Art Hotel Commercianti
★★★★☆
Boutique Hotel
Bologna, Italy
Set within a restored 19th-century estate near Palma, Son Molí Country House blends Mallorcan heritage, Mediterranean gardens, and relaxed countryside hospitality.
About the hotel
Hidden within five hectares of gardens, orchards, and open countryside just outside Palma, Son Molí Country House offers a peaceful rural setting only minutes from Mallorca’s beaches and the island’s capital. Originally built in 1897 and carefully restored in 2025, the estate combines historic character with contemporary comfort while remaining close to Palma Airport and the southern coastline.
The philosophy centres on offering a slower, more personal way to experience Mallorca. With just twenty-two individually designed rooms, attentive service, and generous outdoor spaces, the hotel encourages guests to disconnect from everyday routines while exploring the island’s landscapes, gastronomy, and traditions at their own pace.
Historic farm buildings have been thoughtfully transformed into elegant accommodation that preserves the estate’s original identity. Natural stone walls, exposed wooden beams, Mediterranean gardens, and light-filled interiors are complemented by contemporary furnishings, creating an atmosphere that feels authentic rather than formal.
What distinguishes Son Molí Country House is its combination of rural tranquillity and proximity to Palma. Guests can spend the morning relaxing beside the pool or enjoying the gardens before discovering beaches, vineyards, cycling routes, or the island’s historic towns, all within easy reach. The estate also provides elegant spaces for weddings and private celebrations.
Today, Son Molí Country House is best suited to couples, families, and travellers looking for an intimate countryside retreat while remaining close to Mallorca’s cultural attractions and Mediterranean coastline. Its boutique scale, historic setting, and personalised hospitality create a relaxed alternative to larger island resorts.
