Mallorca is evolving. Once known for package holidays and crowded beaches, the Balearic island is becoming a destination for conscious travelers seeking quality, sustainability, and authenticity. Thanks to initiatives like Plastic Free Balearics developed by Save the Med Foundation, and investments in renewable energy and water conservation, the island is positioning itself as a model for sustainable boutique hotels and tourism.
A growing number of small boutique hotels are leading this shift — combining local heritage, modern design, and a deep commitment to the environment. And when we write about sustainable hotels in Mallorca, we mean hotels that are completely free of single-use plastic, that treat seawater themselves, that offer vegan cuisine, grow their own vegetable garden, and are committed to helping the community. They are unique and located in very special places. Here are three hand-picked sustainable hotels in Mallorca that promise more than just a place to stay.
Es Racó d’Artà – A Conscious Retreat for Inner and Outer Balance
Located near the village of Artà and surrounded by the Llevant Natural Park, Es Racó d’Artà is a place of stillness, simplicity, and connection to nature. Originally a 13th-century estate, it has been carefully transformed into a minimalist retreat with 34 suites and casitas, some featuring private pools.
Everything at Es Racó follows a holistic philosophy — from the use of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship to the on-site organic gardens. Guests are invited to slow down through yoga, meditation, creative workshops, and moments of quiet reflection.
→ For those seeking adult-only serenity, a deeper connection to nature, and the chance to truly disconnect and reset.
Ratxo Prime Retret – a Sustainable Boutique Hotel in the Tramuntana Mountains
Ratxo is a beautiful boutique hotel set in a nature reserve in the Tramuntana Mountains. Just 30 minutes from Palma, the resort offers the ideal retreat for a getaway as a couple or with friends. Two restaurants serve seasonal Mallorcan cuisine – Roots, newly opened this year, is worth experiencing both from a culinary and architectural perspective. The retreat even makes its own beer, wine, and osmotic water. An outdoor pool and sun terrace offer stunning views of the nature reserve, and a heated indoor pool is perfect for morning laps.
→ Ideal for those seeking peace and seclusion in the heart of nature, with hiking and cycling trails on the doorstep and refined comforts throughout.
Ecocirer, a healthy stay
The pretty mountain village of Soller is a perfect starting point for avid mountain bikers and hikers. In the middle of the old village center between narrow streets, you will find the townhouse Ecocirer, a vegan bed and breakfast. Owner Barbara has already published several vegan cookbooks and prepares breakfast daily. In addition to the townhouse with its 6 rooms and a small courtyard, there is also the Ecocirer Farmhouse, where yoga retreats and cooking classes, as well as painting classes for children, take place. Thanks to the vintage railway and coastal tram lines, Ecocirer is perfect for car-free travel — offering easy access to both Palma and the beach.
→ Perfect for travelers looking to go car-free, enjoy plant-based cuisine, and combine town life with nearby mountain adventures.
Mallorca’s new generation of boutique hotels shows that sustainability and style can go hand in hand. Whether you’re looking for a design-forward mountain retreat, a car-free vegan escape, or a sanctuary of silence and mindfulness — these handpicked sustainable boutique hotels in Mallorca offer meaningful alternatives to conventional tourism.
