Set in the ancient streets of Palma, the capital, it’s a bona fide aristocratic manor house, some five hundred years old, transformed by its new owners into a 26-room boutique hotel that’s as elegant as it is contemporary — the sort of place that helps keep a destination like Mallorca inspiring even after decades in the spotlight.

Hotels Own Introduction
a gothic mansion reborn
Posada Terra Santa is an exclusive boutique hotel set within a beautifully restored Gothic mansion in the historic heart of Palma de Mallorca. As the first hotel in the Hidden Away collection, it was founded in 2014 by Carmen Cordón and Ignacio Jiménez. Their search for a place rich in history and character led them through Palma’s hidden courtyards and forgotten alleyways until they stumbled upon this noble residence—filled with centuries of memories. They fell in love, and so began the story of Posada Terra Santa.
where history meets modern luxury
Following a complete renovation in 2024, Posada Terra Santa reopens as a refined retreat where history, culture, and gastronomy intertwine. Its privileged central location, dedication to local cuisine, serene spa and wellness offerings, and a charming rooftop with panoramic views and a chill-out pool make it one of Palma’s most exclusive boutique stays. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street behind Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral, the hotel provides an oasis of tranquility despite being in the city’s vibrant core.
a culinary journey through mallorca
At La Despensa del Barón, the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, the focus is on Mediterranean flavors with a contemporary twist. Sourcing robust, locally inspired ingredients, the kitchen brings the essence of Mallorca’s countryside to the table. A favorite meeting spot for locals, La Despensa del Barón has become one of Palma’s most emblematic dining destinations.
a sanctuary for the senses
Housed in what was once a 16th-century grain depot, the hotel’s intimate wellness area offers a small heated pool, sauna, and treatment cabin. Guests can reserve the space for private use, ensuring a deeply personal and rejuvenating experience. A curated selection of body treatments, facials, and massages provides the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring Palma’s historic streets.
