Setting

Between sea and serra

And relax… The serenity of the Lodge Mallorca’s bucolic setting is your cue to breathe deeply, switch off and revel in the scenery. This boutique stay of rustic-luxe suites not far from Pollença is a luxurious launchpad for hikes in the Serra de Tramuntana and days at a choice of sandy beaches along Alcúdia Bay. Your country-estate retreat, however, is also a boon to return to – with a courtyard Mediterranean restaurant and bar and a choice of photoshoot-worthy pools, set against a mountain backdrop.

As with any new destination, establishing the grounds in all their olive-tree-toting, lavender-scented glory, is going to take time.

Our favourite rooms

To be at the heart of the Lodge Mallorca, opt for a Lodge Suite – what it lacks in private outdoor space it makes up for with proximity to the main pool, bar and restaurant. The main house also has Deluxe and Master suites-with-a-view options. Set away from the main house, Pool & Garden Suites centre around a substantial second pool in a peaceful spot on the estate and come with traditional Mallorcan patios. For dips entirely undisturbed, you’ll want to book the Private Pool Suite.

Poolside

A trio of pools is tucked into the estate: the main event is on a terrace below the original house and restaurant, infinity-edged with estate views on one side, parasol-shaded loungers and a pool bar on the other. A second, sizeable pool, edged by a lounger-dotted sun terrace, is open to all but handiest for Pool & Garden Suite guests. The third pool is smaller but exclusively yours when you book the Private Pool Suite, secluded in a serene spot in the grounds.

Spa

The Lodge Mallorca’s one-room wellness area promises relaxing face and body therapies using Natura Bissé and Comfort Zone amenities in a peaceful setting. To complement the running and cycling tracks that ribbon the estate, there’s a well-kitted-out gym with Technogym machines and free weights.

Packing tips

Outdoorsy threads for hikes into the Tramuntana and off-shore adventures from Playa Ponderosa, plus a selection of Mediterranean-inspired finery for courtyard dinners under the stars.

Also

Neighbouring towns and roads are visible in the distance, but luckily the estate's generous sprawl means peace and privacy are still easily found.

Children

Not one for little Smiths, the Lodge Mallorca is an adults-only stay.

Sustainability efforts

The Lodge Mallorca repays Mother Nature for its pristine surroundings with a raft of measures to reduce its impact on its rural locale in the island’s northeast, where the Serra de Tramuntana edges eastwards towards the coast. The new buildings on the estate were constructed with local materials where possible; everything from light sensors to water-saving plumbing, solar panels and a water-treatment system has been installed to cut bills and conserve island resources. Bespoke bath products are made with estate-grown carob, olive oil and lavender. This bucolic boutique stay is keeping it local when it comes to kitchen suppliers, too. And you won’t find any single-use plastic straws or plastic-bottled water here either.

Dress Code

There are just two stage directions for dining under the stars at Singular: bring glamour and layer up.

Hotel restaurant

In the main house, Singular is the Lodge Mallorca’s all-day restaurant – floor-to-ceiling windows flood this Scandi-modern dining room with light and there are tables outdoors, too, dotted around a pretty courtyard above the main pool. Singular has yet to open at the time of writing, but we can’t wait to see what chef David Martinez has in store: cuisine is tipped to be Mediterranean in focus, with an emphasis on fish and locally sourced meat cooked over wood-fire and accompanied by a wine list of European greats.

Hotel bar

Spanish and pan-European bottles star on a wine list designed with grilled fish and meat in mind, plus there are spritzes and G&Ts for courtyard apéros, too. 

Last orders

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Room service

A selection of dishes will be available to order to your suite during regular kitchen hours.

Spain

The Lodge Mallorca is on a country estate just outside Sa Pobla, not far from Pollença, with the island’s northeast coastline and Alcúdia a 15-minute drive away and the Serra de Tramuntana serving as a magnificent backdrop.

Planes

Palma de Mallorca is 35 minutes from the retreat by road; private transfers in a Mercedes C Class can be arranged from €120 for two people (one-way).

Trains

The nearest train station is in Sa Pobla, with direct services to Palma de Mallorca (less than an hour away).

Automobiles

The house's remote, rustic location means you’ll need a car to explore beyond the estate and Sa Pobla, and there’s free valet parking in the grounds.

Other

Alcúdia ferry port serves Mahón and Ciutadella in Menorca, as well as Barcelona (a six-hour crossing) or Toulon, France (in 12 hours).

Worth getting out of bed for

Not far from the Lodge Mallorca, Sa Pobla is a quiet town of tree-dotted squares and elegant abodes with a weekly food market held most Sundays, and a handful of awning-shaded cafés and croissanterias to sate caffeine cravings any day of the week. Alcúdia and Pollença are the nearest towns of note – the former is a thriving port with a picturesque bay arcing south towards Playa de Ponderosa, where there’s a beach club. Other tipped beaches include prettily-jettied Playa de Muro, town-side Colonia de Sant Pere and untamed beauty Son Serra de Marina. In Pollença (just inland from Puerto Pollença), mediaeval walls are an impressive clue to the town’s beginnings as a 13th-century Moorish settlement, today a curiosity-pricking cluster of stone-paved alleyways and honey-hued buildings, among them Baroque beauty and soaringly-ceilinged church Our Lady of the Angels. Or make the climb to survey the scenery from monastery ruins crowning Puig de Maria, just outside the town.

Local restaurants

A short drive from the house, Coves de Campanet has breathtaking views from vine-shaded terrace tables perched over the countryside and perfects the premise that grill is king with enticing plates of snapper, lobster, steak or lamb, all cooked over fire. Tranquil Llubí is a gastronomic dark horse worth venturing to for polished plates: Brut has craft beers, natural wines and kombuchas to accompany its seasonal, locally sourced Mallorcan cuisine in a stylishly overhauled industrial space. In Daica’s traditional Mallorcan dining room, the Pla de Mallorca’s agricultural pantry supplies thoughtfully curated tasting menus of proudly local and innovative plates. For starred fine dining in Alcúdia, Maca de Castro works with local suppliers to riff on island traditions with her own brand of ‘Mallorquina Libra’ cooking: finessed plates at her eponymous restaurant include grilled aubergine with bone marrow, tarragon and peanuts, and skate with sea-fennel hollandaise.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this country-estate stay in the Tramuntana foothills and unpacked their jars of local honey and bottles of anisette, a full account of their Mallorcan break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside the Lodge Mallorca near Pollença…

A country estate freshly planted with carob and almond trees, olive groves and lavender fields – just outside the small Mallorcan town of Sa Pobla – awaits at the Lodge Mallorca, an upscale rural stay of scattered suites, and polished rooms (nearer the main pool and restaurant). It’s a clever set-up that not only promotes peace but also lets the sun-kissed scenery do most of the talking. ‘Linger’ is the subtext to its gym, wellness suite, choice of pools and courtyard bar and restaurant – with options to explore within the grounds courtesy of the hiking and bike trails that ribbon the estate. This island newcomer is the sister destination to fellow Smith favourite, Finca La Serena – yet where its big sister is a polished stay that lends itself to fly-and-flop indulgence, the Lodge Mallorca is more in the spirit of getting outdoors. The geography is just too good for staying put entirely: perched between the Tramuntana mountains to the north and the almost-turquoise Mediterranean on the island’s east coast, this is a nature-loving stay poised for surf-and-turf adventures, even if that turns out to be just a morning saunter around one of the area’s honey-hued hilltop towns…
