The entrance to Divina is so inconspicuously integrated into the quaint, winding lanes of Ciutadella's Old Town, you might easily trundle past it accidentally. And stepping inside, the reception of the beautifully converted 17th-century palazzo is equally underplayed – a small, high-ceilinged room, which is the only common area of the hotel. Divina is basically all about its 8 wonderful suites. Each is unique, blending period touches with eclectic styling and 21st-century tech, and feels more like a mini apartment than a hotel room, with a separate living area and kitchen. Ultra-private and chic but homely, they are perfect for a romantic break.
Should you need anything, concierge service is consciously unobtrusive yet personal, via WhatsApp. And though there's no restaurant onsite, the city's burgeoning dining scene is just a short stroll away. If you're after an atmosphere of reclusive calm this is perfect: romantic and high-end, nestled deep in Ciutadella's charming medieval centre.

Best time to go
While the hotel is open all year, the best time to visit Ciutadella is either side of the summer when the weather is still temperate but the crowds thin. Peak months are June to August, especially for the Sant Joan Festival when the numbers really swell. Winter provides the most tranquil time to visit, with festive buzz adding to the atmospheric Old Town.

Our stay at Divina Suites was positively delightful. The hotel is beautiful to start, plus the service was impeccable. Laura and Lina were very friendly and helpful. The shower was great, the bed comfortable and the kitchenette super handy. We especially liked the breakfast basket each morning that could be adjusted to include specific items. Ciutadella is a perfect place to base your stay - lots of good restaurants (Bistrot es Rodol and Es Tast de na Silvia in particular), easy parking, and plenty to do. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Ciutadella and Divina Suites again.
Very well designed room. It had everything we could want including umbrellas -which we needed. The breakfast basket was fantastic. Lina was very helpful and friendly. Perfect central location.
Enjoyed 7 nights in a stunning suite, with a small court yard. Convenient, central location, with sounds of the church bells and swifts shrieking overhead.
Spacious, well equipped suite with kitchen facilities, including an orange squeezer to make fresh juice for breakfast. Delicious, artisan ingredients for breakfast delivered in a basket. Beautiful balance of ancient and contemporary design, with curved ceilings and modern art. Very comfortable bed.
Appreciated the exceptional service from Lima and Laura, the concierges: from arranging airport transfers, a birding and a boat tour; to coping with our late arrival due to flight delays. A source of local knowledge so we made the best of our first visit to Ciutadella.
Suggest use less plastic and introduce a bin for recycling; but otherwise very pleased with Divina Suites.
