What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Son Julia Country House Hotel contains some 32 rooms and suites, which marry antique atmosphere and contemporary design with a pronounced Arab influence.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Rural Llucmajor surrounds the grounds. Palma and the island's southern beaches are both a fifteen-minute drive away.

The rooms
Original marés sandstone arches divide the bedroom from custom stone bathrooms in select suites.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Red-canopied cabanas border the twenty-five-metre Agapanto pool. An elevated adults-only pool sits under a carved wooden pergola.
The spa and gym
The gym opens through glass doors onto an inner courtyard, and the spa uses natural botanicals for treatments.
Restaurant Sa Magrana
The restaurant serves Mediterranean cooking beneath stone arches, and the wicker terrace looks out over the vineyards.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out beneath rustic stone groin vaults, and Sa Capella Bar mixes evening drinks in the manor.
How it began
The property served for generations as the country seat of the aristocratic Julià family before its 2006 conversion.
