Universal Hotel Romantica
)
Saga Hosted Hotels
Situated on Majorca’s low-key south coast, the Universal Hotel Romantica is a traditional Spanish retreat within footsteps of the sea. It’s an ideal setting for lovers of peace and quiet, with salt marshes just inland, creating opportunities for birdwatching and nature walks. After enjoying a relaxing day by the pool or on the beachside deck, you can walk into the small local town of Colonia de San Jordi – it’s fronted by a pretty harbour complete with lighthouse and a few cafés and bars. Although the hotel is currently three-star, an extensive four-star refurbishment is due to get underway in winter 2024.

Local Area
Colonia de Sant Jordi is located close to the southernmost tip of Majorca, just a 45-minute drive southeast of Palma de Mallorca Airport. It’s a typical Spanish fishing village that’s grown to accommodate visitors but has largely maintained its seaside charm, especially around the harbour and lighthouse. Beaches, such as Platja Estanys and Es Trenc, are renowned for their calm and clear shallow waters as well as soft sand dunes backed by shrubs and coastal pines. Head inland and you’ll find the Salobrar de Campos wetland reserve with saline lakes and salt flats fringed with birds – great for nature walks and wildlife spotting.
Customers that travelled to the Universal Romantica will be delighted to hear that we will feature the hotel again from 2025, and that it will be upgraded to a four-star hotel. Colonia itself has always been rated highly by our customers and has great opportunities for special interest holidays – particularly birdwatching and walking – that we will launch a little later in the year. The Es Trenc beach must be one of the finest in Spain, and for walkers and joggers, like myself, it offers endless miles of beautiful coastal scenery to explore, with a nature reserve inland. There's an attractive marina, and with Palma only 40 minutes away by bus, Colonia is quite convenient for exploring the island's impressive capital.
