Heritage classic Espléndido’s strength is that it sits on the broad sweep of Port de Sóller like a stylish base camp, not a sealed-off resort, which makes it ideal for older children who want freedom and a bit of life. The design is modern ocean liner Chic with clean, modern lines, the rooms have a feeling of being well-designed, rather than overdone. For family set-ups, there are interconnecting options plus plenty of larger rooms with sofa beds, and the hotel even has true family suites: the Garden Family Suite is 721 square feet, while the Espléndido Suite is 770 square feet and set up like a duplex with two bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, two bathrooms, plus a terrace with a hot tub—ideal for older kids who need their own zone. Parents can enjoy a spa with a Turkish Bath and Sauna, as well as a gym or space to practice yoga or Pilates. You’ll find powdery white sands in front (the popular beach restaurant Patiki can be reached within a few minutes), shops of resort style, and pathways that are perfect for strolling on a warm evening. Enjoy the lush gardens in the rear and the stunning views from the terrace of the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains.
