Son Sabater by Zafiro Review | Hotels Above Par
"Tucked into Sa Pobla’s golden farmland down a dusty, vine-lined drive, this reimagined 15th–16th-century finca feels like a private Balearic hideout overlooking the Serra de Tramuntana. The design marries authentic Mallorcan stonework, raw rock walls and centuries-old beams with soft, earthy linens, green French shutters and refined accents, creating a relaxed but polished countryside atmosphere across 12 rooms in the main house and three freestanding villas. Dining focuses on fresh, hyper-local Mediterranean fare — highlights include a charcoal-bun burger with caramelized onions and creamy goat cheese, a comforting green curry chicken with coconut milk, and octopus served over sweet potato purée — while breakfasts mix buffet classics with made-to-order eggs and Mallorcan-style options. Service is warm and personal (guests are greeted with chilled cava by Valentina, sip cocktails from Estefanie and get local tips from Raoul), and wellness is low-key yet comprehensive, from Lourdes’s tailored massage cabin to indoor and outdoor saltwater pools, a Turkish bath, sauna and compact gym. Practical touches like complimentary bicycles, hidden reading nooks and a self-contained water system underline sustainable, feel-good practices, and the location offers easy access to Alcúdia, Pollença, Sa Pobla tapas bars and nearby coves such as Cala Carbó."
