Caramelo Palma Beach

Escape the everyday with a stay at Cook's Club Palma Beach. An adult-only (16+) playground for the wild-at-heart. You’ll be around like-minded people, here to relax, revel and soak up the good times. And the vibes are as laid-back as the decor. Think deep plushy sun loungers, boho styling and a heady dose of all-night raves led by top-class resident DJs - all a stone’s throw from the white sandy shores of pristine Playa de Palma.

Situated in S’Arenal, you’ve also got access to a vibrant town lined with bustling local markets, foodie hotspots and an endless choice of high-octane nightclubs. A notoriously cool destination, you’ll see all kinds of characters along the lively promenade. From skateboarders and rollerbladers to beachgoers and party-lovers. Enjoy an afternoon of sampling traditional Spanish cooking at one of the trendy tapas joints. Take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Med. Or rent a scooter to explore the iconic district on two wheels. For the adrenaline junkies, you can jetski, windsurf, or dive your way along the turquoise coastline.

Cook’s Club Palma Beach is just as vogue as its surroundings. You can laze around the freshwater pool by day, vibing to live DJ tracks and sipping expertly mixed cocktails. And when night falls, you’re invited to turn up the tempo with electronic dance raves carrying you through till sunrise. If you want to burn off the hangover, you can pump iron in the state-of-the-art gym or rent a bike and pedal through town. The hotel also has dedicated working stations for those catching up on important emails.

And as for the food, you can tuck into the freshest local cuisine at Catina. It’s open for breakfast from 8 to 10:30am and for the all day menu from 12:30 to 10pm. This gorgeous a la carte restaurant has live cooking stations. Highly skilled chefs serve up regional dishes, traditional Spanish tapas, and delicious international favourites. It's a foodies paradise, from fresh pizza and pasta to juicy hamburgers, refreshing salads, and classic Greek and French plates. If you book Half Board you’ll get a €14 credit towards food and drink each day. It can’t be carried over if you don’t use it, but you can use it whatever time you desire, even if you want a very late lunch or early dinner.

For poolside cocktails, head to Captain Cook, where the premium spirits, fresh juices and hand-picked herbs are shaken, stirred and poured from 10am to 12.30am , with snacks served from 10pm.

Just like the rest of the hotel decor, the rooms are a chic fusion of paired-down industrial elements and beachy materials. We’re talking natural rattan pendant lights, laid-back timber, woven straw poufs, scandi wire chairs and urban stone walls. All rooms feature free WiFi, a safety deposit box, air conditioning, a hairdryer and bathroom amenities. Choose from a well-appointed standard double or twin room with urban or pool view.

Think you can pull yourself away for a day? If you’re planning to explore the Palma region, we recommend a wander down to the charismatic streets of the old town, Barri Gòtic. Visit La Seu cathedral and see 10th century Moorish baths (available as a combined admission ticket), 15th century Llotja (half castle, half church) and the magnificent Catalan Gothic architecture. You’ve also got to experience the local food. Pop into the squares for authentic tapas served at the trendy pavement cafes. Nothing beats washing down a plate of Galician octopus and Serrano ham with a glass of afternoon vino.
