Nakar Hotel

Nakar Hotel is a modern design hotel in the heart of Palma de Mallorca. With both the architect and the interior designer coming from Mallorca, Nakar Hotel is Mallorcan through-and-through. Located on Palma de Mallorca’s trendy Avenida de Jaume III shopping street, Nakar hotel is well located for exploring the labyrinth of the Old Town. And with the city’s first rooftop hotel pool, a thermal spa and a destination restaurant, there are many reasons to choose Nakar Hotel as your base in Palma.

A member of Design Hotels, the hotel has been in the same Mallorcan family for three generations and after a refurbishment by leading Mallorcan architect and designer, the airy, bright and contemporary space is ready to fulfil the needs of any modern traveller. Locally sourced oak and stone, white walls, glass and neutral shades contrast with bold black ironwork giving a pleasant uncluttered feeling.

Minimalist rooms are complete with oak flooring, contemporary decor and stylish fixtures and fittings. Our suite room came complete with a king size bed featuring a pillow menu, rain shower, a nespresso machine, automated lighting and a long balcony overlooking Avenida de Jaume III. Everything in the mini-bar is complimentary one time, which when the mini-bar includes bottles of champagne, is quite the treat.

Nakar Spa is a subterranean sanctuary with a heated relaxation pool, a hammam and sauna. The two whisper quiet treatment rooms are the perfect space for your massage body wrap or facial, and they have special treatments available for men.

CUIT Bar & Restaurant on the eighth floor looks out over the Mallorcan roofs giving an impressive view to the Cathedral and the sea beyond. This is the place for buffet breakfasts and a la carte lunch and dinners. 

Most impressive is the rooftop sundeck and infinity pool that provides a relaxing sunshine retreat in the centre of the city. From the waters edge you can gaze at Palma’s red rooftops, the Cathedral, Bellver Castle and the bay beyond. In the evening, this space is transformed into a bar where you can enjoy the captivating city views as the sun sets to the sounds of a local DJ-spun soundtrack.
