Why we picked this hotel
Set in a restored Mallorcan country house just outside Palma, Son Molí combines citrus groves, a pool, and a small-scale layout that makes it feel more like a rural retreat than a standard island hotel. Being close to the city and the beach, but surrounded by gardens, is what gives it its appeal.
Hotel description
Hotel Son Molí Country House is set in Es Pil·larí, in a quiet rural pocket just outside Palma. It has a countryside feel, with gardens, open land and a restored historic finca, but it is not remote. The beach, airport and city are all a short drive away, so the stay works more as a calm base near Palma than a far-flung retreat. The hotel has 22 rooms and was originally built in 1897, with a recent renovation completed in 2025. The atmosphere is intimate and low-key, centred around the grounds, the pool and a slower pace rather than big shared facilities or a strong social scene.

Hotel location
This is great
A restored country house surrounded by lemon and orange trees, which gives the whole place a much stronger sense of setting than a standard hotel near Palma
Only 25 rooms, which keeps the atmosphere calm and makes the property feel much more personal than larger Mallorca stays
An outdoor pool at the centre of the gardens, creating a quiet focal point that makes staying on the property just as tempting as heading to the coast
A restaurant and bar on site, so the hotel has more rhythm and life than a simple room-only finca stay
A tennis court and enough open space to feel removed from Palma, even though the city is close by
Our take on the stay
What gives the place its character is the setting itself: a former finca surrounded by citrus trees, with the old mill still part of the property and the pool sitting at the centre of the gardens.

About the destination
Mallorca
Mallorca’s southeast feels quieter and more rural, where flat farmland, dry stone walls, and scattered fincas stretch toward the coast. Around Campos and the roads leading to Es Trenc, the landscape opens up, with long sandy beaches just a short drive away. Hotel Son Molí Country House is set within this countryside, surrounded by open fields and a slower pace that defines this part of the island.
