So yes, taxis don’t like this hotel (and often refuse to drop you off at its doors), but considering it’s nearly at the top of the Dalt Vila, we can see why. What makes up for that, however, are its 360-degree views of the marina and bay, historic stone walls, and simple, classy rooms complete with black iron beds and breezy white linens. Don’t miss the breakfast at Adolfo’s Corner and do take a dip in the pool down the street, which is surrounded by olive trees and especially atmospheric at night.

Top tip: Check out what’s going on as local celebrations often start (or end) in the Dalt Vila – from Semana Santa (Easter) celebrations or the Medieval Festival in May to the Patron Saint’s Day in late July/early August.
