What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In the hills above Alaró, Finca Banyols carries the weight of centuries as a former olive oil mill, its stone walls and timber beams now restored into a refined rural retreat.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Across 250 acres in the Tramuntana foothills, surrounded by ancient olive groves outside Alaró.
The rooms
Rooms keep their original timber beams and natural stone walls, and windows look straight out across the Mallorcan countryside.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath exposed stone walls, with stainless steel swan-neck jets pouring into bubbling waters.
The spa
Massages take place in indoor treatment rooms and open-air pavilions, using oil pressed directly on the estate.
At the table
Tafona 1475 serves dinners inside the historic olive mill, and Aramesh cooks coastal seafood over open coals in the courtyard.
