Son Bunyola

Beautiful property in a spectacular location. Only suggestion is to offer shuttle each day to Palma since property is quite distant.

This is my second stay in a Richard Branson property. I stayed the one outside of Marrakech a few years ago and it was paradise. This place rivals it in all aspects. My friend and I stayed at several 5 star properties during our stay in Mallorca and this was my favorite hands down. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the room was unique and furnished so charmingly, but the star of the property is the staff and the surroundings. You can avail yourself of the tennis court, the swimming pool, the bikes, the hiking trails the restaurants and never feel the need to leave. The breakfast was sumptuous, the welcome drink very welcome and the hotel gifted me a bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday. I am already dreaming of going back and I tell everyone that I know, you cannot miss this experience!

This hotel is a dream - but it needs a few tweaks. A group of us stayed for three nights & we were beautifully looked after, especially by Patricia the Concierge Manager. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff - mainly local - are delightful. Always smiling & extremely helpful - especially Cody, Aniceta, Pearl & Carlos. One night we sat out on the terrace at Sa Tafona, the tapas restaurant, where Antonia the young & very talented chef, cooked us a dinner of endless sharing plates. Her food was just wonderful. (Antonia is surely on her way to earning a Michelin *) Unfortunately the Sommelier completely let the team down. We asked for his advice as we wanted to drink Mallorcan wine. The hotel has rather a limited choice for this. The Sommelier immediately tried to sell us the most expensive wine on the list. When we refused this, he completely lost interest in us. This sort of thing should not happen - more than disappointing. Another night Antonia cooked in the main restaurant, Sa Terrassa, where we had a conventional three course dinner of local dishes. Again the food was absolutely wonderful. Breakfast is a sight to behold. So many fresh meats, cheese & especially fruit laid out for self service. And then lots of hot dishes available too, including some special Mallorcan dishes. Tables are all outside on a terrace. Some covered some not. The staff move the positioning of the tables according to the weather/wind. All the rooms & suites are luxurious - all furnished by Rialto Living - & with wonderful views out over the valley & sea. The lovely smelling toiletries in the room are all made locally. Unusual little chocolate bars in the rooms are irresistible. At this time of year the sun leaves the pool by about 15.45 as it sinks behind a mountain, which is rather a shame. The pool is especially good as it is so long - really good for swimming lengths. There is a snack bar by the pool. Lots of sun beds & parasols are dotted around the pool & on the grass on a lower terrace at the front of the hotel. All peaceful & quiet with wonderful views. There are tables and chairs all over the place where too the views are always great, to have a drink or a snack. Terraces all around. This hotel has great potential. And it is still early days as it has only been going just over a year. But the management does need to make a few tweaks. In the summer there are endless places to sit outside - day & night. But when the weather is bad, & later in the year like now, there are not enough places to have a drink indoors. If the hotel eventually decides to stay open during the winter - & hopefully it will - then really more comfortable indoors places will be needed. A proper Bar needs to be created and a really nice comfortable lounge. The ‘lounge’ at the hotel presently is in the basement. It is badly designed and very stark with cold decor. We did not enjoy sitting there. We felt that actually all the hospitality areas nee

**Hotel Review** Nestled in the charming village of Banyalbufar, this hotel offers an unforgettable experience with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding landscapes. The decor throughout the hotel is stunning, blending modern elegance with local charm, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and stylish. The rooms are equipped with incredibly comfortable beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and the hotel’s cleanliness is impeccable—everything gleams and is clearly maintained to the highest standards. The staff deserves special mention as well, as they are exceptionally friendly and attentive, going out of their way to make guests feel at home. If you're looking for a relaxing and beautiful escape in Banyalbufar, this hotel is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

One of the Worlds truly great Hotels, our second stay and booked for 2025. Exemplary service in every respect, fabulous food, extremely comfortable and well appointed rooms and Son Bunyola is located in the most idyllic setting in Mallorca. What more could a discerning guest want for?

We’ve just returned from an amazing stay at Son Bunyola. From the second you arrive until the moment you leave, the whole place and overall experience is brilliant. We’ve travelled a fair bit and Son Bunyola has quite simply been our favourite hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It’s immaculate and the attention to detail throughout the hotel is impeccable. The decor is beautiful, as are the grounds. Breakfast is great, good variety and very fresh. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The housekeeping team keep the place looking amazing and must be the unsung heroes of the hotel. Massive thanks to all at Som Bunyola! We can’t wait to return.
