PB hotel design editorial

Jutting into the crystalline waters of Illetas on Mallorca's southwest coast, a rocky promontory that has defined the site since the hotel's original construction in the 1960s gives Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá its most irreplaceable asset — a position so close to the Mediterranean that the sea is visible from virtually every angle of the property. The building itself is a mid-century modernist block, six floors of terracotta-brick facade with deep timber-framed balconies stepping back in a rhythm that softens what might otherwise read as a hard horizontal mass against the pine-covered hillside. The hotel carries a particular cultural distinction: Joan Miró, who lived and worked on Mallorca for much of his later life, had a personal connection to the property, and works in his unmistakable biomorphic vocabulary still hang in the guest rooms — visible in the images here, framed simply against cream plaster walls. Inside, the rooms combine rojo alicante marble floors with warm honey-toned timber joinery on doors and folding balcony screens, the sea framed through full-height glazing like a painting that changes with the light. The garden terraces descend through stone-walled gardens shaded by mature Aleppo pines and palms to a dark-bottomed lap pool edged in timber decking, white canopied daybeds arranged across manicured lawn toward the water. The beach restaurant keeps its palette deliberately bleached — white-painted shiplap screens, rattan pendant shades, wicker chairs — drawing warmth from the bay view rather than from the interior itself.

Hotel De Mar, a Gran Meliá Hotel Reviews

"I stayed at the hotel overnight before heading into Palma to meet friends. Upon check-in, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a room upgrade, which was a lovely touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The hotel’s location is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing stay by the sea while still being within easy reach of Palma. Breakfast was a highlight particularly the à la carte options, which were high quality and very enjoyable. The buffet selection was a bit more average in comparison, especially considering the overall standard of the hotel. The swimming pool area was clean and well-maintained, and the surrounding public areas of the hotel were also kept to a high standard. The location is convenient, with Palma about a 15-minute taxi ride away and Puerto Portals around 10 minutes by taxi. Although I didn’t have lunch or dinner at the hotel, the menu looked appealing. Overall, the staff were consistently helpful, and I had a very pleasant stay."

"Our stay at Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá was absolutely incredible — truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The atmosphere, views, and attention to detail made every moment feel special. A special shoutout to our housekeeper, who was absolutely amazing! The room was always spotless and beautifully arranged, with thoughtful touches that made us feel pampered. And the breakfast? Outta this world! Every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented — the best way to start each day. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!"
