- Jardi d'Arta looks like a couple of unassuming townhouses from the street, with a little traditional restaurant on the ground floor, but go inside and the building opens up to a beautiful courtyard behind which there’s a tranquil garden and a Moroccan-style pool, then follow the stone steps up and then down on a higgledy piggledy route, and you’ll eventually find the rooftop garden, with its verdant walkways covered in scented climbers and rambling roses, and a patch of grass beside two more pools. Most of it’s 12 rooms have their own private access to the garden, and are well designed with lots of gorgeous original features, but large, contemporary bathrooms. Breakfast is served in the downstairs courtyard or indoor dining area, dinner is served up by the in-house chef, and the bar and piano make for cheery evenings.

- Tucked away in the hills around Valldemossa, half hidden by its own beautiful gardens is the Mirabo de Valldemossa, a discreet, privately owned hotel with just nine rooms. Carefully converted from an olive farm in 2002, this property has been in the same family for five generations. And the feel is understated, but chic: rooms feature bare stone or white washed walls, simple matting on terracotta tiled floors, cream linen furnishings and antique wooden furniture. The views are restorative, as is the simple food served in the dining room — which used to be the olive press. Personal and relaxing.
- The Pink Pepper Tree is a tranquil, rustic-looking finca in the hills above Lloseta, close to the Tramuntana mountains. Inside there’s plenty of stylish design choices, with an emphasis on natural materials and clever vintage finds, and its eight rooms have bare stone walls and whitewashed beams, floaty fabrics and freestanding baths. There’s a pool, and a series of terraces, plus a small lounge and bar, which are homely and full of charm.
Mallorca’s Best Design Hotels
- The Boutique Hotel Calatrava is a sleek, stylish hotel in central Palma de Mallorca, right opposite the beach. On the ground floor is a lovely little cafe-bistro with a wine bar and views out to sea. Then upstairs are just six rooms and suites with plenty of space, wood flooring, exposed beams, big windows with big shutters and a cheerful, but minimal colour palette — some of them perfect for families. The hotel has a small spa too.
- In a prime position in Palma's Gothic Quarter, the Summum Prime Boutique Hotel is an elegantly refurbished 18 room hotel with some exceptional details and a lovely rooftop pool terrace. This is a five star hotel, with an excellent restaurant and facilities — there’s a spa and gym, and some of the suites are ideal for families. But what’s extra special about it is the way the minimal, contemporary furniture has been placed with such effect against the ceiling frescos, wood panelling and cornice work.

![Son Penya Petit Hotel](https://www.thehotelguru.com/_images/3a/5f/3a5fefbbfbb2ad701d22139f98dad531/600x422.jpg)
- The Son Penya Petit Hotel isn’t calling itself a finca, but it certainly has the look and feel of a ranch, with lots of straight lines to the low-rise architecture and beautiful pale exposed stonework. It’s just outside the village of Sant Llorenç, in a scenic spot, which they make great use of with all the windows, private terraces and open-plan design living space. There are 16 rooms and suites and one villa, which is a great choice for families, plus an excellent spa and a gourmet restaurant.
- Just outside the small but charming village of Artá, the Finca S'Estelrica is a somewhat boxy looking farmhouse converted into a nine room hotel. Outside the rural views are a real pleasure, and inside the boxiness has been used as a design influence. There’s a chic, angular aesthetic, with an emphasis on local stone and other natural materials, which also gives it a fresh, clean feel. There’s a small pool, but you’re quite close to the beach too. There’s no restaurant here, but once a week the owner-managers prepare a traditional supper for their guests. Some of their suites are suitable for families.
![Es Lligats](https://www.thehotelguru.com/_images/06/65/0665cb700311f183e7d8089926ab40e1/600x422.jpg)
- Es Lligats is an 11 villa agriturismo on an expansive estate outside the village of Sant Llorenç. This is the kind of place where the views and clear skies seem to go on forever. And under them is a collection of impeccably designed buildings which borrow from the local traditional style with their straight lines, exposed stonework and beamed ceilings, but are also elegantly modern, making the most of big windows and cool stone floors. The decor is chic too, making this a sort of uber-stylish home from home for you and your family — and you could accommodate a large one here too if you needed to.

The cafe/bar/restaurant is popular locally, with great views and tables that spill out onto the street.
