgently creamy and full of umami, and the crispy king prawn brioche, a playful bite that’s as elegant as it is addictive.

Adding to the experience is the wonderful restaurant manager from Turkey, whose warmth and passion make every visit memorable. A devoted football fan, he’s always happy to chat about the latest matches and even keeps tabs on our Swedish players — a charming personal touch that makes guests feel instantly at home.

El Llorenç is more than just a hotel; it’s a refined retreat where design, gastronomy, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. Whether you’re staying overnight or simply stopping by for a sunset meal at Urbà, it’s a hidden gem that delivers every time.
