Pollença, Spain
An 18th-century Jesuit monastery turned Relais & Chateaux hotel, set within 32 hectares of organic vineyard, olive grove, and farmland at the foot of Puig de Maria in Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana.
Stone walls built by Jesuit monks frame the main building. Beyond them, 32 hectares of terraced olive groves, vineyards, and vegetable gardens slope toward the Puig de Maria. Centenary olive trees grow on dry-stone marges. Three hectares of organic vineyard carry indigenous grapes like Callet, Gorgollassa, and Prensal Blanc. Beehives sit among the orchards. Donkeys named Siona and Masiana clear weeds between the rows. Everything the farm produces goes straight to the kitchen.
Son Brull treats ecology as inheritance, not policy. The monastic tradition of self-sufficiency never stopped here. The hotel collaborates with the Associacio de Varietats Locals de Mallorca to conserve autochthonous vegetable varieties. Villa Suites designed by Carme Pinos, winner of Spain's National Architecture Award 2021, sit among the groves. Silence, fertile soil, and slow time define this place.
Son Brull sits in the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain range. Three named cycling routes start and finish at the front door. One climbs the Coll den Femenia and Coll de sa Bataia passes. Another follows the coast to Cap de Formentor. A third loops through Port de Pollenca and Platja de Muro. The hotel's bike centre has workshop space, video surveillance, water service, and express laundry for kit. Rentals run through partner Rentmarch.
A Technogym-equipped gym and a tennis court sit on the grounds. Free daily Hatha Yoga begins at 09:00. The heated outdoor pool overlooks the valley. The sea is six kilometres away.

The 3\65 Restaurant draws from the 32 hectares directly outside its doors. Vegetables, olive oil, wine, honey, and eggs all come from Son Brull's own organic estate. The kitchen works with autochthonous Mallorcan varieties grown in collaboration with the Associacio de Varietats Locals de Mallorca. Estate wines are pressed from indigenous grapes like Callet and Giro Ros. Spring and autumn honey harvests flavour the seasonal menu.

Son Brull's sustainability is rooted in monastic self-sufficiency. The Jesuits who built this monastery in the 18th century farmed the same terraces. That cycle never broke. Today the 32-hectare organic estate grows indigenous vine varieties, presses its own olive oil, keeps beehives, raises laying hens, and cultivates autochthonous vegetables. Everything produced on the farm is consumed at Son Brull. Donkeys Siona and Masiana handle weed control naturally.
The farm holds CBPAE certification from the Balearic Council for Ecological Agricultural Production. Son Brull is affiliated with Slow Food Illes Balears and carries the Double U Certificate. The hotel collaborates with the Associacio de Varietats Locals de Mallorca to conserve Mallorca's biocultural heritage. Partnerships with Amigos de Buba, Fundacion Rana, and the Festival de Pollenca support conservation and community across the region.
