🏨 Accommodation

Castell dels Hams

hotel

Hotel Castell dels Hams is a 4-star retreat set amid lush gardens in the peaceful countryside of Mallorca's east coast, just 2km from the charming fishing village of Porto Cristo. A free daily shuttle bus connects guests to Porto Cristo's sandy beach, palm-lined harbour and seafront restaurants in minutes, striking a lovely balance between seclusion and convenience. The 266 rooms each come with a private balcony overlooking the gardens, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, sound-proofed windows and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Safes are available to rent. For relaxing and keeping active, there are three outdoor swimming pools (including a shallow one for younger guests) plus an indoor pool, surrounded by a sun-lounger-lined solarium. A well-equipped gym is on hand for fitness routines, while the impressive sports facilities include tennis and squash courts, mini golf, archery, volleyball, basketball, darts and table tennis. Entertainment is one of the hotel's biggest strengths. A dedicated team runs a varied daily programme from morning until late evening, including pilates, yoga, board games and pool games, followed by lively evening shows and an on-site disco. The atmosphere is warm and sociable without ever feeling intrusive. Dining centres on a buffet restaurant serving international cuisine with show-cooking stations, with three meals a day. An all-inclusive option covers a wide range of soft drinks, beers, local wines and spirits, while the lounge bar serves drinks throughout the day alongside pastries, sandwiches and crêpes between meals. The surrounding area is a real highlight, with the spectacular Coves del Drach and Coves dels Hams caves both within easy reach, plus the secluded Cala Petita cove accessible on foot or by boat — making this an ideal base for combining relaxation with a taste of authentic Mallorca.
