From family-friendly hotel pools and stylish beach clubs to municipal outdoor pools and indoor wellness centers open year-round, the island’s aquatic scene is surprisingly diverse. Whether you’re a visitor searching for a swim near your Airbnb, a local looking for an affordable lap lane, or a parent needing a place where your kids can play safely, there’s something here for you — especially in and around Palma, where most of the island’s best facilities are located.
