Do hotels in Palma and other towns provide pool towels, or should I pack my own for trips around the island?

Most hotels across Palma, Sóller, and towns along the Ma-19 coastline usually supply pool towels for guests, often included as part of the stay. Upon arrival, you'll typically find a towel station near the pool area or at the reception desk where you can pick one up. This convenience means you don’t have to worry about lugging heavy towels in your suitcase, especially if you plan on exploring both beaches like Es Trenc and hotel pools alike.

However, some smaller boutique hotels or rural fincas in the Tramuntana may not offer towels poolside or might charge a small rental fee, so it’s wise to check the hotel’s website or ask in advance. Bringing your own lightweight towel is a smart choice if you favour a particular fabric or want something versatile for the beach, hiking the Serra de Tramuntana, or hopping on the historic Sóller railway. Having a personal towel also comes in handy during local festivals such as Sant Sebastià, when you might want to cool off in a pool or the sea without relying on hotel amenities.
