Request a ground-floor garden room for a private patio or terrace, outdoor seating, and a quiet setting.
What guests mention
Guests tend to love Son Julia for its quiet country setting, handsome gardens and relaxing pool areas. Breakfast receives especially strong praise, while rooms are widely considered roomy, attractive and comfortable. Service is another frequent highlight: staff are described as friendly, attentive and professional, including the restaurant team. The spa and tennis courts add to the appeal for a leisurely stay, and the short drive from Palma Airport is convenient. For exploring beyond the estate, however, most visitors find that hiring a car makes life much easier.
What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Son Julia Country House & Spa.
Top tips
Hire a car to reach Palma, the beach, nearby towns, and other parts of Mallorca, as public transport is limited and the hotel is secluded.
Choose a Deluxe Double room for extra space, French doors, and garden views, especially in the newer rooms.
Request an upper-floor room for better views and a quieter outlook over the pool garden.
Upgrade to a suite if you want more space or prefer it to a garden room.
Use the hotel’s ample parking when exploring Mallorca by car.
Request room 108 for an exceptionally large room with a garden terrace, or upgrade to a suite for more space.
Choose a Superior room for generous space, but check the specific room because sizes vary within the category.
Explore Llucmajor for a distinctly Spanish atmosphere and several good restaurants about five minutes from the hotel.
Use the adults-only pool for a quieter break from the main pool.
Choose the Imperial Suite for an enormous room suited to a couple or a family with one child.
Request a room in the main hotel building if you prefer to stay in the principal finca.
Expect a field rather than a formal garden when booking a garden room.
Choose a Superior Garden Room if outdoor seating matters, as standard Superior rooms may lack exterior space.
Choose a third-floor suite for a very large room overlooking the smaller swimming pool.
Choose junior suite 303 for a very spacious room, but do not expect a balcony.
Book room 204 if you want a consistently preferred room.
Choose room 201 for a particularly large and quiet room.
Book room 112 for its attractive stone portico over part of the terrace.
Request room 107 for its large layout, garden terrace, end-of-corridor position, and quietness.
Ask for room 101 only if noise is not a concern, as its location can be noisy.
Rely on Wi-Fi in reception rather than in your room, where the signal may be unreliable.
Bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you are particular about toiletries.
Do not expect a sauna or steam bath; the spa has only a small pool and jacuzzi.
Expect the outdoor pool to be unheated in April and potentially too cold for comfortable swimming.
Choose the large pool for an especially impressive swimming area.
Ask the manager about varying the menu, as requests may be accommodated.
Book dinner early in high season, although hotel guests receive priority.
Book the hotel early, especially during busy periods.
Ask for help with the shower controls, which can be complicated to operate.
Skip a terrace room if you plan to spend most of your time by the pool.
About Son Julia Country House & Spa
Son Julia Country House & Spa feels like the Mallorca of unhurried lunches and sun-warmed stone: a 15th-century manor reimagined as an intimate luxury retreat. Its 32 individually styled rooms and suites keep the old estate’s sense of character, while private terraces or balconies in some rooms open onto peaceful rural views. The mood is polished but restful, framed by a centuries-old garden, citrus groves, vineyard, patios and broad terraces.
Set in the countryside near Llucmajor, it offers a welcome change of pace from the island’s busier resorts while remaining around 20 minutes from Palma Airport. This is a particularly good fit for couples seeking a quiet break, families wanting space to spread out, and anyone planning a small celebration or wedding. There are pools, tennis courts and a spa for slow days on the estate, while the restaurant, Sa Magrana, serves meals centred on local ingredients. A car is useful for exploring the local town, Mallorca’s beaches and places such as Es Trenc.
Guests regularly single out the generous breakfast, spacious rooms and beautifully tended grounds. They also appreciate the genuinely warm, professional team, especially in the restaurant, and the calm around the main pool. Above all, visitors describe it as a place that makes switching off feel remarkably easy.
