Finca Serena ★★★★★

Wander through 40 hectares of burgeoning olive trees and sweet-scented lavender under the dazzling Balearic sun, and you’ll stumble upon a place of unparalleled stillness: Finca Serena. As you approach this Spanish haven, you shall be greeted by the whisper of a gentle breeze through the luscious leaves of the vineyard, at which moment you will begin to understand the true meaning of serenity.

The building’s natural stone walls and soft archways, adorned with delicate magenta flowers, encompass original features that retain all the charm and authenticity of the 18th-century country estate. The minimal, organic décor reflects the philosophy of the Finca Serena experience, which orbits the idea that simplicity, nature and peace are the essential ingredients for luxury. The sumptuous white suites embrace delicate hues of pebble grey and stone which contrast against the green plains that flourish beyond the picture-frame windows. Rich, wooden furnishings invite a warm ambience into the room, whilst earthy fabrics engender a traditional feel, redolent of the history of this refined finca.

In the morning, once you are able to draw yourself away from the luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets that envelop you, open the French doors of your Garden Suite and walk out onto the terrace, where, amongst the lush trees, you can view the patchwork fields peppered with white houses.

After breakfast, truly immerse yourself in this relaxing oasis with the hotel’s Unico SPA. Here, you have the opportunity to unearth a profound sense of tranquillity and reconnection with nature in a way that simply isn’t possible in the chaos of daily life. After luxuriating in a massage from the alluring array of treatments, head to the hammam room to further detox your body or join a Yoga class to find a greater connection with your inner self. The spa also offers a deluxe heated pool, where stormy slate-grey tiles introduce a depth to the room, nurturing a richer sense of self-grounding and calm.

After a day uncovering the jewels that Mallorca has to offer, indulge in the simple menu of Restaurant Jacaranda, where natural produce born from the earth of Finca Serena is used. Savour the tantalising flavours in the stately restaurant, or outdoors, on the charming terrace, where cobbled patios create the dreamy, romantic ambience that comes to mind when one pictures the magnificent Mediterranean.

Unwind and discover the best version of yourself and Mallorca in the five-star haven, Finca Serena.
