Hotel Amic Horizonte – Your panoramic viewpoint over Mallorca’s most iconic sailing events
Few hotels in Mallorca have a connection with the sea as deep and authentic as Hotel Amic Horizonte.
Suspended above the Bay of Palma, overlooking the marinas, the Paseo Marítimo and one of the most active sailing hubs in the Mediterranean, our hotel has been part of the island’s nautical scene for decades.
From our terraces and sea-view rooms, guests have witnessed legendary events such as the Copa del Rey MAPFRE, the Trofeo Princesa Sofía, PalmaVela, classic yacht regattas and the Palma International Boat Show.
This is a tribute to that connection:
Horizon & Sea – a celebration of Palma’s nautical soul and our hotel’s privileged role within it.
🌍 Palma: The Sailing Capital of the Mediterranean
The Bay of Palma is one of the world’s most prestigious sailing arenas.
With stable winds, exceptional maritime infrastructure, perfect weather and a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere, it hosts some of the top regattas on the international calendar.
At the heart of it all is the Real Club Náutico de Palma (RCNP) — one of Europe’s most respected yacht clubs, founded officially in 1948 and home to countless world-class events.
Here are the major competitions that unfold right in front of Hotel Amic Horizonte:
🏆 Copa del Rey MAPFRE
The Copa del Rey is the Mediterranean’s most important offshore regatta, attracting over 100 boats from more than 20 countries every summer.
It gathers Olympic sailors, America’s Cup veterans, professional teams and international talent — with regular attendance from the Spanish Royal Family.
From the Horizonte, you can watch the fleet leave the port, cross the bay and return at sunset.
🌬️ Trofeo Princesa Sofía Mallorca
One of the world’s biggest Olympic-class regattas.
Since 1968, it has gathered thousands of sailors from over 50 nations — a true reference for pre-Olympic competition.
The bay becomes a theatre of skiffs, catamarans and dinghies dancing in the wind.
⛵ PalmaVela & La Larga
Modern racing yachts, classic yachts, maxis and professional crews fill the bay in this iconic spring regatta — one of the most visually impressive events of the season.
🚤 Palma International Boat Show & Superyacht Village
Every spring, the Moll Vell becomes the epicenter of Mediterranean yachting:
superyachts, refit companies, innovation, charters, sailmakers, tenders, yacht brokers and the most advanced technology.
For exhibitors and professionals, staying near the venue is essential — and this is where Horizonte becomes the perfect base.
