Grand Hotel Son Net
A private palace in the Mallorcan countryside
Our Inspector's Highlights
- A 17th-century private estate in the heart of Mallorca’s countryside, the hotel affords expansive views of Puigpunyent Valley’s olive groves, vineyards and distant mountains. The tranquil location feels like a peaceful retreat, far removed from the bustle of the island’s more tourist-heavy spots.
- The intimate spa provides a peaceful sanctuary, complete with a heated saltwater pool, Turkish bath and Japanese onsen in addition to its five natural light-filled treatment rooms.
- Mar & Duix’s elevated menu sees local ingredients (some sourced from the hotel’s onsite garden) incorporated into dishes like spice-glazed suckling goat shoulder or grilled sea bass with orange beurre blanc, served in a charming dining room that extends onto a breezy terrace.
- History seeps through the colorful boutique hotel, which dates back to 1672. Grand Hotel Son Net retained its original courtyard, chapel and spring-fed well, while interior designer Lorenzo Castillo restored the stone floors, antique fireplaces and other elements.
- The 30-meter outdoor pool feels like it’s floating in the hills, giving wide-ranging vistas of the valley below. The serene setting invites you to unwind, whether you’re lounging poolside with a book or taking a dip in the clear waters.
The Rooms
- Grand Hotel Son Net’s rooms blend traditional Mallorcan charm and contemporary luxury, with terra cotta-tiled floors, exposed stone walls and antique furnishings. Each space feels both timeless and inviting.
- Many rooms have private terraces that overlook the lush valley and distant mountains. Enjoying a glass of wine on your balcony at sunset is the perfect way to soak in the beauty of Mallorca’s countryside.
- While each room boasts its own signature style, all accommodations are adorned with period-appropriate artwork, some of which is original. The Grand Suite Maria de Napoles, for example, is named after a Mallorcan queen and adorned with authentic 17th-century frescos to match.
- Details like canopied beds, 17th-century portraiture and handcrafted wooden furniture create a sense of history within each room.
- The bathrooms are spacious, with elegant marble finishes, deep soaking tubs and separate rainfall showers. You will want to unwind here after a day exploring the island.
