Best Mallorca Hotels with Indoor Pools for Families (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with indoor pool in Mallorca . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Mallorca is mostly sold as a summer island, and in July you will not care whether a pool is indoor or outdoor. But families travel off-season too. If you visit in March, late October, or over Christmas, an indoor pool turns a gamble into a guaranteed swim day. It also saves the afternoon when a toddler is sunburnt or the tramuntana wind kicks up. This page lists five Palma-area hotels that actually have an indoor pool, not just a spa hydro jet. Four are walkable boutique hotels in the old town. One is a luxury resort on a hill, ten minutes by car from the cathedral. All accept kids and none are marked adults-only.
Palma does not feel like a typical beach resort town, which is the point if you are there in winter. The old town is flat, walkable, and packed with ensaimada bakeries, cathedral squares, and quiet courtyards behind medieval walls. Kids run it out in Parc de la Mar. Parents get a sit-down lunch. The indoor-pool hotels sit inside this grid, so you can swim, dry off, and be eating paella in fifteen minutes.
🏊Why an indoor pool changes a Mallorca family trip
Indoor pools on Mallorca are almost always inside a spa or wellness floor, not a separate kids area. That shapes the experience. Expect quiet, dim lighting, warmer water (around 30°C), and an unwritten rule that nobody jumps in. Most hotels ask guests under 14 to be accompanied, and some set specific family hours in the morning before adults arrive for treatments. Worth checking at booking.
On the practical side, these pools are usually small — 6 to 10 metres — so they are for soaking and floating, not laps. A toddler who just wants to paddle and splash will love it. A ten-year-old who wants a waterslide will get bored in 20 minutes. Pair it with a beach afternoon in shoulder season or a winter trip to the Palma Aquarium on a rainy day, and the indoor pool becomes the evening wind-down rather than the main event.
Parent's take
Honestly, as parents, the indoor pool is more about us than the kids. A calm 20-minute soak after a museum day, with the kid already tired enough to not negotiate bedtime. That is the real value. The luxury resort option is different — its pool is larger and sits inside a proper spa, so kids get more room, but you pay for it.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Mallorca with indoor pool, sorted by guest rating.
Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume
Palma Old Town
Wonderful
367 reviews
A 5-star boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century palace on Carrer de Sant Jaume with an underground spa featuring indoor pool, steam room, jacuzzi, and sauna. The courtyard has a restaurant with Mallorcan cuisine, and the hotel provides children's high chairs, books, and DVDs.

Why families love Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume
Walking into this hotel felt like discovering a secret. From the outside it's just a door on a narrow Palma street, but inside there's a limestone courtyard with orange trees and a pool you can hear from the rooms above. The spa is in the basement — vaulted ceilings, dim lighting, and a heated indoor pool that our kids loved because it felt like swimming in a cave. The steam room and sauna are adults-only but they're right there, so you can alternate. Breakfast was outstanding, and the staff brought out colouring books for our daughter without us asking.
Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa
Palma de Mallorca
Wonderful
564 reviews
Posada Terra Santa is a converted Moorish-era townhouse in the old Jewish quarter. It has two pools: a small outdoor patio pool and an indoor heated pool tucked into a low-ceilinged cellar. The rooms sit around a central courtyard, which muffles street noise but echoes footsteps.

Why families love Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa
This is the easiest family pick on the list. The indoor pool runs warm year-round, nobody fusses when a kid splashes, and the restaurant serves a short kids menu if you ask. We did three nights in December with a four-year-old. The courtyard echoes, so a light-sleeping baby may struggle. Good rates in shoulder season make it the best value here.
Hotel Antigua Palma - Casa Noble
Palma Old Town
Wonderful
889 reviews
Casa Noble sits a block from Palma cathedral in a restored noble house with a Gothic entrance. The indoor spa pool is small and deep. Rooms vary in size, with a few genuine family suites at the top of the building that have partial cathedral views.

€303/night
Why families love Hotel Antigua Palma - Casa Noble
Of the five, this felt the most kid-friendly on our stay. Reception handed our son a welcome biscuit without asking, and the spa lets families use the pool in a dedicated morning slot. Rooms are traditional, with tile floors and shuttered windows. The only miss was the breakfast room, which fills up fast at 9am. Go early or take a pastry walk first.
Sant Jaume Design Hotel
Palma de Mallorca
Wonderful
617 reviews
A design-led five-star on the same street as its sister property Gloria, Sant Jaume Design Hotel has a small indoor pool on the wellness floor, a rooftop terrace with a plunge pool, and a more contemporary vibe than the other old-town stays. Art-hung corridors throughout.

€470/night
Why families love Sant Jaume Design Hotel
Pick this one if you have older kids who want a modern room and do not mind quiet lobby art. The indoor pool is genuinely small, probably six metres, so you take turns rather than swim together. The rooftop plunge pool is the real sell in winter sun. Staff were pragmatic about a ten-year-old who wanted room service at 10pm. Not cheap, but well-run.

A hilltop Marriott Luxury Collection property in Son Vida, 15 minutes' drive from Palma. The wellness centre has a proper heated indoor pool, an outdoor pool with city views, and a larger spa layout than any boutique in town. Set on a golf estate with gardens.

€522/night
Why families love Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca
The only true resort on this list, Son Vida has the space a week-long family stay needs. The indoor pool is big enough for two kids to swim, and gardens stretch far enough to burn off energy before dinner. Trade-off is location: you need a rental car, and dinner in town is a 20-euro taxi each way. We would come back for a winter week, not a weekend.
💡Tips for booking an indoor-pool hotel in Mallorca
- 1Ask at booking whether kids are allowed in the indoor pool all day or only during morning family hours. Palma boutique spa pools sometimes restrict afternoon access to adults.
- 2Check the pool depth before you commit if you travel with a non-swimmer. Boutique basement pools often run 1.4 metres throughout, which is too deep for a five-year-old on their own.
- 3Bring swim nappies. Spa pools usually require them for under-threes and the hotels rarely sell them. The pharmacy on Passeig del Born has a decent selection year-round.
- 4Book the old-town hotels for short stays and the Son Vida resort if you want three plus nights with space. The basement spa pools feel small after day two for an energetic kid.
- 5Off-season rates drop hard from mid-November to mid-March, except Christmas and New Year. January can cost half of a July visit for the same room, and the indoor pool is the whole point of coming then.
