Son Brull Rural Sanctuary

Some places follow trends. Others, like Son Brull Hotel & Spa, set the tone. A former Jesuit monastery turned luxury boutique retreat, this design-forward sanctuary has been deeply rooted in Mallorca’s landscape long before sustainability was a buzzword. Wrapped in 100 acres of citrus, olive, and almond groves, with its own vineyards and organic farm, Son Brull is more than a hotel—it is a place shaped by land, history, and creative vision. The Suau family has carefully balanced heritage with progressive design, slow food, and contemporary hospitality.

Pollença is where history and wild beauty meet. Framed by the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the hidden coves of Cap de Formentor, it is an easy drive north from Palma. The atmosphere shifts past the agricultural heartland of Mallorca into a setting where monastic heritage blends with modern luxury.

From Monastic Past to Design Sanctuary

Son Brull is a meeting of history and contemporary design. The 12th-century walls, original archways, and beamed ceilings fuse with a minimalist aesthetic crafted by Barcelona’s Forteza + Aparicio. Interiors lean into earthy sophistication, with raw oak, rusted iron, and black-tinted concrete reflecting the natural textures of the land. Even the humble Mallorcan pebble plays a role in this carefully curated dialogue between past and present.

Recent additions by Estudio Carme Pinós include private villa suites that merge privacy with sleek, boutique design. The spa expansion enhances the holistic wellness experience, bringing together nature, contemporary architecture, and mindful living.

Farm, Flavour, and House-Distilled Gin

Son Brull’s gourmet credentials go beyond its farm-to-table philosophy. The 365 Restaurant is a landmark of boutique island dining, where Chef Andreu Segura sources hyper-local ingredients, from seasonal orchard fruits and vineyard wines to olive oils pressed on-site. The menus reinterpret Mallorcan traditions with a modern touch, from a fresh Mediterranean breakfast in the garden to a fine-dining tasting menu by night.

The old olive press bar continues the legacy of craftsmanship, serving house-distilled gin infused with lemons from Son Brull’s groves. The estate’s own organic wines add to the luxury boutique experience.

Raw, Revived and Radiant

Wellness here is shaped by the land. Treatments use flor de sal, citrus oils, and mountain herbs, blending traditional Mediterranean rituals with contemporary spa expertise. The hammam, hydro-massage pool, and open-air relaxation areas extend the sense of slow-living indulgence.

Beyond the spa, movement in nature is part of the experience. Sunrise yoga under olive trees, cycling through Tramuntana trails, and swimming in hidden coves bring a deeper connection to the landscape. Every moment immerses guests in Mallorca’s natural beauty, making wellbeing an integral part of the stay.

A Family’s Legacy, A Boutique Hotel With Soul

Miguel, Mar, and Alex Suau are not just hoteliers. They are custodians of Mallorca’s history and visionaries of its future. Their approach is felt in every aspect of Son Brull’s boutique luxury, from its farm-to-table ethos to the seamless blend of contemporary architecture with historic elements. Design, heritage, and authenticity drive the experience, creating a hotel that is both personal and profoundly connected to the land.

Son Brull is more than a hotel. It is a luxury boutique retreat, a design sanctuary and a cultural escape woven into Mallorca's soul. Pollença’s most iconic boutique stay is shaped by history, vision and the rhythm of the island itself.
