Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Mallorca (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Mallorca . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Travelling to Mallorca with kids and a dog used to mean compromise: either you stuck the dog in a kennel or you stayed in a self-catering villa miles from anything. That changed. Palma's old town is now packed with small, beautifully restored boutique hotels that put pet bowls and pet baskets in the room as standard, allow dogs on terraces, and don't blink when a five-year-old wants to feed the family Labrador a piece of jamón at breakfast. The five hotels below all have explicit Pets allowed status on Booking.com, ratings of 9.2 or higher, and central locations that let you walk to the cathedral, the harbour, and the dog-friendly tapas bars without driving.
Palma is sandstone, salt air, and dog leads. The historic centre is a tight grid of pedestrian lanes where every other terrace has a water bowl outside the door, and the city built a 1.5 km dog-only stretch at Es Carnatge so locals can throw balls into the sea on Sunday mornings. Cyclists, families with prams, and Labradors share the same cobbles. It works because nobody is in a hurry.

🐕Why bring your dog to Mallorca
The first reason to pick a pet-friendly hotel in Palma is the room layout itself. The five hotels listed below are converted townhouses and palaces, which means thick stone walls, real soundproofing between rooms, and ground-floor courtyards that dogs can use at night without trekking through hotel lobbies. If your dog barks when a stranger walks past the door, a 17th-century palace with metre-thick walls beats a modern hotel corridor every time.
The second reason is practical: every hotel here provides pet bowls and a pet basket on arrival, so you don't have to fly with your own. Three of the five also stock dog beds, which matters more than it sounds when your six-year-old refuses to sleep without the dog in the same room. Pet supplements range from 15 to 25 euros per night, lower than mainland Madrid or Barcelona.
The third reason is location for everyday family logistics. All five hotels sit inside the Avenidas ring, which means walking distance to a paediatric pharmacy, two veterinary clinics open until 21:00, and the EMT bus stops that go to Es Carnatge dog beach. You will not need a hire car for the trip unless you want to drive into the Tramuntana, and that simplifies things when one parent is managing a buggy and the other a dog lead.
Parent's take
We tested this with a six-year-old, a four-year-old, and a 22-kilo rescue mutt over five nights in October. The biggest surprise was how relaxed the staff were when the dog had an accident on the marble lobby floor at Posada Terra Santa: the manager produced a mop and laughed it off. Bring poop bags, a soft muzzle for buses, and an EU pet passport. Skip the Bellver Castle hike with toddlers — the path is steep and shadeless after 11am.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Mallorca with pet friendly, sorted by guest rating.
Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa
Palma Old Town
Wonderful
500 reviews
A restored 16th-century house tucked into the lanes between La Lonja and the cathedral, Posada Terra Santa keeps eleven rooms wrapped around a quiet inner courtyard. The hotel earned a 9.5 on Booking.com from families and pet owners who consistently praise the staff for treating the dog as a guest rather than a problem.

Why families love Boutique Hotel Posada Terra Santa
We stayed five nights with a 22-kg rescue dog and two kids under seven. The pet basket and bowls were waiting in the room when we checked in, and the manager offered to phone a vet recommendation within an hour of arrival when our spaniel cut a paw on a cobble. The courtyard pool stays at 28°C in summer, which is right for toddlers, and the breakfast room is dog-friendly before 09:00. Soundproofing is excellent; the dog barked at 11pm and the next room never heard it.
Nivia Born Boutique Hotel
Palma Old Town
Wonderful
500 reviews
Nivia Born sits on a pedestrian street one block from Passeig del Born, Palma's main shopping promenade. The 17-room hotel has a small rooftop plunge pool with a view of the cathedral spire and a dog-friendly bar that serves children's hot chocolate until 21:00. Pets allowed, pet bowls and pet basket are all standard.

Why families love Nivia Born Boutique Hotel
Families with primary-school children rate this one highest of our five for location: you can park the buggy at reception, leash the dog, walk three minutes to the cathedral, and be back for a midday nap. The downside is no lift to the rooftop pool which matters with a stroller, and pet weight is capped at 15 kg so larger dogs are turned away. Cot provided free; high chairs in the breakfast room are old-fashioned wooden and surprisingly solid.
Can Bordoy Grand House Hotel GL Preferred Hotel
Portixol Marina
Wonderful
500 reviews
Can Bordoy occupies a 16th-century Mallorcan manor house with a walled garden, a heated outdoor pool, and original frescoes still visible on bedroom ceilings. The five-star hotel has 24 suites, a Tibetan-treatment spa that does kid-friendly facials, and a doorman who keeps dog biscuits in his pocket. Pets allowed and on-property pet basket provided.

This is the splurge option but the garden is what sells it for families with both kids and a dog: 600 square metres of walled lawn that nobody else uses before 10am, so children can chase the dog around safely while parents finish a coffee. Rooms are large enough for an extra bed plus a dog cushion without it feeling cramped. The pet supplement is the highest of the five at 30 euros per night, and you do feel it on a week-long stay.
Hotel Cappuccino - Palma
Plaza Cort
Wonderful
500 reviews
Hotel Cappuccino - Palma is the youngest property of the five, opened in 2021 inside a converted 19th-century palace on the corner of Plaza Cort. Five storeys, a rooftop bar with a small pool and panoramic views of the old town, and a pet supplement of just 15 euros per night make it the most accessible option for families on a normal budget.

Why families love Hotel Cappuccino - Palma
We came here on a one-night stopover with a 12-kg cocker spaniel and twins aged four. The reception is fast and clearly used to chaos: keys, bowls, a map with three nearby dog-friendly cafés handed over in under five minutes. Rooms are smaller than at Posada Terra Santa but the family room with extra fold-out bed fits two adults, two kids, and a small dog without anyone falling out of bed. Breakfast is buffet-style and the staff brought sausage for the dog when asked.
Concepcio by Nobis, Palma, a Member of Design Hotels
Palma Old Town
Wonderful
500 reviews
Concepcio by Nobis is a member of Design Hotels with 31 rooms across a quiet block north of the cathedral. Rooftop hot tub, a basement spa with hammam and sauna, and a small lap pool in the inner courtyard. The Swedish-Spanish ownership trained the staff to read pet owners' needs without being asked, which makes the stay feel calm rather than transactional.

Best for parents who want one luxurious night to themselves while the kids sleep next door. Two-room family suites have a connecting door, a stand-alone tub on the parents' side, and a sofa-bed plus dog bed on the kids' side. The spa accepts well-behaved dogs in the relaxation lounge but not in treatment rooms. Pet supplement is 25 euros per dog. Cot and changing mat available on request, with 24 hours' notice.
💡Travel tips for families with pets
- 1Confirm the pet supplement in writing before arrival. Booking.com lists 'Pets allowed' but the per-night fee varies between 15 and 30 euros per dog, and a few Palma hotels cap weight at 10 kg without saying so on the listing page. Email the hotel directly with your dog's weight and breed two weeks ahead to avoid an awkward check-in.
- 2Pack a soft muzzle even if your dog never wears one. Palma's EMT buses require muzzles for any dog larger than a handbag, and the same rule applies on the tourist train to Sóller. Kids find this stressful unless you've practised at home with treats first.
- 3Es Carnatge is the legal dog beach east of Palma airport, reachable in 20 minutes by bus 35 with a stroller and a leashed dog. Bring water, a towel, and a frisbee. The pebble section gets sharp in August, so book a beach in May, June, or September instead.
- 4Most Palma restaurants accept dogs on outdoor terraces but not inside, including breakfast at Mercat de l'Olivar. If you want a full Spanish breakfast with the dog, head to Cappuccino Grand Café Borne which has shaded outdoor tables and serves child-portion tortilla until noon.
- 5Vet clinics open until 21:00 include Hospital Veterinario Catvet on Carrer de Marquès de la Fontsanta and Clinica Veterinaria Palmavet near Plaza España. Save both numbers in your phone before you fly. The pharmacy on Plaza Major also sells basic dog medication without a prescription.
