SPIRIT OF SON FUSTER – ALARO

Luxury villa meets boutique hotel among stunning Mallorcan scenery

OVERVIEW 

Housed in an immaculately renovated 14th-century farmstead, this country retreat combines all the intimacy of a villa with the elevated facilities and service of a high-end boutique hotel. Fully staffed around the clock, you’re treated to an all-inclusive personalised experience that allows you to completely switch off during your stay. You can also rest assured that sustainability is at the fore here. Traditional Mallorcan features also blend effortlessly with fresh, eclectic interiors while a sierra-side setting makes for breathtaking panoramas and mountain adventure on your doorstep. 

SETTING

Nestled in the lushly verdant foothills of Mallorca’s majestic Tramuntana Sierra, this historical retreat boasts a truly stunning setting. You’ll stay not far from the charming town of Alaró, known for its mixture of island authenticity and cosmopolitan atmosphere. You’ll also find easy access to a wide range of scenic hiking and cycling trails meandering into the gorgeous natural landscape. And if you fancy some city vibes, you’re less than half an hour from Mallorca’s buzzing capital, Palma. 

SLEEPING

The estate has a total of 10 double rooms sleeping up to 20 guests. Rooms have been beautifully finished with a combination of solid wood flooring, original features and hip, minimalist modern decor. Bedrooms feature top-quality king-size beds (which can be separated into twins) topped with Egyptian cotton bedding, plus Bluetooth speakers and underfloor heating. Bathrooms are finished in natural limestone and provide vegan Grown Alchemist toiletries. 

RELAXING

When it comes to relaxation and recreation facilities, this place puts most hotels to shame. Of course, there is a dreamy palm-lined swimming pool to cool off in (which can be heated in cooler months) complete with cushioned siesta-ready loungers. For the active, there’s a paddle court, a well-equipped gym and the option of playing volleyball, croquet, badminton and more – even clay-pigeon shooting. You’ll also find a spa complete with saunas, a steam bath, and a range of massage and facial treatments.  

EATING 

You certainly don’t need to worry about dining during your stay, with a top chef preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The food concept is hearty, healthy and fresh organic produce from their own farm or the surrounding area, together with high-quality meats and fish. Veggie and vegan options are also always available, plus a good selection of fruits, cakes and healthy snacks prepared between the meals. An open drinks and self-service bar is also available around the clock, and staff are happy to prepare picnics.
