Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A pedestrian cobbled lane leads fifty meters to Fornalutx's village square, with the Tramuntana mountains rising immediately above.
The rooms
Bedrooms keep cool terracotta floors and local paintings, and the top penthouse opens onto a private mountain-view terrace.
The massage room
Bring a swimsuit.
Bodywork sessions take place in an indoor treatment room, or outside in the garden and pool tent.
Yoga on the terrace
Visiting practitioners lead yoga and breathwork sessions out on open terracotta terraces facing the mountains.
At the table
Tables on the top terrace look across the green valley toward the mountains for seasonal Mediterranean dinners.
How it began
The Pehle family converted three mid-nineteenth-century village dwellings in 1998, leaving their stone walls intact for a 2022 refresh.
