The rooftop pool of Hotel Honucai at dusk, looking out over the marina of Colònia de Sant Jordi full of moored boats, the pink and lilac sky reflected on the still water

Colònia de Sant Jordi · on the old port

Call it magic.

A sea-facing hotel on the harbour the fishing boats still come home to — with rooms over the water, a pool on the roof, and the long beaches of the south a walk away.

01The port

A hotel that grew up facing the sea.

Colònia de Sant Jordi began as a fishing village on the south tip of Mallorca, and the port is still its heart: boats out at first light, back by the afternoon, the same water turning gold then pink at the end of the day.

Honucai sits right on it. Most rooms look straight onto the marina and the open sea behind it; the rest open onto the quiet streets a few steps back. It was made small on purpose — a sea-view hotel for adults, run by people who have looked after this stretch of coast for years.

The name is the giveaway. Honu is the green turtle that feeds in these shallows; you will find it cut into the glass on the roof. It is the kind of place you come back to, the way the turtles do.

02The rooftop

The whole port, from a pool in the sky.

On the roof, the pool runs to an edge that meets the sea, and the bar — they call it The Top — pours until the harbour lights come on. It is the best seat in town for the hour the water turns: boats below, the headland across the bay, the sky doing its thing.

Down at street level there is a second, smaller plunge pool and a sun terrace in the shade — the quiet one, for the middle of the day.

  • Rooftop infinity pool over the marina
  • The Top — sky bar, cocktails & world plates
  • A shaded plunge pool below

03Rooms

Wake up over the water.

Light, cool rooms in white, oak and sea-blue — most with a private balcony over the port. You sleep with the window open and the boats below, and the morning comes in off the sea.

Sea-view, with a balcony

A balcony straight over the harbour, blue railings, two chairs and the whole marina laid out in front of you. The room people ask for by name.

  • Private balcony
  • Front sea view
  • Adults only

The double, in blue & coral

Cool white walls, a headboard in sea-blue and coral, a fan turning slowly overhead. A calm room to come back to after the beach, with the salt still on you.

  • Balcony or terrace
  • Air conditioning
  • Private bathroom
A softer green-toned Honucai room with light drapes drawn against the afternoon, an upholstered headboard and a quiet corner to sit

The quiet room

A little set back from the front, in soft greens, for light sleepers and long siestas. The sea is a minute away on foot, and the street is silent after dark.

  • Lateral or street side
  • Extra quiet
  • Private bathroom

04The table

Salicornia — the fish came in this morning.

The ground-floor restaurant is named after the salicornia that grows in the salt flats next door — a green of the south, like sea-beans. The kitchen cooks the island plainly: the day's fish off the boats, rice with what the sea gave up, a short list that changes with the catch.

Breakfast is laid in the light by the window; dinner runs late and easy. And two floors up, The Top keeps pouring while the port goes dark.

06The shore

Es Trenc and the wild south, on the doorstep.

This is the gentlest corner of Mallorca. From the door it is a short walk along the sand to Es Dolç and Es Carbó, and a few minutes more to Es Trenc — kilometres of pale beach and clear shallow water, backed by the salt flats and the pines.

Boats leave the port for the island of Cabrera and its marine reserve; the old towns and markets of the Migjorn are an easy drive. You can do all of it, or none of it, and the harbour is always there when you get back.
