Belle Son Mas Luxury Finca Hotel

Charming historic farm turned luxury hotel just over an hour from Palma and the airport. Very peaceful and private. Large stylish rooms. I believe most if not all rooms have a large terrace positioned so that you aren’t overlooked by any other guests. Beautiful grounds and pool. Good (and fairly reasonable) restaurant on site with a great selection of local wines, however not far from restaurants in Port Cristo or Manacor. Also not far from some of the most stunning coves on the island.

From meeting Ingmar at reception right through to the check out it was a wonderful stay. My wife and I use this type of boutique hotel all the time as our preference and Son Mas is up with the best of them. A huge junior suite as standard, massive comfy bed, and tremendous grounds give the feeling of space and quiet. Lovely staff (big hello to Ingmar, Cynthia and Mercedes). Breakfast; as ample and varied as one would expect at a good hotel and the cooked-to-order part was done very well, every single day. Dinner; We took the half board, but be warned, do not have snacks before dinner because the portions are huge. We are proper foodies, and comfortably rated the cooking as good bistro standard with a touch of flair. The wine list is very well priced indeed but the by-the-glass options are too limited. Grounds; very open, very calm and superbly kept. It's a beautiful place to walk around and the farmhouse main building is spotless, elegant and inviting. After dinner coffee in the stone tunnel lounge is just what you need. COVID; well done one and all, perfect. Obligatory mask wearing by all staff inside was observed without fuss and guests were asked to wear a mask inside and almost everyone did so. My wife is in the 'clinically extremely vulnerable' group and we both felt totally at ease. Beaches; so close and easy to get to, all of them with ample parking, at least at this time of year (1st week October). Brilliant weather too, 25 in the day, cooler at night to sleep. We are looking at going back next October instead of our usual trip to the Caribbean, it was that lovely and we'll be making Son Mas our base for a couple of weeks. So easy, 8 hours hotel door to North London home door!! Tip; be sure to hire a car.

Truly wonderful hotel. I've visited few as lovely. Immaculate and beautiful surroundings. Wonderful staff. Beautifully furnished large rooms. We will be back.
