17th-century mansion turned boutique hotel
Tucked into the sun-drenched streets of Santanyí, Can Ferrereta is less a hotel and more a love letter to Mallorcan life. Behind its 17th-century stone walls you’ll find a world of serene courtyards, contemporary art, and gardens that hum with birdsong. With just 32 individually designed rooms and suites, it feels wonderfully private yet quietly grand. Spend your mornings swimming under the gaze of a Jaume Plensa sculpture, your afternoons wandering to hidden coves, and your evenings with a glass of local wine beneath the stars.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
Santanyí is the kind of town where life still moves to the rhythm of the market bell. Twice a week, its Plaza Mayor bursts into colour with stalls of olives, handwoven baskets, and sun-dried tomatoes. Cafés spill out onto cobbled streets, galleries beckon you in, and lemon trees scent the air. From here, the best of Mallorca is within easy reach: the powdery stretches of Es Trenc, the turquoise coves of Mondragó, and the wild romance of Ses Salines. Staying at Can Ferrereta means you’re not just visiting Mallorca – you’re slipping into its slower, more soulful side.
At Ocre, dinner unfolds in a vaulted wine cellar where history literally etches itself into the stone walls. The menu is proudly Mediterranean, letting local produce take the spotlight – think saffron rice with black pork cheeks or market-fresh vegetables given star treatment. For something breezier, La Fresca serves sun-kissed plates and cocktails by the pool, best enjoyed barefoot and unhurried. Whether it’s a Pomada Mallorquina in hand or a taste of sobrasada on warm bread, every bite tells you exactly where you are: in Mallorca, and very lucky indeed.
Sa Calma lives up to its name with an indoor pool shimmering in soft light, a hammam swirling with steam, and treatments that bottle up Mallorca’s natural riches. Picture olive oil, almond essence, rosemary, lavender, and citrus woven into rituals that feel both grounding and indulgent. You’ll float out as if the island itself had wrapped you in a warm embrace. If you prefer your zen under the sky, the garden awaits with yoga mats rolled out for you beneath the whispering palms.
Beyond the poolside languor, Can Ferrereta tempts you into a rhythm of exploration. Borrow a bike to cycle past stone villages and almond groves, or let the staff chart you a path to secret coves only locals whisper about. Within the hotel, art lovers can curate their own trail through nearly a hundred works scattered across its rooms and gardens. And for those who believe the best journeys are made on the tastebuds, Saturdays bring a chef’s market menu, an edible postcard of Santanyí’s freshest produce.
