Top 5 best hotels to stay in Palma de Mallorca

In Palma, you can be sure that there is no shortage of hotels. Over 20 million tourists are expected to visit the island in 2024. For the record, Palma has just under a million inhabitants. Half of the island’s GDP comes from tourism. The island must therefore adapt to this phenomenon of overtourism, as it has such an impact on the local economy. You can find a wide range of luxury accommodation as well as more affordable accommodation. That said, Palma de Mallorca remains a fairly expensive destination when it comes to accommodation.
