Rent a small car to explore Mallorca and reach sights beyond the quiet immediate area; taxis work, but returning to the hotel can be trickier.
Guests tend to love the hotel’s peaceful, elegant feel: landscaped grounds, attractive contemporary rooms and a well-kept overall setting make a strong impression. The pools, spa and generous room sizes are particular highlights, while many guests describe the team as genuinely welcoming and attentive from arrival through departure. The experience is not flawless, though. Some report patchy communication at reception or occasional issues with room allocation and amenity access. Dining, drinks and added fees are also often seen as expensive, even by Mallorca resort standards.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Kimpton Aysla Mallorca By IHG.
Rent a small car to explore Mallorca and reach sights beyond the quiet immediate area; taxis work, but returning to the hotel can be trickier.
Use the complimentary electric bikes for local trips, especially around the hilly surrounding area.
Book a spa facial for a standout treatment.
Tell the concierge about any special occasion before arrival.
Use the pool and spa areas when you want space, as both typically have plenty of room.
Walk 15 minutes or take a short taxi ride to town or the beach; hotel parking costs €8 daily.
Pre-book dinner tables, as restaurants may be heavily reserved.
Use the indoor pool in March, as the outdoor pool is unheated.
Request a room with a double balcony.
Avoid front-facing rooms, which overlook the car park and may pick up vehicle and telephone noise.
Charge electric vehicles at the well-serviced points in the hotel car park.
Use the hotel’s complimentary shuttle bus for convenient local transport.
Join the gym’s complimentary daytime classes, including yoga and Pilates, and use its well-equipped facilities.
Kimpton Aysla Mallorca is a polished, romantic retreat with a distinctly unhurried Mediterranean rhythm. Contemporary architecture, leafy grounds and light-filled interiors set a calm tone, while spacious, design-led rooms make it feel more like a stylish private escape than a conventional resort. Come evening, the mood shifts easily from poolside lounging to organic wine, cocktails and Mediterranean cooking.
Set in Santa Ponsa, on Mallorca’s southwest coast and within easy reach of Palma, the hotel is well placed for beach days, golf at nearby T Golf and quieter resort downtime. There are three pools to choose from, including a notably large indoor pool, plus a 24-hour gym and the CODAGE spa for proper switching off. It suits couples after a serene break, but the family pool and nearby tennis facilities also make it practical for active families and groups.
Guests regularly single out the beautiful setting, generous rooms and excellent spa area, with many saying the welcome feels thoughtful from check-in onward. The reception and front-office teams earn frequent praise, as does the relaxed social hour. A few visitors, however, have found communication uneven at times, and some feel restaurant prices and extra charges take the edge off an otherwise deeply relaxing stay.
