Mallorca: Where to Stay: Hideaways: Gran Hotel Son Julià

Gran Hotel Son Julià

Located about fifteen minutes east of Palma (about a $40 taxi ride) at the end of a cypress-lined drive is the Stein Group’s newest property: the twenty-five-room Gran Hotel Son Julia. Like its sister property, the Son Net, it feels like a private country estate, but here the design is less grand European and more exotic Mediterranean, with Moroccan sconces, Arabic gardens, Asian-colored silk pillows and even a salon inspired by the Alhambra. Guests lounge by one of two outdoor pools, take advantage of the intimate spa and play golf—just three minutes away are two eighteen-hole courses. Tip: Because the property is fairly new and not as established as Son Net, prices here are more affordable here. Rooms from $503.
