The house
Torre de Canyamel GroupPine-forest coastal estate
Thirty low-slung pavilions lie scattered through protected pine woods, with private footpaths leading down to rocky coastal coves.
“Suites embrace a sand-toned palette of natural materials such as wood, rattan and linen, and while they’re minimalist in design, they’re accented by a few luxurious touches.”
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide.
Light-filled rooms and suites, designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, are calm and minimalist with wood-beamed ceilings and pale parquet flooring.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The rocky cove of Sa Cova dels Albardans lies just below, and Canyamel village is a short walk away.

The rooms
Suites open onto private pebbled courtyards with outdoor rain showers. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight into the surrounding pines.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two saltwater infinity pools look toward the coastal headland, and a heated pool sits on the lawn.
The gym and sauna
Cardio machines sit on slatted wood platforms beneath the pines, and the glazed sauna looks onto the greenery.
Restaurant
Sa Pleta by Marc Fosh
Island produce and coastal fish are grilled over open flame beneath timber pergolas looking out across the gardens.
At the table
The bamboo-panelled bar pours local wines and mixes cocktails across the outdoor terraces and poolside daybeds.
How it began
The property was once a dairy farm, taking its name from the traditional Mallorcan stone enclosure used for livestock.
