Swimming Pools in Palma & Mallorca – The Ultimate Guide

When you think of Mallorca, you probably picture turquoise coves and sandy beaches — and yes, the island is a paradise for sea swimmers. But if you’re looking to train in clean lanes, escape jellyfish, cool off without the crowds, or simply splash with the kids in a more relaxed setting, Mallorca has plenty of non-beach options to choose from.
This guide covers it all:
🏨 Hotel pools with day passes
👙 Beach clubs with sea-view infinity pools
🏊♂️ Public outdoor and indoor pools across the island
💧 Wellness centers and swim schools for all ages
☀️ Seasonal vs. year-round options
…plus opening times, pricing, and insider tips.
Let’s dive in.
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.
