Mallorca’s beaches are legendary, but many people have no idea how spectacular this island's interior is, and it’s arguably some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the Mediterranean. Behind the pleasures of the coastline is an undulating topography of mountains and valleys, which gives a sense of remoteness to both, because you just can’t see past them to the characterful hill towns with their markets and pretty churches. Our picks for the best rural hotels in Mallorca can be found on these hills and in these valleys. Many of the small rural hotels in Mallorca are lovingly, and painstakingly, renovated farmsteads, manor houses, palaces and estates, which locals are refining into visitor accommodation. It’s in these sorts of properties, with their olive groves and huge presses, terracotta floors and exposed beams and stonework, that you can see the renewing of appreciation for the island’s traditions and heritage. And our recommendations for 20 of Mallorca’s best rural hotels offer the opportunity to appreciate these things as well as relax, explore or adventure as you see fit.
