Top rural retreats in Mallorca

With its cats, dogs, chickens, horses and even an ostrich, Es Quatre Cantons Agroturismo Hotel might just fit your idea of a rural escape. Care for the environment is a priority and they use solar energy, residual water in their garden and organic products in both the bathrooms and on their menu. The beautifully restored 19th century finca has 14 rooms, including four suites, with plenty of space for families. It is located just 2.6km away from the historic town centre of Binissalem, which is the centre of wine production in Mallorca. We recommend sampling the local wines at nearby wineries, such as Celler Albaflor, Vins Nadal or Jose Ferrer. Cycling, hiking and horse riding are all possibilities from here.

"All that a poet or a painter might dream of, nature has created here..." The words of writer, George Sands, may resonate with you while you're enjoying the view from your garden facing balcony at C'an Verdera Hotel. This 11 room boutique hotel is located on the slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana in the village of Fornalutx, which is claimed by many as the prettiest village in Spain. It is perfect for all those who want to immerse themselves in nature without forgoing the luxuries expected of a top hotel. Beauty treatments, massages to knead out those knots and yoga to stimulate you, are just some of the ways to make the most of your stay here. Lovers of the great outdoors have a good choice of walks, from gentle paths to high altitude hikes. An excursion to Lluc monastery is highly recommended. The stylish Garden Lounge is the perfect place to end each day, as you can sit back and enjoy orange blossom beer, freshly brewed in Soller.
