Iberostar Waves Cristina in Illes Balears, open May–August.
Iberostar Waves Cristina stands as a modern all-inclusive resort built to capture the essence of Mediterranean coastal living on Palma's prestigious beachfront.
Originally developed in the early 2000s as part of Iberostar's expansion into Mallorca's premier destinations, the property has undergone continuous renovations to maintain its position as a leading venue for destination celebrations.
Positioned directly on Playa de Palma with 400+ meters of private beach access, the resort combines contemporary hospitality infrastructure with authentic Balearic Island character.
A wonderful hotel with plenty to do. An amazing variety of dinners and evening entertainment for the whole family. What really surprised me? The professionalism and kindness of the reception staff. Especially Ivan and Kevin, who took the initiative to start chatting to me in our native language. That was a lovely touch. What’s more, with so many guests, the staff immediately took an interest in sorting out every detail and addressed us personally (by name), which is simply lovely. The dedication of the housekeeping staff is also very important – the girls do a tremendous job and do it really well, leaving little touches for the children, such as crayons and colouring books, but also for the adults – fresh flowers in the room after it’s been cleaned. The work carried out by the whole team at such a large hotel – simply a masterpiece! Thank you for a wonderful holiday!
