XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

With the warm pink–orange glow of its façade, floors of cool flagstone and elegant Moorish arches, the Gran Hotel Son Net is a fine example of quintessentially Mallorcan architecture and style. From its elevated position on a secluded hilltop, this elegant country mansion overlooks the unspoilt village of Puigpunyent, once again restored to the splendour it enjoyed in the 17th Century.

During its recent refurbishment, great care was taken to preserve the character of the hotel, evident in the many original features that have been retained in its public areas and 24 luxurious rooms and suites: the Arabic tiles, the stone walls, the rustic beams, and, of course, the century old olive press which is now home to the gourmet Sa Tafona restaurant.

Ways in which to pass your time are numerous, with the hotel’s 30–metre–long swimming pool, fitness centre, sauna, beauty clinic, tennis courts and top–class golf courses and beautiful beaches nearby. Lively Palma lies a mere 15 minutes away. Alternatively, take to the surrounding countryside by foot, bike, or on horseback. Opportunity for those seeking quiet contemplation abounds in the tranquillity of the English rose garden, the intimacy of al fresco dining under the stars or in the privacy of the shaded, poolside cabanas.
