Minimalist stone finca
A restored agricultural finca turned rural hotel, where honey-toned stone and open fields set an unhurried pace.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In classic Balearic country style, Son Penya makes liberal use of natural stone and timber, and the interior color palette carries on in a similar selection of warm neutrals.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Sant Llorenç des Cardassar is a short drive away, set deep in the quiet farmland of Mallorca's eastern Levante.

The rooms
Bedrooms pair pale stone with private terraces, and select deluxe villas have their own plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Canopied daybeds line the outdoor timber deck among olive trees, and a heated spa pool sits indoors.
The sauna and gym
The dry Finnish sauna has tiered timber benches, and cardio machines sit behind floor-to-ceiling glass.
Restaurant 5'S
Tables sit beneath an ancient olive tree on the stone terrace, where Chef Bernat Reines serves regional tasting menus.
How it began
Before its 2004 conversion into a hotel, the estate operated as a working cattle and livestock farm.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
