Request a double room with a balcony for mountain views, quiet outdoor seating, and a pleasant spot before breakfast.

About Hotel Can Roses
Hotel Can Roses feels like a secret found by accident: behind an old wooden entrance on a narrow lane, this eight-room hideaway opens into a romantic courtyard and a remarkably lush garden. Roses appear throughout the property, while the atmosphere is more intimate old house than conventional resort. The standout is the large swimming pool, set within 2,000 square metres of palm-filled grounds, and the small honesty bar adds to the easy, house-party feel.
Though tucked away on a quiet side street, the hotel is only a short walk from Sóller’s main square, cafés and restaurants. It is a particularly good fit for couples and travellers who want to stay central without sleeping amid the town’s bustle. With just eight rooms and plenty of outdoor space, it suits unhurried days by the pool far better than a busy, full-service hotel experience.
Guests regularly describe Can Roses as a peaceful oasis, praising its lovely garden, generous rooms and welcoming owners and staff. Many appreciate the careful cleanliness and personal attention, and find the setting excellent value for a boutique stay. A smaller number have found room furnishings uneven or access less straightforward than expected, so it is worth choosing a room with your preferences in mind. Still, the prevailing feeling is of a charming, restful place people are pleased to have discovered.
