How can I find out if a hotel in Palma or elsewhere on the island allows pets of my dog's size before I book?

Sometimes you’ll want to stay close to Palma’s vibrant streets and historic charm, while other times a rural finca near Valldemossa or Deià might beckon, each offering different pet policies. Hotels and guesthouses here vary widely in what they accept, especially concerning the size and breed of dogs. The most reliable first step is to check the accommodation’s official website, focusing on sections labeled 'policies' or 'services' where pet restrictions are often detailed, including any size or weight limits.

When the details are vague or missing, reaching out directly by phone or email is the best approach. Speaking to the front desk or reservations team can clear up questions about whether your larger dog, or a specific breed, is welcome. Many places close to popular beaches such as Es Trenc or Cala Mondragó are quite pet-friendly, but they may still impose rules you need to know.

Booking platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb sometimes include filters for pet-friendly stays and may specify local rules, but these can change frequently. Cross-referencing with recent guest reviews, especially those mentioning pets, provides helpful clues about how lenient or strict accommodations are in practice. This is especially useful during busy island events like Sant Sebastià in Palma, when policies might tighten. With these steps, you can confidently plan a trip that includes your four-legged companion without surprises.
