Experience summer in Palma's largest private garden
Some places cannot be discovered at first glance. Behind the 16th-century façade of Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden, tucked away in Palma's Old Town, lies a secret unlike anywhere else in the city: the largest private garden in the historic centre.
Step inside and the atmosphere changes instantly. The city's bustle fades away, replaced by birdsong, fragrant flowers and lush Mediterranean vegetation. More than simply a hotel garden, this hidden oasis offers a peaceful retreat where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.
A hidden garden in the heart of Palma
Can Bordoy's garden is one of the hotel's defining features. Bougainvillea climbs centuries-old stone walls, jasmine perfumes the air, towering palm trees provide shade and mature trees create a refreshing escape from the summer heat. At its centre, a traditional fountain gently cools the surroundings, continuing a centuries-old Mediterranean tradition.
For generations, this garden has witnessed family gatherings, artistic inspiration and quiet conversations. Today it remains one of the most exclusive green spaces in Palma—a place designed to slow down, disconnect and simply enjoy the moment.
The perfect Summer day at Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden
During Summer, the garden becomes the heart of the hotel. The day begins with breakfast served outdoors beneath the trees, where freshly brewed coffee, homemade pastries and the scent of Mediterranean plants create a uniquely relaxed atmosphere.
As temperatures rise, guests retreat to the heated outdoor swimming pool, open throughout the year and surrounded by lush greenery. Comfortable loungers beneath the trees invite long afternoons of complete relaxation, while refreshing cocktails, fresh juices and homemade lemonade are always within reach.
Later in the day, the garden becomes even quieter. The sound of flowing water, birds singing and leaves moving gently in the breeze provide the perfect soundtrack for reading, unwinding or simply doing nothing at all. For those seeking deeper relaxation, outdoor massage treatments beneath the pergola transform wellness into an unforgettable open-air experience.
Summer evenings at Botànic Restaurant
As sunset arrives, the garden takes on a completely different atmosphere. Soft lighting, lanterns and candlelight transform the space into one of Palma's most romantic outdoor dining settings.
This is where Botànic Restaurant presents its new contemporary culinary concept, showcasing the finest local ingredients through creative Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Dinner becomes a multi-sensory experience where elegant dishes, fragrant flowers and the peaceful sound of the fountain come together beneath the stars. Whether staying at the hotel or visiting for dinner, guests discover one of the most unique restaurants in Palma's Old Town.
Luxury, nature and tranquillity in Palma
Can Bordoy offers something increasingly rare: complete tranquillity in the very centre of Palma.
Just a short walk from Palma Cathedral and the city's main cultural attractions, the hotel feels like a world apart—an urban sanctuary where time slows down and every moment is designed to be savoured.
Whether you're planning a luxury city break, a romantic getaway, an unforgettable dinner at Botànic or simply searching for a luxury hotel in Palma with a garden and pool, Can Bordoy invites you to experience a different side of Mallorca's capital.
