Pollença, Mallorca, Spain

There must have been a lot of monks in Mallorca, as this is another beautifully converted convent. Set at the foot of ‘Puig de Maria’ it’s surrounded by mountains and not too far from the coast. However, it is far from Palma and most anything else. The 23 rooms are all different sizes; airy and breezy with beamed ceilings and high tech Bang & Olufsen TV, CD and DVD, as well as internet access and Jacuzzis.

The spa treatments have been devised around local products, like olive oil, honey and aloe vera. Or bypass the treatment room and go straight to the swimming pool, in my opinion the focal point of the property with peaceful views onto the surrounding vineyards. The restaurant and bar area serve traditional Mallorcan cuisine with a healthy twist. We sat in the bar next to an old olive press mill and felt in the element with a great glass of Mallorquin wine. There are plenty of available activities to keep you busy: golf, cycling, hiking and tennis as well as cooking classes in the hotel kitchen and wine tasting in the restaurant. Great spot to get away from it all – not to be in the Palma or Portals scene.
