Planning Summer 2027? Always check the current price and availability before visiting.
Looking for a swimming pool in Palma without booking a hotel room?
Perhaps you live in Mallorca.
Perhaps you are staying in an Airbnb.
Maybe your apartment does not have a pool.
Perhaps your cruise ship is in Palma for the day.
Or maybe you simply want to spend a few hours doing absolutely nothing.
There is another way to experience Hotel Amic Horizonte.
The Day Pass.
Come for the pool.
Stay for lunch.
Order a cocktail.
Look over Palma Bay.
And go home without ever having booked a bedroom.
The Short Answer
Hotel Amic Horizonte currently offers a seasonal Day Pass that gives non-resident visitors access to the outdoor swimming pool.
The experience currently published through HotelTreats starts from:
€50 per adult
And the most interesting part is:
the cost of the Day Pass is returned as 100% credit to spend on food and drinks.
HotelTreats currently describes the experience as access to the outdoor pool plus the full cost of the Day Pass available to spend on gastronomy.
So this is not simply:
€50 to enter a swimming pool.
It is closer to:
€50 to spend your day eating, drinking, swimming and enjoying Palma from above.
What Exactly Is a Hotel Day Pass?
A Day Pass allows somebody who is not staying overnight at the hotel to enjoy selected hotel facilities during the day.
That distinction matters.
You do not need:
a room.
check-in for the night.
a suitcase.
or a hotel reservation.
You can simply come for the experience.
At Hotel Amic Horizonte, the central element is:
the outdoor pool overlooking Palma.
Why Hotel Amic Horizonte?
There are many places to swim in Mallorca.
Beaches.
Beach clubs.
Municipal pools.
Hotels.
Spas.
But the Horizonte experience has a very specific geography.
The hotel sits in La Bonanova, above:
Palma Port.
Porto Pi.
Club de Mar.
the Paseo Marítimo.
and Palma Bay.
From the pool and terraces, the city becomes part of the experience.
Cruise ships arrive.
Ferries leave.
Yachts move through the harbour.
The light changes.
And Palma sits below you.
The official hotel information highlights its outdoor pool, solarium and panoramic terraces as central parts of the property.
Who Is the Day Pass For?
Almost anyone who wants a pool day in Palma without needing accommodation.
But there are several groups for whom it makes particular sense.
1. Palma Residents
Sometimes the easiest escape is ten minutes from home.
You do not need:
an airport.
a ferry.
a weekend away.
You may simply want:
a swimming pool.
a sunbed.
lunch.
a cocktail.
friends.
and a different view of your own city.
If you live in:
Palma.
La Bonanova.
Génova.
Porto Pi.
Cala Major.
El Terreno.
Santa Catalina.
or anywhere nearby,
Horizonte can become a small local summer escape.
Mallorca for Mallorcans too.
2. Airbnb and Apartment Guests
This may be one of the most obvious uses.
You rented:
an apartment.
an Airbnb.
a holiday flat.
You love the location.
But:
there is no pool.
Instead of changing accommodation, you can add a hotel-pool day to the trip.
Morning in Palma.
Pool at Horizonte.
Lunch.
Cocktail.
Sunset.
Then back to your apartment.
One day.
Different experience.
3. Cruise Passengers
Palma is one of the Mediterranean's major cruise ports.
And Hotel Amic Horizonte sits directly above the western harbour area.
If your ship is in Palma for several hours and you do not want to spend the entire call:
shopping.
sightseeing.
or travelling across Mallorca,
a pool day can be another option.
Ship.
Short transfer.
Hotel.
Pool.
Lunch.
Drink.
Harbour view.
Back to the ship.
But always check:
your ship's departure time.
your exact cruise terminal.
traffic.
and the time required to return through port security.
Never organise a Day Pass so tightly that relaxation turns into a sprint back to the ship.
4. Friends Visiting Somebody Staying at the Hotel
Imagine:
you are staying at Horizonte.
Your friends live in Palma.
Or they are staying elsewhere.
You want to spend the day together.
The Day Pass can provide a way to share part of the hotel experience without everybody needing a bedroom reservation.
Pool.
Lunch.
Drinks.
Conversation.
Much simpler.
5. Couples Who Want a Different Date
Not every date needs to be:
restaurant.
cinema.
dinner.
Repeat.
Try:
POOL + LUNCH + COCKTAIL + PALMA BAY.
No flight required.
No overnight stay required.
Sometimes a Tuesday afternoon can feel surprisingly like a holiday.
6. Families
Hotel Amic Horizonte is not an adults-only property.
Families can use the hotel according to the conditions of the Day Pass available on their date.
The current published 2026 offer has included a reduced children's price, but family pricing and age conditions should always be checked when booking because seasonal conditions can change.
The priority is simple:
children enjoy the pool.
adults enjoy the fact that they do not need to organise very much.
7. Travellers With a Late Flight
Hotel check-out and flight times rarely cooperate.
You leave your accommodation at:
11:00.
Flight:
21:00.
What now?
Dragging luggage around Palma for eight hours is not particularly glamorous.
If availability and conditions allow, a pool day can turn that awkward gap into:
lunch.
swimming.
shower/change where available according to the booked product.
relaxation.
then airport.
Hotel Amic Horizonte also currently provides luggage storage to hotel guests, and its wider services include tourist information and other practical facilities.
For non-resident Day Pass users, confirm luggage arrangements directly beforehand.
8. People Who Simply Want a Holiday Day
Perhaps you are not travelling.
No cruise.
No Airbnb.
No special occasion.
You simply have:
a free day.
That is enough.
How Does the €50 Credit Work?
The current Day Pass listed through HotelTreats starts from €50 and states that the full cost can be spent on food and beverages.
That means the economic logic is different from a simple pool-entry ticket.
Instead of paying:
€50 pool
€25 lunch
€10 drinks,
the published concept is:
€50 Day Pass
→ €50 available for gastronomy.
Your actual consumption depends on the current menu and prices.
What Can You Eat and Drink?
The hotel currently operates a restaurant and bar, together with seasonal pool service.
Depending on the menu available during your visit, your credit can potentially be used across:
coffee.
soft drinks.
beer.
cocktails.
snacks.
salads.
burgers.
fajitas.
pizza.
paella.
meat.
fish.
desserts.
The specific menu, prices and outlets operating on the day can change.
Always use the current menu rather than an old blog article as the final reference.
A Very Simple Day
Here is how we would use it.
11:00
Arrive.
Pool.
Find your place.
Look at the Bay.
12:00
Coffee or cold drink.
13:30
Lunch.
Maybe:
salad.
burger.
fajitas.
something to share.
or paella if you are making a proper day of it.
15:00
Pool again.
17:00
Cocktail.
18:00
Do absolutely nothing.
That last activity is highly underrated.
Pool With a Port View
One of the things that makes Horizonte different is that the view is not static.
You are not simply looking at blue sea.
The Port of Palma moves.
Cruise ship.
Ferry.
Yacht.
Sailing boat.
Working vessel.
Aircraft in the distance.
Clouds.
City.
There is almost always something happening.
You can spend twenty minutes watching Palma without opening your phone.
We recommend trying it.
Day Pass vs Beach Club
This is an interesting comparison.
A beach club may offer:
beach.
music.
premium environment.
lounge beds.
sea access.
A Hotel Amic Horizonte Day Pass offers something different:
city.
pool.
panoramic harbour views.
food and drink credit.
Palma location.
relaxed hotel atmosphere.
The question is not:
which is better?
It is:
what kind of day do you want?
Day Pass vs Going to the Beach
The beach is free.
And Mallorca's beaches are extraordinary.
So why pay for a Day Pass?
Because sometimes you want:
a swimming pool.
sunbed availability subject to the booked conditions.
bathrooms nearby.
food.
drinks.
shade.
service.
a controlled environment.
and no sand in absolutely everything you own.
Beach one day.
Pool another.
Mallorca does not require choosing sides.
Day Pass Before or After Shopping at Porto Pi
Hotel Amic Horizonte is close to Porto Pi.
That creates another easy combination:
SHOPPING + POOL.
Morning:
Porto Pi.
Lunch:
Horizonte.
Afternoon:
pool.
Or reverse it.
This is especially practical for visitors who need to buy:
clothes.
sunscreen.
travel items.
something forgotten.
or simply enjoy shopping.
Day Pass + Palma
You can also turn the Day Pass into part of a city break.
For example:
Morning
Palma Old Town.
Cathedral.
La Lonja.
Passeig del Born.
Afternoon
Hotel Amic Horizonte.
Pool.
Lunch.
Cocktail.
Evening
Paseo Marítimo or dinner in Palma.
City + pool.
Without leaving Palma.
Day Pass + Bellver
Another combination we particularly like:
morning walk through Bellver.
Then:
earned pool.
Bellver Castle and its forest are part of the western Palma landscape surrounding the hotel.
Walk.
Run.
Explore.
Then return for:
pool.
food.
relaxation.
Active first.
Lazy afterwards.
Day Pass + Massage
Hotel Amic Horizonte currently offers massage by appointment.
That opens up a more wellness-oriented combination:
POOL + LUNCH + MASSAGE.
Or:
MASSAGE + POOL + SUNSET.
Massage availability and Day Pass conditions should be coordinated directly because they are separate services.
But conceptually:
it makes a very good Palma day.
What About the Gym?
The original version of this article described various hotel facilities as part of a generic Day Pass.
We would now be more precise.
Hotel Amic Horizonte has wider hotel facilities, but the exact Day Pass inclusions are defined by the product purchased.
The current HotelTreats listing explicitly highlights:
outdoor swimming pool access
food and drink credit
Therefore:
do not assume every hotel service is included.
Check the exact conditions during purchase.
That is a much better answer than relying on information published years ago.
What Time Is the Day Pass?
The detailed 2026 Day Pass information published by Hotel Amic Horizonte has indicated:
pool access approximately 11:00–19:00
with food-and-beverage credit usable during the published restaurant/bar hours.
However:
always check the booking page.
Seasonal hours can change.
Weather matters.
Operations change.
Special events happen.
The conditions shown during purchase are the conditions that matter.
Is a Sunbed Guaranteed?
Do not assume so.
Previous published conditions have specified sunbeds subject to availability.
This is especially relevant on:
weekends.
hot days.
peak summer dates.
If having a specific type of seating is essential, verify before booking.
What Should You Bring?
Very little.
But we recommend:
swimwear
sunscreen
sunglasses
hat
book
phone charger
dry clothes
any personal medication
your booking confirmation
And:
time.
The whole point is not to rush.
Towels?
Check current Day Pass conditions before arriving.
Hotel towel policies can differ between hotel guests and external Day Pass users.
Do not assume inclusion unless the booking conditions say so.
If in doubt:
ask.
Can I Buy Sunscreen or Essentials?
Basic needs can often be solved nearby thanks to Porto Pi and the wider commercial area.
If you have forgotten something important:
Porto Pi is one of the most practical neighbours Hotel Amic Horizonte has.
Is the Pool Open All Year?
No.
Hotel Amic Horizonte's outdoor swimming pool is seasonal.
Therefore the Day Pass is also fundamentally a seasonal experience.
Do not arrive in February expecting a summer pool day because you found an old article online.
That is exactly why we update these pages.
For winter visitors, Palma offers:
indoor municipal pools.
spa alternatives.
gym.
massage.
walking.
Bellver.
and many other experiences.
Summer and winter should not be marketed as if they were identical.
What If the Weather Is Bad?
This is an outdoor-pool experience.
Weather matters.
Before booking or travelling:
check Palma's forecast.
And review the cancellation or rescheduling conditions of the Day Pass provider.
A cloud is not necessarily a problem.
A thunderstorm may be.
Use common sense.
Can You Give a Day Pass as a Gift?
HotelTreats lists its hotel experiences as purchasable experiences and gift options, subject to the specific product conditions.
This makes the Day Pass an interesting Mallorca gift:
birthday.
anniversary.
thank-you.
staff reward.
couple.
friend.
Or:
“I did not know what to buy you, so I bought you a day doing very little.”
Excellent gift category.
Can We Come as a Group?
A casual group of friends can book subject to normal availability and Day Pass conditions.
But if you are organising:
birthday.
celebration.
corporate gathering.
large group.
private event.
special lunch.
or party,
do not simply buy multiple individual Day Passes and assume the hotel can accommodate the format.
Contact our Groups & Events team:
grupos@amic-hotels.com
That allows us to understand:
number of people.
food.
space.
music.
timing.
seating.
and any special requirements.
Can I Organise a Birthday Pool Day?
Potentially, yes — but speak with the hotel first.
There is a big difference between:
four friends buying Day Passes
and:
twenty-five people arriving with a birthday cake and expecting a private party.
Hotels need to protect:
guest comfort.
pool capacity.
safety.
service.
and atmosphere.
Planning matters.
Respect the Hotel
This is important.
A Day Pass opens part of a working hotel to outside visitors.
But hotel guests are still staying here.
That means:
respectful music levels.
appropriate behaviour.
pool rules.
consideration for other users.
staff instructions.
and the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel.
The purpose is:
enjoy the hotel.
Not:
take over the hotel.
The Local Escape
There is a larger idea behind Day Passes that we particularly like.
Hotels do not need to belong only to tourists.
A hotel can also be:
a restaurant.
a meeting place.
a pool.
a terrace.
a massage.
a coffee.
a sunset.
a local experience.
That connects directly with how Hotel Amic Horizonte increasingly wants to relate to Palma.
We are here for visitors.
But:
we are also in Palma for Palma.
Cruise Passengers: A Different Palma Excursion
Cruise passengers are often presented with the same choices:
Old Town.
Cathedral.
beach excursion.
bus tour.
shopping.
All good options.
But perhaps you have already visited Palma.
Or perhaps your cruise itinerary is already packed with excursions.
Then your Mallorca port call could be:
SWIM.
EAT.
LOOK AT YOUR SHIP FROM ABOVE.
GO BACK.
Sometimes the best excursion is the one that does less.
Airbnb Guests: Add the Missing Facility
This may become one of our strongest Day Pass messages.
You chose an apartment because you wanted:
space.
kitchen.
location.
independence.
Great.
But you miss:
a pool.
You do not need to abandon the advantages of your apartment.
Just add the missing experience for one day.
That is exactly what hotel Day Passes are good at.
Residents: Rediscover Your Own City
Mallorca residents spend years telling visitors how beautiful the island is.
Then sometimes forget to enjoy it themselves.
Try this:
take a weekday off.
Come to the hotel.
Leave the phone down.
Swim.
Lunch.
Look at Palma Bay.
You may discover that the place other people fly three hours to visit was there all along.
September and October
There is another part of the season we particularly like.
Late summer.
September.
Early October when weather allows.
The air can feel less intense.
Palma is still alive.
The sea is still warm.
The summer crowds begin changing.
Hotel Amic Horizonte has previously promoted this period specifically as an excellent time for pool days and cocktails.
Do not automatically assume:
Day Pass = July and August.
Late summer can be excellent.
Summer 2027
If you are reading this while planning Summer 2027:
do not rely blindly on the €50 price simply because you found it in this article.
At the time of this update, HotelTreats currently lists the Amic Horizonte experience from €50, with the full cost redeemable against food and drinks.
But:
prices.
days.
hours.
children's rates.
availability.
operating conditions.
can change.
Always check the live booking conditions.
This article explains the experience.
The booking page confirms the contract.
