🕰️ A Horizon Full of History: The Beginnings of Hotel Horizonte in the 60s





🕰️ A Horizon Full of History: The Beginnings of Hotel Horizonte in the 60s

Perched above Palma, with its eyes always on the sea, a dream was born over six decades ago: the Hotel Horizonte.
Today, thanks to the incredible work of Fotos Antiguas de Mallorca (FAM) and the Miguel Aguiló Capllonch Archive, we’re able to travel back in time and relive those special moments that marked the beginning of a story filled with emotions, connections, and unforgettable memories.

The Hotel Horizonte first opened its doors in the early 1960s, in a city just beginning to blossom—welcoming travelers, modernity, and the spirit of discovery. From its first cozy rooms and charming wooden reception desk to its sunny bar terrace and sweeping views over the port of Palma, every corner of the hotel held a story waiting to be lived.


🌟 A Place With Soul and Shared Memories

Since those early days, thousands have passed through our doors: curious travelers, entire families, artists, sailors, honeymooners… Each one left a trace in these walls—and many of those stories still live on today.

Looking at these photos, it’s hard not to feel nostalgic. The original pool, breakfast by the panoramic windows, summer evenings at the poolside bar… Hotel Horizonte didn’t just offer sea views—it offered a window into Mallorca’s bright future.


📸 Do You Have Old Photos at Hotel Horizonte? We’d Love to See Them!

We want to write a new chapter in this story—with you.
If you, your parents or grandparents once stayed at Hotel Horizonte, we warmly invite you to share your memories and vintage photos with us.

👉 Send them to:
hotelhorizonte@amic-hotels.com

With your help, we’re creating a living archive of stories—one that honors the legacy of our hotel and all the people who have been part of it.


❤️ Thank You, FAM Mallorca

Our heartfelt thanks go to Fotos Antiguas de Mallorca (FAM) for their dedication to preserving the island’s visual memory. Their work brings the past back to life and helps us remember where it all began.




🌅 Since 1963... Always Looking to the Horizon

Because a hotel isn’t just rooms, buildings, or pools.
A hotel is made of memories, people, stories, and emotions. At Hotel Amic Horizonte, we’re proud to continue writing new stories—without ever forgetting where we came from.

  🌍 Las coordenadas del corazón: el homenaje de Anne y la leyenda de Tage en Hotel Horizonte 39°33'19.2"N 2°37'18.8"E Marcadas con tinta. Grabadas en la piel. Pero sobre todo… eternamente tatuadas en el alma. Anne, viajera fiel desde Dinamarca, lleva en su brazo más que unas simples coordenadas. Lleva el lugar donde su corazón se siente en casa: el Hotel Horizonte en Mallorca . Un lugar que ha sido su refugio, su tradición familiar, y el legado vivo de su padre, Tage M. , pionero del cicloturismo en la isla. 🚴‍♂️ Tage no pedaleaba rutas. Creaba recuerdos. Durante décadas, hizo del Hotel Horizonte su base para organizar rutas de ciclismo de carretera y pista en Mallorca. Pero su legado va más allá de las bicis: creó una comunidad, una familia, una tradición que sigue viva hoy. Cada año, decenas de ciclistas y amigos de toda Europa vuelven no solo por las vistas o el clima, sino por ese espíritu único que Tage sembró en cada rincón del hotel. Y ahora, Anne co...
