idyllic setting
Guests are consistently taken with the spectacular setting, peaceful mood and beautifully restored feel of the estate. Rooms are widely admired for combining old-world character with contemporary comforts, while the pools, walking trails, spa and food receive frequent praise; locally focused dishes and attentive pool service stand out. Many reviewers call the team genuinely welcoming and professional, helping make stays feel special. The main reservations are the premium rates and a handful of reports of service that is not always as seamless as expected for this level of hotel.

Request Room 17 for its center-court view and layout; it is the best suite and was formerly the olive-farm owner's bedroom.
3
Hire a driver or rent a small car to reach the hotel and explore beyond it; do not rely on convenient local transport.
4
Check the facilities before booking; do not expect a sauna, steam room, or similar amenities, and prioritize the pool instead.

About Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas
Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas feels less like a conventional resort and more like a deeply private Mallorcan estate, where historic character meets polished, quietly modern comfort. Sir Richard Branson’s retreat occupies an extraordinary 810-acre UNESCO World Heritage landscape on the island’s dramatic northwest coast. Its 27 individually styled rooms and suites make the most of the soaring sea and mountain views, while three standalone villas offer a more secluded stay. Expect a refined but unhurried atmosphere, with an outdoor pool, spa treatment rooms and dining that puts local produce centre stage.
Set near Banyalbufar, this is a strong choice for travellers who want Majorca’s wilder, more scenic side rather than a busy beach-strip holiday. The grounds invite lingering: guests can explore trails, settle in beside the pool or book a wine tasting before dinner at Sa Terrassa. It suits couples, special-occasion escapes and anyone happy to trade nightlife and quick access to the island’s bigger resorts for remarkable surroundings and space to switch off.
Guests regularly describe the setting as magical and the property as beautifully maintained, praising the thoughtful room design, cleanliness and calm. Staff earn particular appreciation for their warmth and care, and pool service and meals are often highlights. A few visitors have noticed occasional unevenness in service, but most feel the experience lives up to its considerable luxury price tag.
