Son Molí Country House
★★★★☆
Mallorca, Spain
Boutique Hotel
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
Located directly on the waterfront in Port de Sóller, Hotel Espléndido enjoys one of Mallorca’s most privileged settings, overlooking the horseshoe-shaped bay while backed by the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana. Its location offers immediate access to the promenade, beaches, mountain trails, and the historic tram connecting the port with Sóller.
Originally opened in the 1950s and thoughtfully transformed over the years, the hotel embraces a relaxed philosophy centred around understated luxury, exceptional service, and a genuine connection to its surroundings. The atmosphere remains welcoming and informal, encouraging guests to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of Mallorca’s northwest coast.
The interiors combine clean Scandinavian influences with warm Mediterranean materials, natural light, and soft neutral colours. Sea-view terraces, lush terraced gardens, multiple swimming pools, and carefully designed communal spaces create an elegant yet relaxed environment overlooking the bay.
What distinguishes Hotel Espléndido is its unique combination of beachfront location and mountain backdrop. Guests can move effortlessly between days by the sea, wellness experiences, cycling routes, hiking trails, and exploring the villages of the Tramuntana, making it one of Mallorca’s most versatile coastal retreats.
Today, Hotel Espléndido is best suited to couples, families, cyclists, wellness travellers, and guests looking to experience Mallorca beyond its traditional beach resorts. Its combination of design, location, and personalised hospitality has made it one of Port de Sóller’s most recognisable hotels.

Creator experience
“Some places invite you to slow down the moment you arrive, and Hotel Espléndido was exactly that for me. I loved beginning the day with views over Port de Sóller and ending it by the pool as the sun disappeared behind the mountains. The relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting, and genuinely welcoming team made every moment feel wonderfully unhurried.”
