Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas

Mallorca, Spain

Sir Richard Branson's 810-acre Mallorcan estate — a Michelin Key boutique hotel and three private villas in a UNESCO World Heritage landscape

At a glance

Set in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tramuntana Mountains on the dramatic northwest coast of Mallorca, Son Bunyola is one of Spain's most singular luxury retreats. The 810-acre estate — Sir Richard Branson's personal Mallorcan hideaway — encompasses working vineyards, centuries-old olive groves, terraced orchards, three miles of wild coastline and a private pebble beach, all framed by the soaring peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana.

At its heart sits a newly opened boutique hotel: a beautifully restored finca dating from the 1500s, awarded a Michelin Key by The Michelin Guide 2025 and named in TripAdvisor's top 1% worldwide. Alongside it, three standalone private villas offer exclusive-use flexibility for families seeking complete privacy. Intimate, unhurried and rooted in the natural world, Son Bunyola offers an experience quite unlike anywhere else in the Balearics.

Where you'll stay

Son Bunyola's 27 rooms and suites are distributed across the original finca building, the historic Tafona (the estate's restored olive press) and several annexe buildings. Every room is individual in character, with stone walls, timber beams and original architectural features alongside contemporary comforts. All rooms include a fully stocked complimentary minibar.
