Zel Mallorca is a 4-star hotel in Palmanova, part of Calvià, renovated in 2023. It belongs to the ZEL brand, co-created by Meliá Hotels International and Rafael Nadal. Aggregator listings put the property at 172 rooms; the hotel's own site returned an error to direct fetch, so this wasn't independently confirmed. There's a pool and spa on site, with Beso Beach running as the bar and restaurant. It's part of the MICHELIN Guide's hotel selection for Mallorca.

Background

About Zel Mallorca

Zel Mallorca belongs to the ZEL hotel brand, co-created by Meliá Hotels International and Rafael Nadal. The Palmanova property was renovated in 2023. Because the hotel's own site returned an error to direct fetch, most of the detail here comes from aggregator listings rather than the property itself.

Dining

Restaurants in the hotel

Beso is the restaurant, a Basque-Mediterranean kitchen on the beachfront. The Zel Patio pours speciality coffee from Café de Finca and is deliberately open to non-guests, so the communal spaces stay busy. Next to the main pool there's a palapa beach bar for cocktails and soft drinks, and it opens onto the promenade too, so you can order and take it down to the sand.

Location

Where Zel Mallorca is

Zel Mallorca is on the front at Palmanova. There are two pools: one with sea views and direct access onto the beach, the other set in a garden with water jets, both with sun loungers and Bali beds available at extra charge. Rooms are graded by what they face — garden, sea, or straight onto the seafront with a large balcony — and the textiles through them were made for the hotel by PANGEA Studio. Junior suites add a large private terrace; the suites add a Bali bed and a whirlpool bath on theirs. Parking comes with the stay.
