Are you familiar with the best four-star hotels in Mallorca? The classification of hotels by stars is an easily recognisable system that helps to improve the experience of the clients who stay in them.  

This international system, now in common use all around the world, was created in 1958 by Mobil Corporation, an American oil company that created the Mobil Travel Guide with the aim of promoting road travel in the USA. 

Mobil Travel Guide eventually changed its name to Forbes Travel Guide, and expanded worldwide, spreading its simple star rating system for hotels.

What is the purpose of the hotel star rating system?

The star rating system provides general criteria for hotels, their facilities, and their services. 

The system ranges from 1 star to the prestigious 5-star rating, which, in theory, only the best hotels receive.

The star system is a determining factor when booking a hotel, but it isn't the only criterion to be considered. Hotel customers also take into account the type of establishment (family hotels, boutique hotels, adult-only hotels, etc.), as well as their location, price and other factors.

What are four-star hotels like?

Four-star hotels are at the higher end of this system, and, even though they haven't been awarded five stars, they still have superior and even exclusive services at a relatively affordable price. 

In general, hotels with this classification offer their clients an excellent experience. The rooms are usually large and luxurious, well decorated, with quality furnishings and some extras such as mini-bars and amenities (shampoo, gel, etc.).

They also tend to invest a lot in technology and the customers are very well looked after, with 24-hour access, customer service, or reception. 

They also offer some excellent additional amenities. They usually have their own restaurant and provide very good gastronomic facilities and experiences.

Why choose VIVA’s four-star hotels?


VIVA hotels have four-star or superior four-star ratings.

They’re designed to offer clients a quality stay, with high level features and services, to provide them with a unique experience during their holidays in Mallorca.

In addition to their excellent location, very close to the beach, in natural areas of great beauty and in uncrowded tourist areas on the island, VIVA four-star hotels stand out for their diversity and suitability for all types of public. 

We believe that quality accommodation shouldn’t, in any way, be incompatible with any type of traveller.

If our VIVA Sunrise, VIVA Cala Mesquida Resort & Spa, VIVA Eden Lago and VIVA Blue & Spa hotels already offer you a fantastic four-star stay, then at VIVA Cala Mesquida Suites and Spa Adults Only +16 and VIVA Golf Adults Only +18 we go even further.
