Sip local Manto Negro in the cobbled courtyards at Zoëtry Mallorca, a rural resort (where you can go all-inclusive) set within the sweeping 400-year-old Sa Torre estate. Its stellar restaurant grabs the headlines, and the estate’s neo-Gothic chapel and 15th-century windmill dominate the ‘Gram – but there are quieter charms, too: while away your days in the hotel’s pools, spa, and on long ambles through the kitchen garden and groves of orange and olive.

Our favourite rooms
Muse the meaning behind the coat of arms adorning the Renaissance-era fireplace in the Tornamira Elegant Suite, illuminated so marvellously by chandelier.
Poolside
Encircled by drystone walls and bathed in dappled sunlight, the main pool is also where you’ll find the Es Clot restaurant and bar, for all-day poolside dining, healthy snacks, and cocktails. The adults-only pool has cabanas and sunloungers, and inside the Pure Spa is a heated pool with hydrotherapy circuit.
Spa
The menu at Zoëtry Mallorca’s Pure Spa has been crafted in conjunction with Barcelona skincare specialists Natura Bissé, and all treatments use their eco-friendly products. Eucalyptus-scented Turkish baths, a sauna, hammam, and a yoga studio offering private and group classes may be all you need, but the spa’s signature therapy is the 80-minute Diamond Well Living Experience, which is followed by a thermal hydrotherapy circuit. A gym kitted out with Life Fitness equipment completes the wellness line-up.
Packing tips
Threads suitable for cycling: the pleasingly flat farmland near Zoëtry Mallorca is picturesque and pedal-friendly.
Also
‘La Gran Christiana’, the estate’s meticulously restored 19th-century chapel, is an impressive spot in which to tie the knot. Let the in-house wedding planner handle the details.
The property caters primarily for adults, but little Smiths are welcome and under-11s are charged as children.
Sustainability efforts
Zoëtry Mallorca has been Biosphere Certified by the UNESCO-backed Responsible Tourism Institute, and the headline Andreu Genestra restaurant has been awarded a Michelin Green Star for being at the forefront of industry sustainability. Produce is plucked from the 2,500 sq m kitchen garden, and what can’t be grown on site is island-sourced; even the hotel’s energy is home-grown, supplied by the resident solar farm.
Aim for the cobbled courtyard at Andreu Genestra, as the balmy evening breeze lightly rustles the olive trees.
Dress Code
Smarter threads for evening goes with the sense of occasion at Andreu Genestra, but still-dripping swimmers will pass muster at Es Clot.
Hotel restaurant
Zoëtry Mallorca has its own Michelin-starred restaurant (making it all the more tempting to book all-inclusive). Its eponymous chef, Andreu Genestra has also been awarded a coveted Michelin Green Star for being at the forefront of environmental responsibility, and its modern haute Mediterranean tasting menu is renowned. Three other restaurants bring a wealth of culinary choice to any stay here. Es Mercat combines cosy traditional decor with a healthy, market-inspired menu. Ses Bovedes Gastro Bar spins out tapas and local wines with aplomb on an alfresco terrace or in a marvellously vaulted dining room, and Es Clot is the woven-lanterned spot for a poolside lunch.
Hotel bar
The Sa Clastra Cocktail Bar heads the impressive grand courtyard and is open all day. Teas, coffees, smoothies, and a menu of light bites gradually blend into cocktails and wines as the day progresses. Come sunset, you’ll find yourself gravitating toward the Cotó Cocktail Bar, a festoon-lit spot on the main terrace, where a resident mixologist whips up cocktails, often soundtracked by live music.
Last orders
Dinner hours at Andreu Genestra (Wednesday to Sunday), Sees Bovedes and Es Mercat are 7pm until 11pm. Breakfast is served at Es Mercat from 7am until 11am. Summer lunches at Andreu Genestra are from 1pm until 3pm. Es Clot is open from 11am until 6pm.
Room service
A dedicated menu of light bites and heartier dishes can be whisked to your door, 24 hours.
Zoëtry Mallorca lolls languidly in the countryside on the Balearic island’s sunny southern plains, between the coast and Llucmajor.
Planes
Palma de Mallorca Airport is exceptionally well connected throughout Europe and is 20 minutes away by car. Transfers are available for an additional charge.
Automobiles
Distances on Mallorca aren’t overwhelming – Palma is under 30 kilometres away – but owing to the rural location, wheels may prove useful should you wish to venture further than the estate grounds during your stay. Parking is free, and there are charging stations for electric vehicles.
Other
Zoëtry Mallorca is easily reached by taxi from Port de Palma de Mallorca, opening a world of island-hopping opportunities throughout the Balearics by yacht or ferry.
Worth getting out of bed for
In Mallorca, you’re never far from a beach. Platja de Cala Pi is the closest cove to Zoëtry Mallorca; its white-sand beach sits at the head of a long natural channel, with rocky cliffs towering high on either side and overhanging pines shading the sea. Cala Marçal and Ses Covetes are broad and open, and the rocky cove at Playa Maioris is fêted for its crystalline waters. Keen cyclists might tackle Sa Calobra’s 270-degree bend (painstakingly constructed into the cliffside from stone), the switchbacks of Coll de Sóller, the island’s sky-high summit of Puig Major, or the dawn journey to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor. Palma is the island’s capital and its 13th-century GothicSanta Maria Cathedral is an unexpected surprise, as is the Moorish-style Royal Palace of La Almudaina.
Local restaurants
It’s unlikely you’ll want to leave this all-frills resort, but a day at true Balearic beachy enclave Mhares Sea Club might tempt you away. It's 10 minutes away by car, and sweeping clifftop views, all-day dining and a sunlounger-lined pool are your seaside reward.
Local bars
The Balearic terroir is unique, and Mallorca has viticultural riches to share. The resort is surrounded by plains of vineyards, and the winery Bodegas Bordoy is a 20-minute amble away, along a quiet local road. Tastings, served with an impressive spread of cold cuts, are available by appointment.
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 provincial resort on Mallorca and unpacked their cheese boards and wine decanters, a full account of their bucolic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Zoëtry Mallorca…
El Molino – a 15th-century windmill of unknown origin – stands tall over the old Sa Torre estate. Along with the spire of the chapel, it’s the first thing that comes into view as you traverse the narrow country lanes on the way to Zoëtry Mallorca.
The estate dates to at least 1369, and the original villa, built in the local finca style but on a scale far grander than most, is now carefully renovated and home to this understated luxury resort.
Amid the rolling fields and endless vineyards, you get a real away-from-it feeling. Yet there’s plenty to occupy the time. The spa, with its hydrotherapy circuit, is impressive in scale and there’s even a FIFA-spec football pitch. Just exploring the estate grounds takes several hours – there are some 56,000 sq m of kitchen gardens, and groves of olive, orange, carob, fig, pine and lavender.
The Andreu Genestra restaurant is the highlight of any stay. It’s a fine place to sit and sip a cocktail, while you muse just who was responsible for the construction of El Molino.
