Hotel Apartament Sa Tanqueta de Fornalutx, Fornalutx

Hotel Apartament Sa Tanqueta de Fornalutx is a small, quietly polished base in one of Majorca’s most photogenic mountain villages. Its 14 apartments combine the independence of a home stay—complete with kitchenettes—with the thoughtful feel of a boutique hotel. The setting is the real showstopper: terraces patterned with olive and orange trees roll towards the Serra de Tramuntana, best admired from the pool or a sun lounger with the mountains in view.

Set in Fornalutx, away from the island’s busiest resort strips, it suits couples, walkers and anyone keen to slow down among stone lanes and village life. Sóller and the port are within reach for day trips, though guests without a car may prefer to use the bus or taxi. Private guest parking is a useful advantage in this part of the island, and the apartment layout works particularly well for longer, self-catered stays.

Guests often describe it as a beautiful, friendly place, with the pool area and expansive views standing out. The buffet breakfast is a welcome morning ritual, while the honesty bar adds an easy, house-party touch. Warm service gets frequent appreciation too, with Mabel receiving particular mention from returning visitors.
