The Best Hotels and Resorts in the World: The Gold List 2026 | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on Mallorca, the Grand Hotel Son Net looks like a classic film set, with the Puig de Galatzó mountain, part of the Serra de Tramuntana, as a dramatic backdrop. The building’s history dates back to 1672 and showcases impressive Balearic architecture, like a terra-cotta exterior, a 17th-century courtyard, gardens, and a private chapel. In 2023 the founders of Finca Cortesin took over management of the property with the aim of regaining the brightness of its glory days. In and outside the main building, 31 suites, some as large as 1,615 square feet, give an idea of how intimate this place wants to be. Lorenzo Castillo has carefully restored the hotel’s original charm by adding elements like canopied beds and cozy furnishings. The extensive spa is a highlight, and the hotel’s cuisine reflects Mallorcan flavors with a subtle touch, emphasizing the idea that, even in a place where everything is more, less is more. From $635—David Moralejo" - CNT Editors
