Melia Calvia Beach

My husband and I have just come back from a 4‑day break here. It was our first time staying in Magaluf, as we usually go to Palma Nova for my birthday at the end of June. I can be quite particular about comfort and cleanliness, so we were a little unsure whether Magaluf might feel too young or rowdy. We couldn’t have been more impressed, it actually exceeded our usual favourite hotel. The hotel was spotless and the staff were consistently polite and helpful. There are plenty of lifts and ramps. The two pool areas (adult and family) were well kept with free pool towels and the water wasn't freezing. We spent our time at the adult pool, where there were always beds available, not always a umbrella. There are Bali beds you can pay for if you want a treat. Next door, Nikki Beach offers a livelier vibe with DJs and beach beds, you can hear the music from the adult pool, but we enjoyed it as it added to the atmosphere. We stayed B&B. Breakfast included the usual cooked options, plus meats, cheeses, pastries, croissants, toast, fresh juice and plenty of coffee. Sitting outside with the sea view was lovely. In the evenings we ate out and were really impressed with the bars and restaurants nearby. There’s lots of ambiance and even romantic spots if you want them. We liked Roots restaurant, great beach views and a DJ while you eat although service was slow due to a technical issue, but we still enjoyed it. If you want livelier nightlife, the main strip and BCM are close by. We didn’t find the area too expensive, we usually spend more in Palma Nova. The beach is lovely with clear blue water. I personally prefer Palma Nova’s beach, but this one was still good. Sunbeds are around €20 each with lockers. You’ll also see the usual sellers walking along the sand selling sangria, melon etc. Our room was comfortable with lots of storage. The bed was firmer than at home but still fine, and the pillows were extra soft, you could get lost in them, you defiantly need the two they give. The air‑con was strong, had three temperature settings, and was quiet, we didn't see any blankets for when the colder setting was on. Blackout curtains worked well, although my usual gripe (As I'm light sensitive) is the little gap at the sides that always lets light through no matter what you do, lol. Maid service is available daily. At a push, there were too many mirrors opposite the bed for my taste, but that’s just personal preference. We had a sea view and also overlooked the ponies next door (room 516). Nights were quiet, which we appreciated. Check‑in and check‑out were smooth, and check‑out at 12 was ideal. We were given a slot to shower before our journey home and a room to store our cases. The wristbands were brilliant, they have a chip that opens your door and lets you charge items to your room. Really convenient. We often walked out the back way straight onto the promenade with bars, but that route takes you across sand. If you prefer to avoid sand before meals, you can go out the front and cut down one of the paths instead. We liked having the option of music, ambience, or both. All ages were staying here too, which was nice to see. It was also my birthday while we were there. In most hotels I’ve stayed at, there’s usually a small complimentary gesture, and although there wasn’t anything here, it was known at reception because it was noticed and mentioned when they took my passport details. It’s not a complaint at all – just one of those little touches that can go a long way. We’re definitely going back and have recommended already.

Overall the hotel and facilities shared with Melia South Beach are great, pools, bars, location. Downside is the rooms at Calviá Beach compared to South Beach really small and dated, single beds not double and really small sofa bed all crammed in. Toilets would make gargling noises through the night and awful smells sent back up the system having to air freshen the bathroom daily The location is great away from the noise of Magaluf and direct beach access. The pool areas are always well maintained and cleaned, plenty of sun beds. Breakfast was plentiful variety of options never went without, lobby and reception areas well presented and staff were friendly and welcoming Only downside is the rooms

Our family has just returned from a wonderful six-night stay at Melia Calviá Beach, and I felt compelled to share how exceptional our experience was. From the moment we arrived, every interaction with a member of the team left us feeling genuinely cared for. There was a warmth and sincerity throughout the hotel that made a real difference to our holiday. Unfortunately, our flight was delayed, and we arrived after the restaurants had closed. Without us even having to ask, the Front Office team arranged for a selection of sandwiches, desserts, and fresh fruit to be delivered to our suite. It was such a thoughtful gesture after a long day of travelling and immediately set the tone for the rest of our stay. I regret that I cannot remember the name of the team member who looked after us, but her kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. A special mention must also go to the Kids Club team. Our son attended every day and was genuinely excited to return each morning, which says everything. Pablo, Sara, and Romi were fantastic with him, creating a fun, welcoming, and engaging environment that became one of the highlights of his holiday. Having booked a suite, we also had access to The Level, which added another dimension to our stay. The facilities, service, and attention from the team were excellent throughout, and we always felt valued and well looked after, special mention to Johanna, Alidia and Alicar. What impressed us most was the consistency. Every member of staff we encountered seemed invested in ensuring that our holiday was as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. That level of genuine hospitality is rare and is what truly sets this hotel apart. Thank you to everyone at Melia Calviá Beach under the leadership of Demitri and Marga for making our family holiday so memorable. We leave with wonderful memories and look forward to returning in the future.

This is a sad review for me to have to write. My family has been visiting this hotel since 1996 back when it was the Sol Antillas, and we returned this April for a deeply personal trip to honor the memory of my late father. We expected the high standards of the Meliá brand for a holiday that cost us well over £5,000, but the management failures we experienced completely took the shine off what should have been a special family tribute. The issues started immediately with a grueling five-hour wait to check in, which was exhausting for our 10-person party, especially my 76-year-old disabled mother and another elderly guest. When the rooms were finally ready, the hotel tried to isolate our 73-year-old guest on her own on the third floor while the rest of us were on the fifth. Worse followed when my mother was given her room wristband. She swiped into her assigned room only to find it was already occupied with a stranger's belongings inside. To give a vulnerable, disabled guest access to a room that isn't hers is a catastrophic security breach. When we reported it, the reception's only solution was to try and move my mother to the third floor, which her mobility issues just wouldn't allow. My wife and I had to swap and take the third-floor room ourselves just to sort out their mess. Because of these room blunders, we missed our window to sit together for dinner and were forced onto a cold terrace at three separate tables. The physical state of the hotel was in some ways disappointing. There was a major leak pouring through the ceiling in the main reception thoroughfare. Instead of cordoning it off safely, staff just chucked a green towel over it, creating a terrible slip hazard on the polished floor. We literally couldn’t let my mother walk through the main part of the hotel. On top of that, my sister had to live with a leaking toilet soaking her bathroom floor for almost the whole week because maintenance took days to fix it, and the bedside drawer in my own room completely fell apart when I tried to use it. We loved being back in Majorca, but the lack of care, poor maintenance, and shocking security failures from management completely let us down. For £5,000+, you expect basic safety and respect, neither of which our elderly family members received. We have reached out to the hotel and to booking.com but it appears that we are being ignored - very disappointing.

We've just got back from a trip to Palma - We stayed from the 14th to the 20th of May. We stayed at the Melia Calvia Beach which was right out the way of the hustle and bustle of the Magaluf Strip. Melia is usually a great chain so felt it was a safe bet. It's also paired with Melia South Beach so you can use their facilities too! When we arrived at 3:45pm, we were told our room was not ready (considering check in says 3pm) the guy behind the desk was flustered and simply shrugged his shoulders to say it's not his problem we will have to wait and come back in an hour - bare in mid we just jumped off the flight and wanted to get down to the pool and have a cocktail to start our holiday.. there was also another member of staff arguing with a customer about something which sounded similar! My other half asked if they can do anything for us whilst we wait, he did hand us a bar token to get a drink (if you don't ask clearly you don't get) We waited at the bar with our 'non alcoholic option free drink' then went back 45 mins later to be given iur wristbands - the door key is in the wristband which i actually loved as i always lose the room key! Our room was the 9th floor, really nice, clean, big bed (my other half is 6'5) so perfect. We had a sea view room and the balcony was lovely however not very private when we met our neighbour who literally looked to the left and BAM there they are.. only complaint about the room - bed was really hard, the shower was hot then cold, then hot and water pressure awful. I also felt it was cheeky there was a min bar with drinks and snacks which you had to pay for - tea's and coffees were free but no bottles of water. The house keeping also come in at 8am so if you want a lay in be sure to put your DND sign outside! The breakfast I can't complain about, it was all laid out beautifully - everything was fresh, there was a good old english fry up, pastries and cereal - literally everything - and coffee's etc so much to choose from. We only had bed and breakfast so i can't comment on the dinners but the menu looked pricey. The actual hotel facilities were great, everything clean, cosy areas to relax, the outside was maintained well too - beautiful plants and tree's. It is a little windier as it's the end of the strip so depending on weather pack something warmer. There's a main pool for kids and families and an adults pool which was a nice touch, both very cold in May as neither are heated - they do have an indoor heated pool near the spa and sauna. The sun loungers were great, no reservations which was good however they do fill up quickly! The adults pool is located directly next to Nikki Beach so their day sessions and the music is really loud - i loved it but if you want to relax it may not be for you at the adults pool. They also have cabana beds which were 60 euros with 25 back in drinks - they were always empty! Some waiters always came over to see if you needed drinks etc which was nice - they had the usual aqua zumba etc in the morning and some cocktails making classes in the afternoon which were a nice touch. The bar staff were friendly and seemed happy to be there. A good mixture of families, couples and a small amount of wedding parties. There's direct access to the beach too with your wristband which is great and a 2 minute walk from the supermarket if you wanted to take drinks back to the hotel (they didn't seem fussed on taking your own drinks round the pool) We didn't see much evening entertainment as we went out most evenings, i know they had live singers and it was a very relaxing atmosphere which seemed lovely for couples. Outside the South Beach Melia there is a bus stop, bus 104 takes you straight to Palma Centre and it takes about 30 minutes - there's also stops on route which one is Palma Nova beach which is literally 10 minutes, (please do the origin bottomless brunch is 10/10) the bus is contactless and was every 15 minutes - super cheap too and easy access in and out Magaluf which was convenient. Overall, I did expect a little more from Melia as the brand however it was a pleasant stay and i'd go again! Thanks for a great trip - Kerry & Tom.

Our second stay here, loved it the first time round & the second visit did not disappoint. From arriving, the Guest Experience Team, made us feel welcome, friendly, making it a relaxed & easy check in. We booked ‘The Level’, which we would recommend, from checking in & welcome drinks, so relaxing. The location of our room was brilliant, terrace facing the sea. ‘The Level Lounge’, endless soft drinks & snacks throughout the day. Evening Cocktail service 17:00-18:00 selection of premium snacks & alcoholic beverages & this we throughly enjoyed. The activities timetable was full, always something going on. Location of hotel was amazing. Short walk up the promenade, endless restaurants & bars. Breakfast we loved, choosing from a menu, lots of choice & the hours of serving was a bonus. Need to give a shoutout to the staff, so polite & friendly, always there if you needed anything, Johanna, Ailide, Victoria, Guille, Natalia, thank you to you all for making our stay more enjoyable. Last big thank you again to the Guest Experience Team We will return Darren & Toni

Visited as 3 friends wanting a good nightlife and a smart hotel just outside the hustle of central Magaluf. Connecting room allowed a workable 3-4 person stay. Hotel overall is wonderful but the rooms themselves are a little dated despite being clean and tidy. Last year we stayed at the adjacent Melia South Beach which overall is a nicer hotel with the same lovely communal spaces and food but with superb rooms and balconies in comparison, all new and modern. (You are able to use the swimming pool etc there which is shared and you have easy access to this if needed) Positives: Great food Great views over the sea/beach inc restaurant Good amount of sunbeds and pool space Well equipped room with hairdryer, safe, fridge, beach and bath towels etc Effective WiFi Excellent staff Handy key bracelet instead of a key card you lose immediately. Good kid facilities (we didn’t use them but have kids at home!) Negatives: Shower temp fluctuated quickly between boiling like warm with no way to prevent. AirCon did not not work at all despite asking them to fix Very dated decor and took more cramped than the south beach (we spent the same), hand rail falling off in bathroom for example. The stay was fine but given the choice again I’d use Melia South beach next door.

The hotel is great - the rooms are spacious and very clean, the food is tasty, the views are amazing, both from the balcony as well as the bed! We had a junior suite, so the bathtub with sea view was an extra benefit. The Level perks are definitely worth paying extra and the Level pool area is cozy and quiet. Last, but certainly not least, the staff exceeds all expectations - everyone is always smiling, patient and helpful! Special shout out to Neda (our experience wouldn't be the same without you!) as well as Johanna and Ailide. It was our second visit within a year and it surely wasn't the last!

What an absolutely wonderful hotel-everything felt brand new, fresh, and beautifully maintained, and the view was simply breathtaking. The beach is stunning, with soft white sand and crystal-clear water. We travelled in April and were lucky enough to have amazing weather; we even went swimming, despite the water being a little chilly. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, with every delicious option you could imagine. Freshly pressed juice and real honey at The Level made it feel extra special. The Level itself was such a cozy and inviting space-we truly enjoyed every breakfast, along with the delicious tapas and snacks throughout the day. It was also great to see healthy options like nuts available. The staff were always friendly and genuinely did their very best to make our stay perfect. Another big plus was the Rituals shampoo, conditioner, and soap in the room, along with how impeccably clean everything always was. Our room even had a sea view from the shower, which made the experience feel even more unique. This was our first time staying at a Melia hotel, and it certainly won't be our last-we will definitely be coming back.

We travelled to the Meliá Calviá Beach over the Easter holidays as a family of four, and from the moment we arrived, the experience set a positive tone for our stay. Check-in at The Level reception was seamless, thanks to Neda, who was exceptional. She immediately recognised that we were a little overwhelmed—our son, who is autistic, was dysregulated after the long journey and needed space to decompress and burn off some energy. I felt quite anxious about the situation and was concerned about disrupting the calm atmosphere, but Neda handled everything with genuine warmth, understanding, and professionalism. She reassured us straight away, putting us completely at ease, and approached the situation with kindness rather than judgment. Her empathy made a huge difference in that moment, turning what could have been a stressful arrival into a positive and reassuring experience. She went out of her way to help us settle in quickly and comfortably, which we really appreciated after a long day of travel. That level of care and attentiveness is something that truly stands out, and it set the tone for the rest of our holiday. The hotel itself is beautiful, we had a level junior suite with a sea view and it was immaculate! It was cleaned every day by some of the friendliest housekeeping staff I have ever encountered. Breakfast at the level was top class and again, very kind hearted, warm staff were on hand to ensure we had a good experience. This is our third stay - we have previously stayed at the South Beach but used the level facilities each time. The staff this time round really made our holiday, we felt very welcome and nothing was too much for them. We will be back!

Went there for a three day trip, arrived late after a flight delay but Marciel welcomed us with the best attitude as if he was waiting for us to arrive, he greeted us, gave us a room upgrade to a beautiful room on the top floor with amazing views. And he kept checking on us during our stay making sure everything was great. Location is good, near Magaluf beach and the atmosphere is very nice !

Fabulous hidden gem at the edge of Magaluf right on the beach . We stay at lots of Meliá hotels & always book the level . Despite this hotel not offering wine or beer during the day the 5pm happy hour with wine, beer & spirits & the best tapas we have had in any Meliá hotel made up for it! The level receptionist Neda was lovely, informative & welcoming . All the staff from cleaning , reception, bar & level were friendly & attentive . Always courteous with a smile on there face . Our corner room had the most magnificent views . We will definitely return & hope to have the same room & experience. Well done to the management & all the staff at Meliá Calviá beach .
