21 Picture-Perfect Hotels in Mallorca, From Historic Castles to Wellness Hotspots

"Set in a 13th-century finca on a 99-acre estate, this stay was opened in April 2019 by Unico Hotels (the group behind island refuge Finca Gayeta) and has the apt air of a religious order’s bucolic retreat. Less minimalist and more Shaker-like simple, the 25 rooms free minds of worldly distractions with natural linens, polished concrete wet rooms, milk-white-painted beams, and wooden farm furniture sourced from French flea markets. The only adornments are olive branches from the estate, which encompasses orchards, 29 acres of newly planted vines, hiking paths, an outdoor pool, yoga shalas, and a spa stocked with Natura Bissé products. Farm baskets and wooden boards hang in the breakfast room, where an ancient fireplace has been turned into a loveseat; the spread of chia-seed puddings, Mallorcan coca bread and pan con tomate is eaten on the cobbled terrace over a congregation of olives trees. Meanwhile, the courses at Jacaranda restaurant have been pared down to three farm-fed seasonal choices by chef Baltazar Rigo, with dishes such as fennel soup, broccoli risotto, and carob cake with apricot ice cream." - Roxy Kavousi-Walker, Stephanie Rafanelli
