Son Palou

Highlights

• Dreamy Countryside Location: Hidden in the Tramuntana mountains with views so lush, you’ll want to frame them.

• Rustic Elegance: Stone walls, wooden beams, king-sized beds, and bathrooms fancier than your local spa.

• Farm-to-Table Feasting: Locally sourced, Mallorcan-inspired dishes paired with the kind of views that make food taste better.

Location: Where the Magic Happens

Son Palou isn’t just in the countryside—it is the countryside. It’s tucked away in the adorable village of Orient (seriously, Google it), surrounded by olive groves, pine forests, and views that will make your phone storage cry.

• Peace & Quiet: This is proper "switch off and recharge" territory. Forget city noise—your neighbours here are birds and maybe the odd friendly goat.

• Easy Access: Despite its "middle of nowhere" vibes, Palma airport is just a breezy 45-minute drive away. Hit the city for a bit of shopping and tapas, then be back in your peaceful mountain hideaway by sunset.

• Adventure Nearby: Sóller’s just 20 minutes down the road, and the island’s best wineries are practically your next-door neighbours. Countryside retreat or wine-tasting tour? We say both.

Rooms: Countryside Chic Meets Total Comfort

The 12 rooms and suites at Son Palou are the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern luxury. Think stone walls, wooden beams, and the kind of beds that swallow you whole.

All the stuff you need

• Flat-screen TVs

• Air-con

• Free Wi-Fi for those “I’m not jealous, you’re jealous” Instagram updates

• Balcony Goals: Most rooms have private terraces or balconies with views that scream “main character energy.” Morning coffee or wine o’clock—you pick.

Even the bathrooms are next-level. Rain showers, fluffy bathrobes, and toiletries so posh you’ll consider sneaking them into your suitcase (but don’t, okay?).

Food & Drink: Bring Your Appetite

Son Palou takes “farm-to-table” to the next level, with ingredients grown on the estate or sourced from nearby farms. The result? Food that’s fresh, flavourful, and absolutely delish.

• Breakfast Spread: Freshly baked pastries, homemade jams, local cheeses, cured meats, and eggs cooked your way. It’s the perfect pre-hike fuel—or pre-laze-by-the-pool fuel, no judgement.

• Dinner with a View: The à la carte menu is all about Mallorcan flavours with a modern twist. Slow-cooked lamb, fresh Mediterranean seafood, and veggie options that might convert the biggest meat-lover. All paired with local wines, because when in Mallorca...

• Poolside Bites: Feeling peckish mid-lounge? The snack bar has light meals, cocktails, and fresh juices. Honestly, you might never leave the pool.

• Special Touches: Want a romantic dinner under the stars? Just say the word, and they’ll set it up in the gardens. Fancy, huh?

Sports & Entertainment: Relax or Adventure? Both, Obviously.

Son Palou is perfect whether you want to kick back and relax or get your sweat on (or a bit of both).

• Infinity Pool Perfection: This pool isn’t just for swimming—it’s for admiring the mountains, snapping pics, and convincing yourself you’re in a movie.

• Hiking Heaven: The hotel is surrounded by trails winding through olive groves and valleys. Whether you’re a pro or just here for the scenic stroll, you’ll find a route you love.

• Free Bikes: Borrow one of the hotel’s mountain bikes and explore the Tramuntana the fun way. Helmets included, so no excuses.

• Horseback Riding: Pretend you’re in a fairytale as you trot through the countryside on a guided tour. Beginners welcome—no galloping required.

• Spa Vibes: Book a massage or beauty treatment using natural, locally sourced products. Perfect for sore muscles after a long hike or, let’s be real, a long day of doing nothing.

Things to Do Nearby: Explore Your Surroundings

If you can tear yourself away from the pool and the views (it’s hard, we know), there’s plenty to see and do in the area.

• Sóller: A charming town just 20 minutes away. Stroll its cobbled streets, sip coffee in the market square, and treat yourself to a slice of almond cake (trust us, it’s worth it).

• Wine Tours: The local wineries are a must-visit. Sip on reds, whites, and rosés while learning about Mallorca’s winemaking traditions. Pro tip: maybe save the hiking for another day.

Palma de Mallorca: The island’s capital is just 35 minutes away. Visit La Seu Cathedral, wander the Old Town, and shop till you drop. Then head back to Son Palou to recover.
