Can Cera earns its place on the courtyard, the spa you can have to yourselves and an old-town address you can walk everywhere from. Pay for the Signature Junior Suite, and save the beach days for the coast. A 14-room old-town house built for quiet: you walk Palma by day and come back to a courtyard, a spa you can have to yourselves and a roof terrace. There is no pool and no beach on the doorstep.
There is no pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
L'Avenida earns its place by putting you inside Sóller: a small, adults-only house with a pool, people who know where to book dinner, and the tram and the mountains within walking distance. Pay for a Luxury Suite, come between March and October, and pack for the stairs. A twelve-room house in the middle of a working mountain town: you sleep and swim here, then eat out every night on the staff's tips. It is small, quiet and adults-only, with no dinner, no spa and no beach at the door.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
