PALMA GOLDEN MILE
If you’d like to take the opportunity of a stroll through the centre of Palma to do some shopping, you’re in luck. The best and most exclusive luxury and fashion brands worldwide are concentrated in the space of a few metres known as “the Palma Golden Mile”.

Between the Paseo del Borne and Avenida Jaume III, in an area bustling with activity and many hotels, is where you’ll find what is known as the Golden Mile in Palma, where lovers of shopping and luxury brands can discover the most exquisite shops, which make for a very entertaining shopping tour.

Carolina Herrera, Hugo Boss and Louis Vuitton are just some of the most exclusive brands that line the boulevard, making Palma one of the neuralgic points for shopping worldwide.

Leather is another of the products that has always been typical of Mallorcan crafts. On Calle Unión, we come across the company Carmina, whose craftsmen/women have been making leather shoes since 1866 and whose shoes are sent all over the world, daily.

To finish our tour around the area you can’t miss out on a visit to the espadrille shop La Concepció, where you’ll find a wide variety of shoes and bags, all made with typical Mallorcan materials, such as esparto grass or rafia.

THE BEST BEACHES IN MALLORCA

Located in the southeastern area of the island, approximately six kilometres from the village of Santanyí we come across Caló d’es Moro, a beautiful little cove with crystal clear water, which is the perfect choice for a quick swim.

Another option is Cala Llombards, a lovely cove with white sand which lies between cliffs and which boasts one of the most emblematic, natural monuments in Santanyí and the whole island, very close by, “Es Pontàs”.

For any of these options we can offer you a transfer from our Petit Palais and a gourmet picnic so that you can enjoy the whole experience.

VISIT THE MARKETS OF MALLORCA
The authentic tradition in Mallorca is experienced in the markets of the different municipalities on the island. Artisans and farmers exhibit their zero-mile products for all those visitors who love local products and proximity trade.

In order to enjoy the most native and traditional products of the island, we have prepared a selection for you to enjoy the true essence of market trading in Mallorca.

In Campos, on Thursday and Saturday mornings, you can visit the traditional market held on the same street as our Petit Palais , where you’ll find lots of food products, plants and flowers, clothes, accessories and gifts.

In Palma, we suggest a visit to the Mercat de l’Olivar and the Mercat de Santa Catalina markets – both are bustling meeting points for residents and tourists alike and an experience you can’t miss.

At both markets you’ll find fresh island produce brought directly from the “Lonja” fish market in Palma, which is what we use at our restaurants to ensure maximum quality: “Cap Roig” (red scorpion), “Gallo de San Pedro” (John Dory), “Llampuga” (mahi-mahi)…..

In the municipalities of Santa Maria, Andratx and Sineu you can find their open-air market and organic products from the Mallorcan countryside such as fruit and vegetables. You can also buy authentic local products, including wine, food products – oil, cheese, olives – and hand-woven Mallorcan clothes or fabrics.

ART AND HISTORY IN PALMA
Culture lovers meet at Es Baluard – Palma’s Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – located in the city centre and built inside a Renaissance wall. Inside, you can admire a collection of 20th and 21st century art and from its terraces you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and the bay.

Another monument we recommend and which forms part of the culture of the city of Palma is Bellver Castle, conceived as a royal residence and which, in 1717, became a military prison for numerous French soldiers and officers. Located in the middle of a forest, it is currently the City History Museum and offers wonderful views of the bay of Palma.

MALLORCAN CULTURE
Mallorca exudes art and there are many artists and craftsmen who have been inspired by the island.

We have prepared two options for discovering art on the island: The first is a historical tour of Santanyí followed by a visit to the studio of the Mallorcan painter Llorenç Garrit, who will explain the evolution of his art, while delighting the audience with a tasty organic wine and immersing them in his latest work eNclaveDecolor, inside his workshop.

Another proposed experience is to visit the Galería Major art gallery, which was founded in Pollença in 1990 and which promotes contemporary art, as well as national and international, well known and upcoming artists.

Amongst others, you’ll find pieces by José Manuel Broto, Susana Solano and Miguel Angel Campano, all holders of National Plastic Arts Prizes. With an annual program of about seven exhibitions, the gallery offers a platform for artists to present their most recent works of art.

TENNIS & PADDLE
Tennis and paddle fans will be able to combine their favourite sport with their time relaxing at Sa Creu Nova. The Campos Tennis Paddle Club installations are located just 3 minutes by car from our Petit Palais.

A more than attractive option to make your stay with us as complete as possible. Don’t hesitate to contact us to make your court reservation or for your private lessons.

VISIT TO AUBOCASSA OLIVE OIL
This experience will immerse us in the history, culture and production of the distinctive Mallorcan olive oil.

We begin this oleoexperience at the Aubocassa to learn about the history of its Extra Virgin Olive Oils, where we will walk through the olive groves to discover the secrets of the manufacturing process in the oil mill, where the oil is made with the help of state-of-the-art technology.

The visit culminates at the select Aubocassa Olive Oil and Wine Bar, where the gold liquid produced by the property is tasted.

VISIT TO ES FANGAR WINE CELLAR
In order to get to know the Mallorcan wine-making scene, we suggest a visit to the cellar ‘Es Fangar’ in Felanitx. Considered one of the most modern in the world, it’s located in one of the most beautiful settings on the island and produces Mediterranean wine that stands out because of its quality, personality and elegance.

The quality of the grape and the biological treatment of the wines by the ‘Es Fangar’ cellar, that belongs to the Pla i Llevant Protected Designation of Origin, is what sets it apart and gives it such huge value.

For this experience, we propose two options:

• The first (about 3 hours long) includes a visit to the estate where you’ll discover the vineyards and how this project was created, but you’ll also take a tour of the cellar and do some wine-tasting with pairing.
• The second one (about 2 hours long) is shorter and includes the tour of the cellar and wine-tasting with pairing.

For either of these options we can offer a transfer from our Petit Palais so that you can enjoy a magnificent experience in full.

ART
Jose Taltavull and Xim Izquierdo danced “break dance” when they were 10 and 12 years old. After living abroad for a while, the artists met again on their native island to dress Calatrava with 87 black and white photographs.

“As Above So Below” is a tribute to their land, our land and, of course, to the sea. “The Sea seems to have no limits, neither above nor below the horizon. Only the Sky is bigger than the Sea”, explains Taltavull.

Xim immortalizes the Mallorca we dive and Jose the one we see on the surface while we sail. The horizon is the line that divides the work of both artists, who mix depth and simplicity in a collection removed from the traditional “hotel art”, created especially for Calatrava.

JAUME ROIG
Between the raw and the pure to find an essence. Jaume Roig’s ceramics fill our space. From the masterpiece in our Patio to the small pieces over our marble tables and the stunning sculpture by our library.

Jaume defines his work as “synthesized nature”, a research of abstract spaces and fragments of natural elements, seeking to minimize forms. The Mallorcan artist finds inspiration through the stones, rustic landscapes and the neutral color scale you find in Southern Mallorca, where he lives.

JORDI ALCARAZ
One of the leading artists in the national scene. Painter and sculptor. Jordi Alcaraz’s artistic language is defined by its visual provocation. Alcaraz’s most recurrent proposal is the questioning of the specific nature of painting in confrontation or in symbiosis with the very identity of sculpture.

Black and white and the interrelation of transparencies and holes prevail in his work. This beautiful sculpture awaits you on your arrival. Inspired by the branches of a kiwi fruit tree from a farm in Sant Cebrià de Vellalta, it shows Jordi Alcaraz’s free artistic language.

ESTEFANIA POMAR

On more than 300 ha of land and around two distinctive sites, the fincas of Santa Ponsa and Torre Vella, Fontenille Menorca, offer everything you can expect from one of the most beautiful and secret islands of the Balearic Islands, Menorca : preserved fauna and flora, endemic cultures, exceptional architectural heritage, white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters.

Fontenille Menorca is a unique concept on the island : a new double-headed eagle, two experiences in two separate fincas which offer, thanks to the many interactions between both hotels and their proximity, a large pallet of opportunities for guests staying in both hotels.

Both properties have their own specificities whether its the architecture, style or the landscape they were build on. Consequently, you will live very different experiences in both hotels : you can make the most of both hotels they can complement one another, offering visitors one of the richest and most relaxing experiences on the island of Menorca.

Santa Ponsa Finca
Santa Posa is a unique property on Menorca : rebuilt mid-19th century, the aristocratic house overlooks 8 ha of luxurious gardens and bleachers : plenty of palm trees, giant fig trees, exotic flowers, ponds, orangeries…

With an elaborate watering system and impressive cisterns, Santa Ponsa’s gardens resemble those of the Arabian Nights. Architecturally, although Menorcan elements prevail, Spanish and Moor influences are everywhere : domes, masharbiyya, miniature ziggurat are reminicent of the splendour of what was once a Princely House.

ROOMS
The hotel offers 21 rooms and suites which are located in the main house, former barns and separate buildings in the gardens. The decoration of the house reflects the owner’s penchant for travel at the time : colonial architecture, rattan furniture and a beautiful conservatory.

WELLNESS AND SPA 
Santa Ponsa is totally dedicated to wellness and finding a healthy balance. Every morning, fresh fruit is picked and you’ll enjoy freshly squeezed juice.

The spa, slow-food cuisine, gardens, walks, outdoors sports, wildlife , the outside swimming pool in the historic cistern : all the elements are gathered for you to appreciate the natural and historical heritage of Menorca.

Our amazing SPA (opening in 2020) is located in the inside of the majestic 18th century cisterns : covered lap pool, aquatic trail, hammam, sauna, Nordic baths, massage rooms : everything focuses on energy regenerating.

Organic products are used, most of which come from our own production, such as our essential oils which are extracted from our very own aromatic plants. Our Spa clients will have access to a private terrace on the top of the cistern, where they can relax and enjoy the scenic views.

Torre Vella Finca
Torre Vella gets its name from an old fortified tour. It is most likely one of the best examples of a classic Menorcan finca : the entire building is listed.  The big building with white walls is arranged around a courtyard. Its farm building stretches out over 200ha, right up to the sea.

Nested at the bottom of the valley, surrounded by olive trees, Torre Vella was thought out as a simple bohemian retreat : lunch under the green oaks, outside massage tables, drinks and candlelight dinners at the top of the cliffs overlooking the sea.

The décor is extremely sleek : white vails, driftwood, local stone, weavings : a genuinely bohemian chic spirit.

ROOMS
The hotel offers 17 rooms and suites located in the main finca, former barns and outbuildings. The rooms are very spacious, most of them have large terraces and some even private pools.

RESTAURANT
The Torre Vella restaurant is only open to the guests of both our hotels. The dishes are mainly vegetarian and healthy. The smaller menu with salads and planchas changes everyday according to the supplies.

WELLNESS AND SPA
Torre Vella is the perfect retreat for nature lovers : amongst several hectars of olive trees and medicinal plants, it is the ideal place to unwind.

A complete fitness program with an outside training circuit will lead you to the cliffs and yoga platforms overlooking the sea. Not far from the pool, beneath the hundred-year-old green oaks, a massage will help you recover from your session.

Our exceptional SPA is located in Santa Ponsa and is open to non hotel clients. Our amazing Spa is located in the inside of the majestic 18th century cisterns : covered lap pool, aquatic trail, hammam, sauna, Nordic baths, massage rooms, all focusing on energy regenerating.

Organic products are used, most of which come from our own production, such as our essential oils which are extracted from our very own aromatic plants. A private terrace on the top of the cistern is dedicated to our Spa Clients, where they can relax and enjoy the scenic views.

AGRICULTURE
20ha of vines, 20 ha of aromatic plants (Rosemary, Curry Plant), hundreds of orange, lemon, pomegranate and olive trees, an organic permaculture vegetable garden, a vinification cellar, an essential oils distillery, an oil mill, a honey house : farming in Fontenille Menorca is an undeniable fact of everyday life and has been employing twenty agricultural workers and gardeners since 3 years.

To us, agrotourism isn’t a marketing strategy, it’s a way of life. We place agriculture, naturalness, traceability, connection to mother earth at the centre of our concerns – as we already do at the Domaine de Fontenille, in Provence and soon in the west of Paris.

The knowledge of plant life and flowering cycles, pressing grapes, making our own wine and juice, the use of own oil in all our restaurants: that’s what the farming Island of Menorca is made of. Reconnect with time, mother earth and your inner self.

THE HISTORY
The Castell’s first official mention in 1450 describes five separate properties. When Don Gabriel Claret owned the estate in the late 1800’s, he decided to unite all these properties into one estate – Castell Son Claret – which remains at its current size of 132 ha. 100 years later, stables and smaller buildings were added; the Castell’s current blue print, as well as its iconic façade, was then established. After the affectionate restoration and reconstruction by its owners Christine and Klaus-Michael Kühne, the Castell was opened as a luxury hotel in May 2013.

ROOMS & SUITES
The Castell Son Claret estate unites seven historic buildings with the 19th century manor house at its heart. All 19 suites and 22 rooms of our country resort share a welcoming atmosphere of serenity, generosity and abundant personal space.

Due to the original blueprint, all 43 suites and rooms differ in size and layout – a testament to their particular charm. They are separated into nine categories and feature superb views of the estate, the landscaped gardens, the mountains or the hotel patio.

The main castle building features 22 guest rooms, while a further 19 rooms are located in the former stables, grouped around a Moorish fountain reminiscent of a small village.

GARDEN SUITE

Mallorca has a population density of 240.45 inhabitants / km². In the past, due to its calm atmosphere, it was also known as La isla de la calma, but now it is a very important tourist destination, both nationally and internationally.

Mallorca is located geographically in the central area of ​​the Mediterranean Sea, which translates into the blessing of a pleasant climate with more than 2,700 hours of sunshine per year. With an average temperature of around 26 ° C between May and September, they rarely fall below 13 ° C in early spring.

BEACHES
Without any doubt one of the pillars of the splendor of Mallorca are its beautiful beaches and “calas”. No tourist leaves the island without enjoying the splendor and calm of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Serra de Tramuntana, that stretches all along the northwest, forms impressive cliffs and rocky coves that contrast with the sandy beaches of the rest of the coast. The “Pla” is the fertile central plain. To the west of this plain and in the center of the bay of Palma is the capital, Palma.

The main mountains are: Puig Major (1445 m), Masanella (1364 m), Puig Tomir (1102 m), Puig de l’Ofre (1090 m), Puig del Teix (1064 m), Puig de Galatzó (1027 m).

It is also worth mentioning the “escaldums or guisat of piles”, the Mallorcan soups, the “Tumbet”, with or without “esclatasang” (the most tasty variety of the rovellón mushroom found in the Iberian peninsula), and stuffed aubergines.

There are several ways to prepare rice, the most typical is the so-called “Arròs brut”, which consists of a rice soup with mushrooms, snails, pork, rabbit and poultry and vegetables, although the “Arroç sec” is also very traditional, similar to paella.

The “pa amb oli”, typical of some dinners or as a simple accompaniment to other meals, is one of the most traditional dishes on the island. The sausages are also one of the main elements of its cuisine; sobrasada, llonganissa, butifarrón, camaiot and blanquet among others.

PASTRIES
The most famous pastry is the Ensaimada that is usually taken at breakfast, but can also be filled with cream, “Cabello de angel”, chocolate or with sobrasada pieces and candied pumpkin. At Easter, empanadas stuffed with lamb are essential.

They can be made of sweet or salty pastry, although salty pastry is more common. Also typical are “Crespells and Robiols”, stuffed traditionally with cottage cheese, “Cabello de angel” and jam.

It is also very common to include the vegetable coca, the “Trempó” or roasted red peppers, along with the “Cocarrois”, which are a kind of empanadas of Arab origin in the shape of a half moon stuffed with vegetables and raisins. The “Espinegades” are also typical.

Imagine a hideaway haven in the hills of Ibiza; brimming with authentic country charm and yet just minutes from all the magic and action the white island has to offer. Casa Maca is an intimate, rural hotel located in the peaceful hills of Can Palau, just outside of Ibiza town and within minutes of the airport.

With spectacular views of the iconic Dalt Vila skyline – the ancient fortress walls, heavenly blue skies and the shimmer of the Mediterranean Sea – ahead and rolling green hills behind, it is one of the most iconic Ibiza settings you could dream of for an island getaway.

Fragrant fields of lavender frame the whitewashed main building, a 300-year-old former farmhouse that has been lovingly restored with respect to its architectural heritage. A preserved traditional oil mill stands like a work of art in the lobby, a nod to the property’s heritage, while a sparkling swimming pool just outside is emblematic of its future as a romantic and relaxing retreat.

Almond, carob, fig and fruit trees surround the grounds, alongside lush Mediterranean flora – feeling at one with Ibiza’s nature is all part of the Casa Maca experience. In the local Ibicencan dialect, maca translates to beautiful and there couldn’t be a more apt description for this unique Ibiza hotel.

Open all year round, Casa Maca boasts just ten rooms to ensure total tranquillity is guaranteed for guests, while the high-end Mediterranean restaurant is open to one and all, meaning the magic of the location is never lost on locals and visitors. Colour and character is found in every corner of Casa Maca – a heavenly slice of rural island life.

Each suite is the size of a small apartment, allowing you to truly relax and feel at home and features a sitting room with a sofa bed (for two), a safe for your valuables, a minibar with complimentary water and soft drinks, chocolate and a tea and coffee machine.

Hotel guests, islanders and holidaymakers alike are invited to take a seat on the bright, airy terrace for breakfast and lunch, soaking up the magical Mediterranean ambience and those spectacular Dalt Vila views.

Breakfast is also served until 12pm, which for those sampling the island’s nightlife or just taking it very easy, is always appreciated. Evenings are alfresco at the open air dining space, which sits right next to the farm and plays host to an impressive grill.

Fresh meat, fish and farm-grown vegetables hang over an open fire. Diners relax to a soundtrack of live artists and DJs playing chillout music with a world influence twist while sipping on cocktails served from the aluminium Airstream bar.

This space and its special atmosphere is evocative of the energy the island is so well known for. In the winter months, the restaurant’s spacious and stylish interior becomes the heart of the hotel, with an open fire and seasonal menus making it easy to settle in for an afternoon or evening of epicurean delights.

SPA & WELLNESS
Taking time out for yourself is often neglected in day-to-day living and Casa Maca encourages guests to use their holiday time for relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration. While the rest of the island is buzzing around you, arriving home to Casa Maca envelops you in a bucolic sense of wellbeing and peace – like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Here, you can feel free to simply just be.

Understanding each and every guest is unique, Casa Maca can arrange a variety of wellness offerings designed to help you find your Zen. For some, it’s an indulgent, relaxing massage or facial on your private terrace, breathing in the fresh Mediterranean air and enjoying the sounds of silence.

For others, it’s all about pampering, with the island’s most skilled hair and make-up artists on-call to come directly to your suite whenever you need beautifying. Inspirational private yoga classes immersed in nature, stimulating personal training sessions around the hotel grounds, guided hikes in the stunning hills surrounding the hotel – whatever your heart’s desire, Casa Maca can match you with Ibiza’s best professional instructors.

An array of healing and wellness treatments can be arranged on request and extended retreat experiences can also be tailored to suit your needs. All you need to do is surrender to the experience and relax.

LOCATION
Son Brull is situated just 3km (a 7-minute drive) from Pollensa, in the north of Mallorca. A rich history of Moorish invasions, Roman conquests and Christian rule have left their mark on this charming town and a visit here is a highlight of any stay at Son Brull luxury boutique hotel.

The Roman Bridge is among Pollensa’s most interesting landmarks, a memory of an ancient civilization that once inhabited this picturesque town by the valley. Christianity was later embedded into Mallorcan culture with the arrival of the Jesuits who built many churches, among them Pollensa’s beautiful baroque Monti Sion church.

Today, most of Pollensa’s activity is focused around the buzzing Plaza Major. Lined with cafes and the setting of a local Sunday market, it’s the perfect place to sit back with an aperitif on a summer’s afternoon and watch the world go by.

Along Pollensa’s narrow cobblestoned streets are honey-coloured stone buildings housing boutiques, galleries and crafts shops, giving the town a distinctive artistic feel. Formentor beach is just 7km from Pollensa and is one of Mallorca’s most beautiful; a long stretch of sand with a backdrop of pine trees, the beach has restaurants, bars, watersports and lifeguards on duty.

THE HISTORY
Nestled in the foothills of Northern Mallorca, the magnificent honey-coloured property was originally built as an ‘alqueria’ (an Arabic farmhouse) in the 12th century during Mallorca’s Arab rule, before becoming a pillar of the Christian faith in the 18th century when it housed a Jesuit monastery.

Back in the 1700s, Son Brull’s resident monks lived off the land and welcomed tired travellers in need of shelter, food and solace. Fast forward three centuries and Son Brull continues to focus on excellent hospitality (albeit in more luxurious surroundings) and local island cuisine gleaned from the sea, the surrounding mountains and its very own garden and groves.

In 2003, the former monastery was lovingly restored by the Suau family (who have a strong background in the hospitality industry) and transformed into one of Mallorca’s best boutique hotels, while maintaining its unique architectural heritage.

Proudly Mallorcan, the three Suau siblings ensure that the history of the monastery and its important island references continue to live on in the hotel today. Traces of Son Brull’s rich heritage are visible throughout, but perhaps most notably in the main building’s beautiful stone and the atmospheric former olive mill that now houses the hotel’s tapas and cocktail bar.

ROOMS & SUITES
Our 27 stylish rooms and suites feature sweeping views of the Mallorcan countryside. Combining original 12th century architecture with modern décor throughout, the lovingly restored building charms visitors from the outset.

Its 23 individually-styled rooms and suites come in different shapes and sizes, but all have been meticulously decorated with hand-selected pieces – many from Mallorca. Individual features of the different rooms and suites include original wooden beamed ceilings, free-standing tubs and stunning valley or vineyard views.

Each room is fitted with Bang & Olufsen TV and audio systems, individual wi-fi and natural Son Brull Spa products. Couples on a romantic break will love our spacious Junior Suite with terrace; spectacular sunset views from here are best enjoyed in the open-air Jacuzzi.

Thick medieval walls, ultra quiet air-conditioning and the gentle mountain breeze keeps things cool in summer months, while luxury king-size or twin beds with soft, silky linens guarantee a good night’s sleep all year round.

Our brand new four villa suites, offer extra privacy and space. Set away from the main building, each comes with its own garden and heated pool, complete with countryside vistas. With two bedrooms and bathrooms they are an ideal choice for families or friends.

VILLA SUITE
Guests looking for a little more space and privacy will love the four beautiful Villa Suites – brand new. With a secluded setting away from the original hotel building, these spacious suites seamlessly combine modern Mallorcan architecture with all the luxury services of Son Brull Hotel, including 5-star concierge, boutique spa and award-winning restaurant.

Each stylish Villa Suite features two individually-decorated bedrooms (one double and one twin), two sleek bathrooms and a private garden with stunning valley views and a heated swimming pool, making these particularly suited for families or friends wishing to spend quality time together. On cooler nights, guests can cosy up around the romantic fireplace in the living room and enjoy views of the star-lit Mallorcan skies from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

JUNIOR SUITE WITH TERRACE
Our Junior Suite with Terrace offers guests an exclusive experience to remember. This romantic suite is the largest in the main monastery building and comes with a hydro-massage tub in a spacious en suite overlooking the valley; the beautiful wood beamed ceiling is another highlight. But undoubtedly the key feature of this stunning suite is the large private terrace, equipped with comfy sofas, a stylish sunbathing area and an open-air Jacuzzi.

It’s the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif or morning coffee while taking in the breathtaking views of the Mallorcan countryside and nearby Pollensa Bay. Unsurprisingly, the Junior Suite is a favourite among Son Brull Hotel’s honeymooning couples. It’s the only suite in this category, making it all the more special.

DELUXE ROOM WITH TERRACE
The Double Deluxe Suite with Terrace is the ultimate indulgence, combining historic heritage with boutique hotel comforts. There’s a bright and airy living area complete with designer sofa and stand-alone bathtub under a wood beamed ceiling, but best of all is the spectacular covered terrace framed by original 18th century archways and white linen curtains.

Guests can enjoy this romantic setting in complete privacy: a set of stylish armchairs look out onto the idyllic Mallorcan countryside, picturesque vineyard and infinity pool below.

Back inside, contemporary Mediterranean décor comprising clean-lined furniture, modern artwork and authentic island pieces perfectly complements Son Brull Hotel’s state-of-the-art amenities. Couples looking to truly treat themselves will not be disappointed with this one-off suite.

DINING
Gourmet cuisine that highlights the excellence of Mallorcan produce is central to Son Brull Hotel’s philosophy. Local gastronomy is at the very heart of the Son Brull experience, with three excellent eateries open to guests and non-guests alike.

At Restaurant 365, head chef Andreu Segura sources traditional Mallorcan ingredients – many from the hotel’s own grounds and groves – to create exquisite à la carte dishes.

Or for an all-round gourmet experience, the restaurant’s seasonal 8-course tasting menus are matched with regional wines and served under the stars on the terrace or in the elegant dining room. Both the à la carte and tasting menus offer vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The modern bistro offers lighter dishes to enjoy on the terrace, or by the fireplace indoors during cooler months. But perhaps the most interesting setting of all is the hotel’s bar, housed in the property’s original 18th century olive mill.

Here, guests can admire their historic surroundings while sampling fusion tapas and creative cocktails. Picnics can be prepared to take on excursions, for guests enjoying a boat or hiking trips. Guests can also order a private lunch served in the hotel gardens or vineyard.

365 RESTAURANT
Open for dinner all year to guests and non-guests, the renowned Restaurant 365 is undoubtedly one of the finest organic restaurants in Mallorca, perfect for romantic dinners or special events. Diners will enjoy one of the best restaurants in Pollensa, experiencing the unique flavours of the island in the elegant candle-lit dining room or on the terrace overlooking the valley.

Born and raised in Mallorca, head chef Andreu Segura carefully selects ingredients sourced from the hotel’s very own organic plot or the island’s sea and mountains and transforms them into unforgettable dishes that are both innovative and delicious.

The choice of seasonal and vegetarian tasting menus, matched with fine wines give an all-round gastronomic experience of the island’s offerings, while the à la carte menu features creative dishes including meats, seafood and risottos. Both menus include a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. This is high-end dining at its best.

BISTRO’
Our modern bistro serves up a wide range of light, Mediterranean-style dishes with a twist, such as artichoke carpaccio with hummus and honey vinaigrette, as well as sandwiches and salads with ingredients often freshly picked from our organic garden.

Guests can enjoy classic Spanish favourites too, including gazpacho, spicy patatas bravas, grilled red prawns from the nearby Bay of Pollensa and traditional seafood paella. The Bistró kitchen is open for lunch or dinner and meals can be served by the pool overlooking the vineyards and valley, or by the fireplace in our stylish dining room in cooler weather.

BAR
Spectacularly set in an 18th century olive mill that remains unchanged since first used by the monks, our charming bar offers some of the best cocktails on the island, accompanied by a stunning view.

Surrounded by thick stone walls and historic remnants of the old mill, guests can enjoy a variety of expertly-made cocktails including classic Gin & Tonic, prepared with Son Brull Gin, or the house cocktail, Son Brull Fizz, (a refreshing blend of gin, sugar, soda and lemons.

The Bar menu offers Spanish tapas any time of the day, such as “Jabugo” ham on bread with tomato and extra virgin olive oil. A careful selection of fusion dishes on the menu include the likes of white tuna tataki marinated in soy and ginger, or else there’s our classic Club Sandwich Son Brull – a firm favourite among our guests.

SPA
Guests can fully relax and unwind with a choice of treatments at the newly renovated Son Brull Hotel Spa, the only luxury spa in Pollensa. Surrounded by rugged mountains as far as the eye can see, Son Brull is a five-star rural sanctuary that offers peace and tranquillity to all who visit, and the new luxury spa invites complete relaxation.

Here, guests can choose from a wide range of all-natural treatments, rituals, facials and massages using local ingredients such as the fruit, flower and tender leaf of the Mallorcan prickly pear.  Open throughout the day, hotel guests have complimentary use of the spa facilities; a thermal circuit, sauna and steam bath to soothe tired muscles, and morning yoga sessions to uplift and revive both body and mind.

There’s also a fully-equipped gym and outdoor heated pool, making it easy for guests to disconnect from the outside world and indulge in some ‘me’ time. The Spa also has a couple’s treament room; a massage side by side, followed by a chilled glass of Cava and fresh strawberries is just one of several Spa treatment packages offered. Non guests are also welcome at Son Brull Hotel Spa, with several day and half day packages available, each combining treatments with use of Spa facilities.

MASSAGGES
Featuring oils and balsams from the prickly pear seed essence and aromatic Mediterranean plant extracts, our massage treatments are designed to give guests a fully holistic experience.

Guests will feel completely rejuvenated after our ‘Toe to Head’ treatment that includes foot reflexology followed by a cranial massage, or couples might prefer our ‘Son Brull for two’ – personalised side-by-side massages in our shared treatment room.  Our ‘Hot Stone Massage’ is another classic: the warm texture of the prickly pear balm and the relaxing herbal aromas have a calming and restorative effect on both body and mind.

RITUALS
Unique Son Brull luxury spa rituals combine a trio of body, facial and massage treatments and aim to regenerate, relax and recharge. Inspired by the indigenous fruits of our beautiful island and the changing seasons of the year, each of our three rituals incorporates all-natural local ingredients, such as aloe vera and the tender leaf of the prickly pear plant.

The available ritual is always based on the season; revitalising for Spring, hydrating in Summer or regenerating in Autumn. Each ritual lasts for two hours. Available to guests and non guests.

FINCA
Son Brull’s fascinating history stretches back to the 12th century. Initially an Aluqueria (meaning farmhouse/stables in Arabic), through the centuries the hotel’s land has provided shelter and food in many different forms.

In keeping with this history and our personal commitment towards sustainability, Son Brull continues to grow it’s own produce and to support local producers of a similar ethos. On a daily basis, the Son Brull organic farm supplies our chefs with the very best of each season; artichokes, tomatoes and fruits, including oranges, lemons and figs.

From our own hectare of vines, we are also able to make our own red, white and rose wines, available in the restaurants or to purchase. Guests are very welcome to wander through the orchards, and we very much hope our commitment to environmental sustainability will contribute to our guest experience.

While some of our guests prefer to do little more than sit back and take in the hotel’s stunning surroundings, others like to immerse themselves in the wealth of activities on offer.

Located in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, the beautiful landscape is the setting for many adventurous excursions, from cycling and hiking through picturesque nature trails within the UNESCO Heritage park, to canyoning in the nearby river.

CYCLING
From white sand beaches to dramatic mountain ranges, Mallorca’s contrasting landscapes are a source of inspiration to our nature-loving guests. With so many picturesque routes spread across the island, it’s no wonder cycling is among Son Brull Hotel’s most popular activities.

We provide both standard and electric bikes free of charge, so guests can set off and explore at their own pace. There’s no need to venture far, either: the pretty town of Pollensa is only a leisurely 10-minute cycle ride away from the hotel.

For more serious cyclists, we can also arrange guides, higher spec equipment and full day excursions into the Tramunatana mountains, complete with Son Brull picnic. The Formentor peninsula is a firm favourite amongst cycling enthusiasts, this most northerly tip of Mallorca is close to Son Brull and offers a stunning route of hairpin bends set between limestone rocks and the glistening Mediterranean sea below.
