Fornalutx Petit Boutique Hotel
Small, charming hotel in the prettiest of villages
Just a short drive from Soller, the Petit Hotel is located on a tranquil, traffic-free street in Fornalutx, widely recognised as one of Spain’s prettiest and most distinctive villages.
With a dramatic and idyllic setting in an orchard-filled valley at the heart of the stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and overlooked by Puig Major, Mallorca’s highest mountain, this extraordinarlily beautiful and immaculately conserved traditional mountain village has received many awards and prizes over the years.
In the past, the building was the Convent and then later the School of the village. Now fully restored and modernised into a charming little boutique hotel of individual character, the Petit Hotel boasts charming rooms equipped with en-suite bathroom, Satellite TV, stereo system, a safe and a direct-dial telephone with its own number so you can make and receive calls directly in the room. There is also Wi-Fi Internet connection.
The old chapel is now the main suite of the hotel with its own private terrace and truly fabulous views over the mountains and the valley. It’s heavenly!
In addition, the hotel has a meeting room for hosting small events or gatherings, a library/reading room, a dining room and a large outdoor sun terrace where, in Spring and Summer, you can enjoy a delicious continental breakfast while savouring the beautiful views across the valley of the orange trees to the mountains.
Staying outdoors, the hotel boasts beautiful gardens filled with birdsong and orange trees, where you can lie back and soak up the sun, enjoy a cooling dip in our swimming pool or relax in our Jacuzzi or sauna.
If peace and tranquility in magnificent surroundings are what you look for in a great hotel, then look no further than our unique oasis of calm on one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
The charms of Fornalutx are innumerable. The narrow cobbled steets and stone steps, carefully adorned with many pots and plants; the ancient stone houses with their wide open doorways virtually inviting you in to look; the charming small central square with its enticing restaurants and cafes; the lush vegetation on the mountain terraces and the sweet scent of orange blossom wafting in from the famous orchards of the valley.

Cuevas dels Hams
Located in Porto Cristo
You cannot miss these caves as you drive from Manacor to Porto Cristo. Most people only want to visit one set of caves during their time on Mallorca and the giant billboards and flags at the entrance are an attempt to ensure that this is the one. In fact you are better off continuing to the 'Cuevas del Drach' or up the coast to the 'Coves d'Arta'.

Son Muntaner Golf Course
Located in Palma de Mallorca
The Son Muntaner golf course forms part of the Arabella golf complex in Son Vida, to the north west of Palma de Mallorca. Created in 2000 by Kurt Rossknecht, the course is considered one of the more challenging on Majorca. The fairways and the greens have carefully placed bunkers and some water hazards that require the golfer to place their shot as accurately as possible. With beautiful views down towards Palma and lush Mallorcan landscaping, Son Muntaner provides a glorious environment in which to play golf. The green fees are accordingly, on the high side.

Soller
Located 2.8 km away
Set in a lush valley of orange groves between the mountains and the sea, Soller has been popular with day trippers for some time. They tend to arrive on the vintage train from Palma and seem to do little but sit outside the cafes in Plaça Constitució soaking up the atmosphere and the sun. With several tapas bars, a fine selection of pastry shops, local ice-cream, and freshly squeezed orange juice, there is little temptation to move on.

Deia
Located 9.0 km away
Deia is an idyllic village of green-shuttered, honey-coloured houses that has become a millionaires' hideaway in the shadow of the Teix mountain, part of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Although it could have been just another pretty Mallorcan village in the west of Mallorca had Robert Graves not decided to make it his home...
