Property Overview

Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá is an adults-only property in the Illetas area of Mallorca, housed in the celebrated "chocolate building" designed by architect José Antonio Coderch and a member of Leading Hotels of the World. The hotel sits above a secluded beach cove with direct access, lush gardens with Bali beds, and a pool club designed by Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti. The Riva Lounge is a standout, a dining destination inspired by the elegance of Riva yachts, with mahogany finishes, Aquarama furnishings, and a panoramic sea-facing terrace. Guests can also charter a Rivamare yacht directly from the hotel for private excursions, sunset aperitifs, or dinner on the open sea.

Agent Tips

  • Charter the Rivamare yacht for a private sunset cruise, complete with aperitifs and a swim in hidden coves.
  • Take a day trip to Deià, a charming mountain village known for its artistic heritage, dramatic cliffs, and the stunning coastal walk to Cala Deià, ideal for a scenic lunch by the sea.
  • Book a table at the Riva Lounge for sunset – the sea-facing terrace and yacht-inspired design make it one of the most atmospheric dining spots on the island.

Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá has two distinct pool experiences. The Sky Pool is an elevated infinity pool perched above the Mediterranean, with panoramic sea views and daybed seating. It's at its best at sunset, preferably with a cocktail in hand. Down att water level, the BOMBON Pool Club is a collaboration with Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti, with signature tie-dye prints, considered outdoor furnishings, and direct access to the hotel's private beach cove.

The fitness center is open around the clock at no charge, with complimentary yoga and well-being classes on selected days. Personal training and TRX studio sessions are available on request for an additional fee.

Restaurant + Bar

A celebration of Mediterranean elegance and Mallorcan charm.

Hotel de Mar’s culinary offerings are a celebration of Mediterranean elegance and Mallorcan charm. Bombon at the BOMBON Pool Club serves Mediterranean flavors in Alberta Ferretti's beachfront setting. The Riva Lounge brings a nautical sensibility to fresh, local ingredients, best experienced on the sea-facing terrace. Marga Coll's signature restaurant takes traditional Mallorcan cuisine in a more contemporary direction, with tasting menus that showcase the island's produce. Perseo, the fourth restaurant, sits surrounded by pine trees with sea views and offers healthy à la carte options and a locally sourced buffet breakfast.

The Riva Lounge sits on the hotel terrace, inspired by the elegance of Riva yachts, with open-air Mediterranean views and a cocktail-focused menu. The BOMBON Pool Club bar is the daytime counterpart, with signature cocktails, light bites, and a poolside setting designed by Alberta Ferretti – the perfect spot to soak in the Mediterranean vibes.

    Serene and timeless, with an elegant mid-century character and the Mediterranean at every turn.
  • Who's it for?
    We love Hotel de Mar for couples, honeymooners, and solo travelers looking for an adults-only retreat with gourmet dining on one of Mallorca's quieter stretches of coast.

    Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá sits above a private cove in Ses Illetes on Mallorca's southwest coast, surrounded by pine gardens and with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea.
