What’s the hotel in a nutshell?

Emerging from a 16th-century farmhouse’s heart and soul, The Lodge Mallorca heralds a fascinating symbiosis of history and luxury hospitality. This boutique hotel is situated within a sprawling 157-hectare estate, dotted with century-old almond and olive trees, lavender fields and a maze of hiking trails, near Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Ingeniously crafted by interior designer Pilar García-Nieto, The Lodge boasts a vivid transformation, standing today as a privilege of time travel – housing the essence of its 500-year-old walls and spaces, yet luring the discerning travellers with contemporary finesse. García-Nieto’s careful preservation of the family home spirit is an ode to the generations that once gathered within these walls.

What are the rooms like?

Upon entering, guests are welcomed by the original stone mill, or tafona, traditionally used for making olive oil. The stone trough sink from the former kitchen has found a new role as a water fountain, while the original stone walls exposed on the interior whisper tales from the past. Six rooms find their home within the transformed farmhouse, while 18 more are scattered across the estate, inhabiting newly constructed cabins, echoing the farmhouse’s architecture and aesthetic. These suites feature an engaging balance of timber types and textures, with a minimalist colour palette. Each suite reveals a private Mallorcan patio, fostering a strong connection with the surrounding farmland. Within the rooms, locally crafted ceramics and a treasure trove of antique pieces found in nearby second-hand shops blend harmoniously with modern design elements.
