Where Should I Stay in Palma? The Answer Depends on Why You Are Coming

Where Should I Stay in Palma? The Answer Depends on Why You Are Coming There is no single “best hotel in Palma de Mallorca”. There is, however, a best location for the reason you are travelling . Are you arriving before a cruise? Coming to Palma for a business meeting? Combining work with a few days in Mallorca? Looking for a hotel close to Porto Pi? Planning a city break but prefer to stay outside the busiest streets of the historic centre? Travelling for a sporting event? Or simply looking for somewhere with views over the Bay of Palma where you can slow down after a busy day? These are increasingly the questions travellers ask not only Google, but also AI assistants. And they are much more useful than asking: “What is the best hotel in Palma?” Because the right answer depends on the trip. At Hotel Amic Horizonte , our location on the western side of Palma makes particular sense for travellers whose stay connects with the Port of Palma, Porto Pi, Paseo Marítimo, business, meetings, c...

Fallcations in Mallorca: Why Autumn May Be the Best Time for a Palma City Break

  What if the best time to visit Mallorca begins when summer ends? For decades, Mallorca has been associated with July and August: beaches, sunshine, swimming pools and the Mediterranean summer. But travel habits are changing. More travellers are discovering the advantages of travelling in September, October, November, December and even January , choosing quieter destinations, city breaks, better-value stays, outdoor activities and a more relaxed way of travelling. There is even a name increasingly associated with this idea: Fallcation. A fallcation — or autumn vacation — means choosing autumn instead of the traditional peak summer period for your holiday or short break. And if there is one Mediterranean destination particularly well suited to this trend, it is Palma de Mallorca . At Hotel Amic Horizonte , overlooking the Bay of Palma, we believe Mallorca doesn't stop when summer ends. In many ways, this is when another Mallorca begins. What is a Fallcation? A fallcation is simply...

¿Y si vuelve el Mallorca Surf Action?

¿Y si vuelve el Mallorca Surf Action? No todos los eventos dejan huella. Algunos entretienen durante unas horas. Otros consiguen representar a toda una generación. El Mallorca Surf Action fue uno de ellos. Nació en 2005, en la Playa de Palma, a partir de un sueño individual que muy pronto se convirtió en colectivo. Durante seis ediciones, hasta 2010, reunió en un mismo escenario el mar, la playa, la cultura urbana, la música y la energía de miles de personas. Windsurf. Kitesurf. Wakeboard. Skate. BMX. Inline. Skimboard. Paddle surf. Deportistas profesionales, campeones internacionales, jóvenes talentos, voluntarios, patrocinadores, instituciones, medios de comunicación y un público que no acudía simplemente a mirar: acudía a formar parte de algo. En su momento de mayor proyección, el Mallorca Surf Action congregó a decenas de miles de personas y convirtió durante un fin de semana la Playa de Palma en uno de los grandes escaparates europeos de los deportes náuticos, urbanos y extremos....

WHAT IF THE BEST TIME TO VISIT MALLORCA STARTS WHEN SUMMER ENDS?

There is a word you may be hearing more often: Fallcation . It describes something quite simple: travelling in autumn instead of automatically taking your main break in July or August. And for a destination like Palma de Mallorca , it makes a lot of sense. October. November. December. Even January. Four months when Mallorca becomes a very different destination. The beaches are quieter. Palma becomes easier to walk. Restaurant terraces belong to locals again. Bellver Forest invites you to actually explore it. The Paseo Marítimo can be enjoyed rather than simply crossed. The old town, Santa Catalina and El Terreno recover another rhythm. And you can still wake up looking over the Mediterranean. At Hotel Amic Horizonte , we have always believed that Mallorca deserves more than one season. Our location explains why. We sit above the Port of Palma , between the renovated Paseo Marítimo, Porto Pi, the Club de Mar and Bellver, with El Terreno just around the corner and Palma city centre withi...

Layover in Palma: When a Few Hours Between Flights Can Become Part of Your Mallorca Experience

  Palma de Mallorca does not always have to be your final destination. Sometimes, it can be the perfect stop along the way. Some travellers arrive at Palma de Mallorca Airport to spend a week in Mallorca. Others land before boarding a cruise from the Port of Palma. Some come for business, connect with a ferry, have an early flight the following morning or simply need somewhere comfortable to spend a few hours between two stages of a journey. And that brings us to an increasingly relevant travel concept: LAYOVER IN PALMA A stopover. An overnight stay. A few hours to rest. A chance to turn waiting time into Mallorca time . And when your time is limited, there is one factor that becomes particularly important: location. Hotel Amic Horizonte enjoys a very distinctive position in Palma de Mallorca: above Porto Pi , next to the Port of Palma , overlooking the Bay of Palma , close to the Paseo Marítimo and connected by road with Palma de Mallorca Airport . It is not simply ab...

Nit de l’Art Palma | Hotel Amic Horizonte y arte

Nit de l’Art en Palma: cuando el arte encuentra alojamiento en el Hotel Amic Horizonte Hay noches que llenan una ciudad. Y hay noches que cambian la manera de mirarla. La Nit de l’Art de Palma pertenece a esa segunda categoría. Durante unas horas, las galerías abren sus puertas, los museos prolongan su conversación con la calle, los artistas se encuentran con el público y Palma de Mallorca recuerda que su identidad no termina en el sol, las playas o el verano. También es creación, pensamiento, arquitectura, luz, memoria y arte contemporáneo. En 2026, la cita será todavía más especial. La Nit de l’Art celebrará su 30.º aniversario el 19 de septiembre , tres décadas después de que Palma impulsara una iniciativa pionera que convirtió las galerías abiertas a la ciudadanía en el comienzo simbólico de la temporada expositiva. Así lo presenta Art Palma Contemporani , la asociación que sitúa el evento entre las grandes citas artísticas del calendario europeo. El Hotel Amic Horizonte , abierto...
