Barcelo Albatros

A rustic path leads down from the snack bar in the landscaped pool area, past ornamental pools and an outdoor hot tub. To one side, a small gym with full-length windows offers bay views.

A subterranean spa area with vaulted stone ceiling offers a small indoor pool, separate hot tub and steam room. Porthole-style windows look out over the bay, and ambient lighting produces a soothing atmosphere.

Facials, massage and manicure treatments, including specials such as Chocolate Therapy and Paraffin Mask Facial are offered in the salon.

The main Piano Bar leads onto a terrace shaded by a large pergola with a white balustraded balcony looking onto the bay. Live music and dancing takes place in the bar five days a week, including traditional Mallorcan dances.

The eight-storey Barceló Albatros has 119 air-conditioned guestrooms decorated in a modern style with bright pastel colours, dark wood headboards, and floral prints on the walls. Amenities include minibars, 22-inch televisions with satellite channels, and wireless Internet access (surcharge). Balconies are furnished and most have side-sea views. Tiled bathrooms have bathtubs with hand-held showers, hairdryers, and complimentary toiletries.
