Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana is one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful regions with a mountainous landscape, slow living ethos, farm-to-table restaurants, and luxurious guesthouses.
LessA hotel for artists, by artists, Hotel Corazon opened between Sóller and Deia. The brainchild of photographer Kate Bellm and her partner, the multidisciplinary artist Edgar Lopez, it is part luxury lodgings, part farm, part restaurant, and part art space. Ask to stay in Baba Royale.
Family-owned for centuries, Sa Pedrissa feels like a traditional Mallorcan country house rather than a hotel. A 30-minute walk from Deia, its pool is its standout feature with sensational views down to the sea from its lofty height. Book one of the Junior Suites in the garden, with their contemporary interiors and private terraces with beautiful sea and mountain views.
Perches between mountain and sea on the way from Sollér to Deia. A charming agriturismo, it was converted from an old oil mill set among lemon and olive groves. The restaurant, which is powered by its own herb and vegetable garden, is a highlight.
An adults-only townhouse hotel, Meem is a stylish refuge in the center of Sóller. Charmingly restored from a 19th-century traditional Mallorcan house, its seven suites sit around a peaceful courtyard — the perfect place to relax after a day’s exertions.
Son Net reopened as a brand new hotel, nestled within a vast 17th-century estate on a hill above Puigpunyent, just 20 minutes from Palma. From the team behind Andalusia’s Finca Cortesin, this transformed Mallorcan manor house now has 31 suites, alongside magnificent views and bucolic Mediterranean gardens with orange and lemon trees, and a vineyard producing Malvasia white.
Located at the quiet edge of Playa Repic in Port de Sóller, the once-simple chiringuito has been reimagined as a farm-to-table retreat, celebrating local ingredients and seasonal produce. The design is set in driftwood accents, wicker seating, and an open kitchen that feels effortless yet intentional, framing views of the Tramuntana mountains. Patiki is a study in understated design and slow island living.
Part of the fabric of Deia's life, Belmond La Residencia has the best position in the village. Go for cocktails on its fabulous terrace — and maybe even stay for dinner, El Olivo, its courtyard restaurant is impossibly romantic.
Super authentic pintxos spot right in the heart of beautiful Sóller. Sit at the bar and order the tasting menu.
It’s Michael Douglas’ favourite restaurant on the island and we’re pretty partial to this spot too. Food is traditionally Mallorcan and simple, but excellent. Order the arroz marinera — a seafood rice soup with lobster.
Whether you sit in the romantic restaurant with its flickering candlelight or on the pretty terrace, Sebastian is a timeless delight. Run by the chef Sebastian and his wife Patricia, it focuses on seasonal dishes, using ingredients fresh from the market and local wines.
