Peaceful finca retreat with mountain views and refined Majorcan charm
Set within a historic finca dating back to the early sixteenth century, Hotel Mirabó de Valldemossa is a peaceful retreat surrounded by the striking landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana. Overlooking the valley and the charming village of Valldemossa, this boutique hotel blends heritage and comfort, with carefully preserved architectural features, modern touches and a genuine passion for hospitality.
The setting is as calming as it is beautiful. Gardens filled with Mediterranean vegetation invite you to slow down, while two outdoor pools offer space to unwind. The main infinity pool, with its generous sun deck, looks out across the mountains and valley, creating a truly memorable spot to relax. Tucked away on the estate, a smaller pool set in a former natural pond offers a more secluded corner, perfect for quiet moments. Winding paths and hidden seating areas complete the sense of tranquillity throughout the grounds.
Inside, the rooms reflect the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape. Soft tones, natural materials and thoughtful design create a warm, harmonious atmosphere that feels both elegant and understated. Each space has been carefully designed within the original structure of the finca, offering comfort without excess. Rooms are spread across the main house and a beautifully converted former sheep shelter, with options including terraces that open onto the peaceful surroundings.
Dining is an essential part of the experience. The hotel’s kitchen celebrates the flavours of Majorca, with dishes inspired by local ingredients and traditional recipes. Breakfast is a relaxed affair with a generous buffet and freshly prepared options, while lunch offers light, seasonal dishes served by the pool or on the terrace. In the evening, guests can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine served à la carte, accompanied by a carefully selected wine list featuring local and Spanish labels.
Designed with tranquillity in mind, the hotel is especially suited to couples seeking a quiet escape. Children are welcome, though stays are limited to ensure the peaceful atmosphere is preserved.

Cala Deia is a very beautiful small rocky cala with clear waters and rock pools, one of the few beaches on the west coast of Mallorca. It's quite a rugged beach here so you might need to bring a chair or a lilo to lie on.
Offering a distinctly different experience from the more typical Mallorcan beaches, Banyalbufar is carved into the dramatic foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. This small bay bears a few signs of regular usage, with terraced slopes and protective structures that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Once difficult to access, Cala Banyalbufar is now easily reachable via a windy round, allowing all to discover its quiet beauty.
The Port of Soller offers the only sandy beaches on the west coast of Majorca. This lovely little resort offers two beaches along it's horseshoe bay, all with golden sands and clear blue seas.
The closest beach to Palma is at Ca'n Pere Antoni. This stretch of golden sandy beach starts just beyond the cathedral. A promenade and cycle path runs along its length but behind these lies the main road that takes you to Palma airport.
Portixol is found just to the east of Palma's cathedral and is home to a little bay within which a little sand and shingle beach known as D'es Portitxolet Beach resides. The water is generally calm here due to the sheltered nature of the bay.
Cala Major is located within Palma Bay, around four kilometres to the west to the city of Palma.
Visit the monastery at Valldemossa, where Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838-9. The Real Cartuja (Royal Carthusian Monastery) was originally a royal residence, until Carthusian monks occupied the building from 1399 until 1835.
The monastery in Miramar can be found close to Valldemossa on the road to Deia. It was founded by King Jaume II in 1276 as a missionary school following a request by Ramon Llull (a 13th-century theologian and philosopher).
Raixa is a marvellous country mansion with gardens, parts of which date back to the 13th century. The house has passed through several noble families through the centuries, and was transformed to its present Italian style villa in the 18th century.

Of all the famous foreigners attracted to Mallorca's northwest coast, none is so admired locally as 'S'Arxiduc', Archduke Ludwig Salvador. Born in 1847 in the Pitti Palace, Florence, the son of Leopold III of Tuscany and Marie Antoinette de Bourbon, he came to Mallorca 20 years later to escape from Viennese court life and immediately fell in love with the island.
These classical gardens by the entrance to the Soller tunnel are a legacy of the Arab talent for landscaping and irrigation. Their name derives from al fabi, 'jar of olives' in Arabic. They were probably designed by Benihabet, the Muslim governor of Inca who converted to Christianity following the Spanish invasion.
A village steeped in old-world charm, Valldemossa lies in an idyllic valley in the midst of the Tramuntana mountains. Its ancient blonde stone houses contrast vividly against the surrounding green forests of olive, oak and almond trees, and the blue sky above. It’s the kind of place you can sit back and soak up the scenery with a warm drink and pastry in the winter and a cold glass of wine and nibbles in the summer.
Deià is an idyllic village of green-shuttered, honey-coloured houses that has become a millionaires' hideaway resting in the shadow of the Teix mountain, part of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. It may have been just another pretty west Mallorcan village had the famous English poet and novelist Robert Graves not decided to make it his home in the 1940s, raising its profile somewhat.
Esporles is one of Mallorca’s best-kept secrets, a wonderfully pretty place thanks to the well-preserved traditional blonde stone architecture and stunning setting in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
You could easily miss Mallorca's smallest village, which consists of little more than a bend in the Deia to Soller road.
Set in a lush valley of orange groves between the mountains and the sea, Sóller has been popular with day trippers for some time. Arriving on the vintage train from Palma there is plenty of taking things easy, sitting outside the cafés 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 made drinks, there is little temptation to move on.
Banyalbufar is one of the last remaining authentic coastal villages in Mallorca. It clings to the western coastline of the island on a steep hillside at the edge of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Most people come to Banyalbufar to see one thing, its ancient terraced hillsides descending down to the sea, but glorious views of the Tramuntana mountains and amazing sunsets also await you here.
