We were lucky enough to stay for 6 nights in November at Son Bunyola Hotel in Mallorca, and my goodness what a truly delightful hotel in every way. Difficult to single out highlights, as this is a very special place indeed, but for us the setting was magical, a restored finca set among terraces of ancient olive trees and vines with spectacular views of the turquoise Mediterranean and Tramuntana mountains. Not a UNESCO world heritage site for nothing. We couldn’t stop drinking in the views. Don’t worry about negotiating the hair pin bends on the way down to the hotel, staff pick by you up from the airport! Talking of staff, they were without exception fantastic. So friendly, helpful and relaxed, taking time to talk to us about what to see in the area & where to hike. Our every need was catered for, including a most interesting bespoke wine tasting and guided hike. The quality of the restoration of the building is stunning. The room gorgeous, with local Mallorca finishing touches such as espadrille slippers, perfect for going to the heated pool for an early morning swim before breakfast. Lunch and diner were lovely occasions and the food very good, but we couldn’t stop thinking about the breakfasts we enjoyed on the sunny terrace with glorious views enjoying local fruits, honey, juices and homemade breads. The cooked options were really interesting with some healthy options too. What a wonderful start to the day. We were sorry to leave and hope to visit again next year and explore more of Mallorca using Son Bunyola as a base. Both are beautiful places.
