Hotel Honucai

Rooms

The rooms all share a calm, contemporary look, with feature walls, cushions and lighting bringing unique character and colour to each. We hear the beds are particularly comfortable. Higher-floor rooms are quieter and have better views.

Standard Rooms are the most affordable option and are best suited to shorter stays - some face inland or the street and might feel a little compact. Superior Rooms offer a bit more breathing space and are a noticeable step-up in comfort. Many have balconies and sea views, and a few also have private plunge pools, making them a good middle-ground choice if you want more light without paying top rates. Suites have separate living rooms and overlook the harbour and promenade, with balconies for your morning coffee or late-afternoon drink.

There are a handful of triple and quadruple rooms too, which would work well for families. But this is a fairly grown-up-style hotel, so we’d say these are aimed more at those travelling with older kids.

• Air conditioning

• Hairdryer

Eating

Meals at Hotel Honucai are served in the ground-floor Salicornia restaurant, overlooking the harbour. It’s a bright, contemporary space with a fun beach theme: coral in display cabinets, an under-the-sea scene painted on one wall, porthole windows peeping through to the kitchen. At the other end of the restaurant, large windows frame the sea. It feels relaxed rather than formal, with a gently buzzy atmosphere in the evenings as guests and locals drift in from the promenade.

Breakfast is a buffet spread of fruit, pastries, eggs cooked to order and local touches like Mallorcan cheeses and cured meats. You can eat inside or out on the terrace, watching fishing boats come and go — an easy, unhurried start to the day. Dinner focuses on Mediterranean cooking with a strong seafood bias. Expect grilled local fish, lobster, and seafood rice dishes, and well-executed classics such as slow-cooked lamb or beef cheek.

That said, Colònia de Sant Jordi has plenty of good restaurants within a short walk, so many guests choose to mix hotel dining with meals out. The real evening draw at Honucai is the rooftop bar, where cocktails are served alongside sea views at sunset - a popular spot for a pre-dinner drink before heading into town.

Activities

• Chill out at the hotel’s spa and wellness area, which has a sauna, Jacuzzi and massage treatments (book in advance; slots are limited). The hotel also runs morning yoga sessions on the rooftop 
• Hit the beach! The town beach is right outside, or you can walk a little further to Es Dolc (10-15 minutes), which is quieter and has safe swimming, or onwards still to secluded and unspoilt Es Carbo. The famous white sands of Es Trenc aren’t far away either - a 10-minute drive north
• Head out on a boat trip from the harbour - sunset cruises, sailing trips and excursions to the nearby island of Cabrera or the natural marine reserve near Es Trenc are all on offer, with plenty of snorkel stops along the way. You can charter boats from here, too
• Visit the working salt flats of Salinas d’Es Trenc to learn about traditional sea-salt harvesting
• Ses Salines village (10 minutes’ drive) has galleries, cafés and a very local feel - rent bikes to explore
• Explore Santanyí’s weekly market, galleries and boutiques for a livelier day out
