Wellness in Mallorca: Spa Day Passes, Hotels, Cryotherapy

Helps expats and residents navigate authorities, housing and everyday life on Mallorca.
Many hotels in Mallorca let you into their spa for a day even if you are not staying there: usually one to three hours of saunas, pool and relaxation area, for roughly 16 to 145 € depending on the hotel and what is included. A few places have their own rates for residents, and a handful stay open in winter, when most day passes pause. Wellness in Mallorca, for someone who lives here, is not a package holiday but a good way to use a free day, much like hiking or padel in our guide to leisure and sport on Mallorca. Below you will find the addresses with prices, the spas that stay open in winter, the two places offering cryotherapy and ice baths, and the spa hotels worth a night away.
Spa day passes in Mallorca: prices and addresses
In most cases you book a voucher through HotelTreats, the hotels' marketplace for day experiences, often with instant booking in a calendar. Some hotels also sell day passes at reception or through their own voucher shop. Three things apply almost everywhere: many spas require a swim cap and pool shoes, some lend towels only against a deposit, and the sauna areas are usually for guests aged 16 or 18 and over. The outdoor pool is generally not included in a spa-only pass.

Prices when booking through HotelTreats or the hotel, as of October 2026. Hotels change prices and seasons every year, so check the offer before you drive out. Whether reception charges the same as the voucher is only documented for Son Caliu, which publishes its own price list.
Resident rates
A few hotels have their own conditions for residents of the Balearic Islands: Hospes Maricel charges 29 € instead of 39 €. Castillo Son Vida and the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella in Son Vida sell their spa access only to residents, the Sheraton for 44 €, or 85 € with lunch. At Pure Salt Garonda in S'Arenal, breakfast plus spa costs residents 39 €, Hammam Al Ándalus gives 15 % through its resident programme, and Son Caliu takes 10 % off treatments. Which proof counts (NIE or TIE with a Balearic address, your empadronamiento) is best asked when booking, as each venue handles it differently.
Some hotels only admit non-guests to the spa together with a treatment: the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel in Canyamel (the former Park Hyatt, massage with breakfast from 131.25 €), the Mon Port in Port d'Andratx (spa, massage and breakfast 78.75 €), Hipotels Flamenco in Cala Millor and Pure Salt Port de Sóller. Four Seasons Formentor, Belmond La Residencia in Deià, Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra, Gran Meliá de Mar and Jumeirah Mallorca do not publish a day rate, so a day visit there is by request only. Cap Rocat in Cala Blava opens its spa to hotel guests only.
Wellness in winter: spas that are still open in November
Many day passes only run from February or March until late October or mid-November. After that, pool and sauna belong to the hotel guests again, or the hotel closes altogether. For the cold months, the options are mostly in and around Palma, where these spas are bookable all year according to their offers:
- Castillo Hotel Son Vida, residents' spa, 34 to 43 €
- Sheraton Mallorca Arabella, residents' spa, except 22 Dec to 2 Jan
- GPRO Valparaiso, fewer slots from November to January
- Meliá Palma Bay, except the public holidays around Christmas and New Year
- HM Palma Blanc, breakfast with 90 min spa, 38 €
- Hospes Maricel in Illetes, 29 to 39 €
- Nixe Palace in Cala Major, breakfast with 60 min spa, 50 €
- Can Bordoy in the old town, private spa suite, 60 min for two 120 €
- Rafa Nadal Academy, Beauty Spa in Manacor, 35 €
- Hammam Al Ándalus, open all year as a city day spa
Winter opening is not published for Son Caliu and Fontsanta, so call ahead.
Cryotherapy, ice baths and cold plunges
Since 2025 Mallorca has two places that treat cold not as an ice fountain next to the sauna but as the main offer:
- Bluezone in Illetes (Passeig Illetes 4) runs a whole-body cryotherapy chamber with electric dry cold at -85 °C. A session lasts 2.5 to 5 minutes, is supervised and starts with a health questionnaire. The first session costs 39 €, then 49 €, a 10-session pack 349 €, a 20-session pack 579 €. Regulars take the club: 3 sessions a week for 349 € a month (29 € per session) or 6 a week for 549 € (23 € per session), minimum three months. Open Mon to Fri 10 am to 2 pm and 3 pm to 6 pm, Sat 10 am to 2 pm. Sources: cryotherapy and club.
- Transcend in Palma (Carrer del Marquès de la Sènia 37) works with water rather than air: cold plunges at 2 and 9 °C, plus infrared sauna and hot tub. Drop-in 30 minutes 20 €, 60 minutes 35 €, 90 minutes 50 €, membership from 109 € a month. Sources: drop-in and memberships.
- Sauna Tramuntana in Bunyola opens its garden sauna tent with cold plunge on Tuesdays from 7 pm to 9 pm for 15 € (saunatramuntana.com).
- Cold pools inside hotel spas: Iberostar Llaut (cold plunge), Rafa Nadal Academy (frigidarium at 15 °C), Valparaiso and Son Caliu (ice fountain) and St. Regis Mardavall (ice grotto). Prices are in the table above.
Cold is a stimulus, not a cure
Among those who should stay out of the cryo chamber and the ice bath are pregnant women and people with untreated high blood pressure, heart conditions or a pacemaker, a history of thrombosis, circulatory disorders, cold allergy or an acute infection. If in doubt, check with a doctor first; the providers ask as well. On the evidence: there is no solid proof that whole-body cryotherapy works, according to Medizin transparent (Cochrane Austria, 2023, in German) and the older Cochrane review on cryotherapy for muscle soreness. For cold-water immersion, a meta-analysis in PLOS ONE (2025) found hints of better sleep and slightly lower stress, but from small studies. Treat it as an experience and a way to unwind, not as therapy.

Spa hotels for a weekend on the island
Sometimes a day pass is not enough, for instance when visitors arrive from abroad or you want a night away yourself. These hotels have a spa that carries the stay, and for all of them the table above tells you what a day visit costs. We do not quote room rates, they change daily.
- Fontsanta Hotel Thermal & Spa near Colònia de Sant Jordi says it is the only hotel in Mallorca using thermal water, with floating pools, saunas and an outdoor area with loungers. Adults only, quiet, in the south of the island. See Fontsanta on Booking.com.
- Castillo Hotel Son Vida is the castle hotel above Palma with views over the bay. The spa is open all year and the hotel is adults only from age 12. Residents can also book spa access without a room. See Castillo Son Vida on Booking.com.
- Hospes Maricel & Spa in Illetes sits right on the water, ten minutes from Palma. The spa is small but open all year and has a resident rate. See Hospes Maricel on Booking.com.
- Zoëtry Mallorca Wellness & Spa near Llucmajor is a country hotel inland with a thermal spa and ice fountain, a good fit for a weekend without the sea but with plenty of quiet. See Zoëtry on Booking.com.
- PortBlue Club Pollentia Resort & Spa in the Bay of Pollença has one of the island's largest spas at 3,000 m², access from age 16. Seasonal, from late February to early November. See Club Pollentia on Booking.com.
- Jumeirah Mallorca in Port de Sóller sits high above the harbour; the Talise Spa has a hydropool, hammam, sauna and ice fountain. Seasonal, and the hotel does not publish a day pass. See Jumeirah on Booking.com.
Three more addresses go through the town search: Can Bordoy with its private spa suite is in the heart of the old town (places to stay in Palma), Na Forana with outdoor pool and spa is in Cala Ratjada (places to stay in Cala Ratjada), and Ivory Playa in Port d'Alcúdia sells a day pass with pool, lunch and 60 minutes of spa for 37 €, bookable from 26 Feb to 3 Nov (places to stay in Alcúdia). Watch for "adults only" when booking: Fontsanta, Castillo, the Pure Salt hotels and several others do not take children.
Yoga, retreats and hammam
This post used to be about yoga and wellness, and yoga still belongs here, just with fewer promises. Regular classes run in Palma and the larger towns in almost every studio for 10 to 15 € per class, see the leisure and sport guide for details. One place that combines yoga and spa, and which we checked, is Cal Reiet Holistic Retreat in Santanyí: yoga classes every morning for beginners and advanced students, multi-day retreats with international teachers, and for half a day without staying over, pool and sauna until 2 pm for 60 € through HotelTreats.
More addresses, including the Mallorca Wellness Spa at Hipotels Gran Playa on Playa de Palma, are listed among the wellness providers in our directory. If you want to unwind without a hotel and without sauna heat, go to Hammam Al Ándalus in the centre of Palma: Arabic baths, reservation required, 15 % off through the resident programme.
Summary
For a free day, a day pass is enough, from 15.75 € on Playa de Palma to 145 € with lunch at Fontsanta. In winter, the addresses in Palma, Son Vida and Illetes stay open, plus Manacor. If you want to try cold, go to Bluezone or Transcend, and for a night away pick one of the six spa hotels above. Check season and price before you go, the hotels change both every year.
