Smy Portocolom - Renovated 2026

The hotel suits a diving break built around easy days rather than elaborate ceremony: a quiet setting in Portocolom, sea views, balconies and a choice of places to eat without having to turn the evening into an expedition. The rooms and facilities are being completely renovated for 2026, so the practical appeal is straightforward — somewhere comfortable to return to, with the harbour close by and the coast at hand.

You can keep things as active or as lazy as the day allows. There are pools, a beach, a fitness centre and a spa, while the village centre is a five-minute walk away. The hotel's online information is available in English, as well as German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese; the language list belongs to the hotel's web presence rather than confirming which languages the team speaks at reception.

Portocolom is a quiet fishing village on Mallorca's east coast, and the hotel sits beside its marina rather than in the middle of a busy resort strip. The harbour is just 50 metres away, giving you an easy waterside walk when you want to stretch your legs without planning an outing.

The centre of Portocolom is around a five-minute walk away, with restaurants close enough to make an evening meal elsewhere perfectly realistic. Ca'n Tomeu is about 200 metres away on foot, Restaurante ses Portadores around 250 metres, and Thai Colom roughly 450 metres. Cala Marçal Beach is about 1 km away, while the hotel also has direct access to a white-sand beach with sun loungers and parasols.

Palma de Mallorca Airport is the arrival point for the island. The hotel is around 50 minutes away by car, and an airport shuttle is available.

Every room has a balcony, satellite television and a spacious bathroom, with sea views available in selected categories. For two people, the side-sea-view and sea-view options make the most sense if you want the coast to remain part of the room rather than something you only see on the way to breakfast. The Deluxe rooms use twin beds, which can be useful when two divers are sharing without wishing to negotiate a king-size mattress after a long day.

The suites are the more practical choice when you need extra room or are travelling as a small family. Several suite categories sleep up to three people, and sea-view versions are available. The room cards below the description give the exact dimensions, occupancy and bed arrangement; the useful distinction here is whether you want a compact double, a solo room, or space to spread out properly.

Air conditioning and heating are available throughout the hotel, which matters when you come back warm, salty and ready to stop moving. Daily housekeeping keeps the routine simple, while the renovation of the rooms and facilities for 2026 should make the accommodation a particularly relevant part of the choice rather than a mere place to leave your bag.

There are three restaurants, so you are not tied to one dining room every evening. Imperial handles breakfast, lunch and dinner as an international buffet with show cooking, giving you the broadest choice when you want to eat efficiently and get on with the day. Breakfast is served as a buffet with continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and American options.

Del Emperador is the evening restaurant for an international menu that also brings in local dishes. Solaz Bar & Restaurant works on the terrace for lunch and dinner, with lighter meals and views — useful when a full formal meal feels like overkill after diving.

Two bars cover different moods. Nautilus Lobby Bar serves cocktails, drinks and snacks throughout the day, while Bar & Co is directly on the beach and also focuses on cocktails. The poolside bar offers snacks as well, so a late return does not automatically mean sitting down to a full meal in wet hair and a towel.

Two outdoor freshwater pools give you an easy alternative to the sea, with sun loungers and umbrellas for the parts of the day when horizontal is the only sensible plan. Direct access to the white-sand beach adds another option, and the garden, terraces and sun terrace provide places to sit without having to leave the grounds.

Libera Spa & Wellness offers massages, facial treatments, sauna and jacuzzi sessions. The wider wellness offer includes a fitness centre, fitness classes, yoga classes, body treatments, manicures and pedicures. Nothing here requires a heroic level of enthusiasm: you can book a treatment, find a lounger and allow the muscles to remember that they belong to you.

When you want more movement, the hotel offers tennis, aerobics, cycling, bike tours, walking tours, cooking classes, themed dinner nights and live music or performances. Bicycle rental is available, and horse riding, hiking, golf and snorkelling extend the list beyond the hotel itself. The village and nearby beaches also make a simple walk a perfectly respectable activity.

Reception is open around the clock, and check-out runs until noon. You need photo identification and a payment card when you arrive, and cash is not accepted at the hotel. Let the property know your expected arrival time in advance, particularly if your flight lands late or your transfer has its own ideas about punctuality.

An airport shuttle is available, and car hire can be arranged. Luggage storage, a concierge service, a tour desk, an on-site cash machine and free Wi-Fi throughout the property are useful practical details rather than decorative extras. The hotel also has a lift and facilities adapted for guests with reduced mobility, including wheelchair access, accessible toilets, grab rails and lowered bathroom sinks.

Children of all ages are welcome, although under-18s can check in only with a parent or official guardian. Cots are available subject to the selected accommodation and availability, while extra beds are not available. Pets under 10 kg are accepted, with one pet per apartment and an additional charge. Pool towels are available for an additional charge, and drinks are not included when half-board or full-board arrangements are chosen. A government tourist tax is requested on arrival.
