The Heart of Mallorca. The Spirit of Hospitality. The Soul of Amic Hotels.
There are words that open doors.
Words that connect people.
Words that feel warm, familiar, welcoming — even if you’re far from home.
In Mallorca, one of those words is “Amic.”
And when you hear “Hola Amic” at Hotel Amic Horizonte, it is much more than a greeting.
It is an invitation.
A gesture of belonging.
A little piece of Mallorcan culture wrapped in two simple words.
This page is a tribute to everything those words represent — for our hotel, for our guests, and for the global community of Amics Around the World.
🏝️ 1. The Mallorcan Meaning of “Amic”
“Amic” means friend in Mallorquín, the language spoken in Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.
But its meaning goes far beyond “friend.”
In Mallorca, “Amic” carries:
✔ warmth
✔ closeness
✔ hospitality
✔ trust
✔ respect
✔ history
✔ local identity
When a Mallorcan says “Hola, Amic”, they are not merely greeting you.
They are opening their world to you.
🤝 2. Hola Amic: The Essence of Our Philosophy
Since the very beginning, our hotels chose a name that felt natural — not manufactured, not artificial.
AMIC was not a brand.
It was a way of welcoming people.
“Hola Amic” became:
-
our philosophy
-
our tone
-
our promise
-
our identity
-
our link with Mallorca
-
our signal that guests are more than room numbers
-
the spirit that guides every stay
In a world full of complicated slogans, we stayed simple.
Two words.
Two emotions.
Hola Amic.
🌍 3. Amics Around the World – The Global Community
Through the years, thousands of travelers from every corner of the planet have stayed at Hotel Amic Horizonte.
Some came for a night.
Some for a week.
Some returned every year.
Some stayed for a lifetime — in memories, in stories, in friendships formed here.
From this beautiful mix, something unexpected was born:
A global community of “Amics Around the World.”
People who feel connected to this hotel, to its views, to its sunsets, to its staff, to its stories.
Today, “Amics Around the World” includes:
🌍 travelers
🌍 digital nomads
🌍 artists
🌍 cyclists & athletes
🌍 airline crews
🌍 Mallorcans who adopted us as their second living room
🌍 guests who met here and stayed friends forever
🌍 families who return generation after generation
Our horizon connects people.
🌇 4. Hotel Amic Horizonte: The House of the Horizon
Overlooking Palma Bay since the 1960s, our hotel has always been a place where stories begin.
And all of them start with one moment:
Someone walks through the door and hears “Hola Amic.”
That greeting has:
✔ welcomed Miss Baleares contestants
✔ hosted global Toastmasters
✔ cheered sports champions
✔ inspired musicians and video creators
✔ calmed tired travelers
✔ connected strangers
✔ reunited families
✔ sparked romances
✔ created memories that never left
The hotel, the views, the community — everything begins with that one word: Amic.
🌅 5. Hola Amic Is a Feeling
You feel it when:
-
you wake up to the sunrise
-
the staff remembers your name
-
you see Palma from the terrace for the first time
-
you share a drink at Horizon Bar
-
you connect with someone new
-
you feel at home even far from your home
-
you relax because you’re understood
-
you return and someone says:
“Welcome back, Amic.”
“Hola Amic” is not something we say.
It’s something we mean.
💙 6. Why This Greeting Became Our Identity
Because it represents everything we are:
✔ local
✔ warm
✔ simple
✔ honest
✔ Mediterranean
✔ human
✔ friendly
✔ timeless
In a world increasingly automated, Hola Amic is our reminder that hospitality is personal.
✈️ 7. A Greeting That Follows You After You Leave
Something beautiful happens when guests return home.
They still use the word “Amic.”
They still share sunset photos.
They still follow our Instagram.
They still connect with us through this blog.
The greeting becomes part of their memories.
Part of their vocabulary.
Part of their story.
That is why this blog — one of the oldest hotel blogs in Spain — still has a mission:
To connect Amics from Mallorca to the world, and from the world back to Mallorca.

"Hola Amic" means "Hello Friend" in Catalan, which is the native language of the island of Mallorca in Spain. In this context, "Hola Amic" is a friendly and welcoming greeting that is used at AMIC Hotels to demonstrate the company's philosophy, which is based on treating its clients as friends.
