Creative soul of Palma: art, design and local talent just steps from Es Princep
Today we’d like to take you on a journey through the most creative side of Palma, the one shaped by design, talent and plenty of artistic flair — all just a few steps from Es Princep. From our hotel, located in the heart of the Baluard del Princep, we invite you to discover a different side of the city: one that speaks through contemporary art, design rooted in Mallorcan tradition and local talent that sets trends without losing the essence of the island.
An inspiring art and design route
Just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, you’ll find a sensory experience worth exploring. Our route begins at Kewenig Gallery, located inside the historic Oratory of Sant Feliu. This gallery blends sacred architecture with contemporary works by both international and local artists. The space itself is breathtaking, and its carefully curated exhibitions are well worth a slow visit.
Next, head to Gerhardt Braun Gallery, a reference point for European contemporary art. Housed in a striking modernist building in Palma’s Old Town, this gallery features bold, dynamic exhibitions that include painting, sculpture, photography, and video art. A must-stop for anyone looking for inspiration.
Mallorcan lifestyle with a Nordic soul
Just around the corner, Rialto Living offers a unique lifestyle store concept, where art, fashion, interior design, and gourmet experiences come together. Located in a former cinema, this elegant space showcases works by local artists alongside Mediterranean-inspired home décor. Don’t miss the chance to sip a coffee while browsing art books or discovering new design brands.
Characterful craftsmanship: creativity that endures
Palma is also home to artisans who reinterpret tradition through a modern lens. One such example is Suivi, where designer Catalina Socías breathes new life into Mallorcan textiles with contemporary, sustainable, and personality-rich creations.
If you’re in search of a unique piece that captures the spirit of the island, make your way to Obshops, a concept store featuring creations by emerging designers and artists from the Balearic Islands. And for lovers of functional design, Mimbreria Vidal, founded in 1955, offers authentic wickerwork and handcrafted objects that combine beauty with tradition.
Palma, a constantly evolving canvas
Palma’s artistic and creative scene continues to grow. Spaces like Galería Fermay and Addaya Centre d’Art Contemporani (in Alaró, just 30 minutes from the hotel) expand the island’s vibrant network of talent — rooted in the local culture yet boldly looking towards the future.
From Es Princep, our team can help you organise a tailor-made cultural route, private gallery tours or workshops with local artists. Because we believe that true luxury lies in discovering the authentic — the hidden treasures that don’t appear in travel guides but remain in your memory.
