Son Brull Hotel & Spa

Excellent hotel for a few nights away. Service was impeccable. Ambience excellent. Need a car or taxis to visit the town/port/beaches.

We had a fabulous time at Son Brull - 5 nights in total. We had second floor room overlooking vast property and gardens and surround hills and appreciated the size of the room, the welcome bottle of cava, and how well they kept room stocked with an abundance of both still and sparkling water. Pool is nice but showing its age a bit. The patio restaurant area is lovely. Staff throughout, including reception and restaurants, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to Pollenca, and we found it easy to get a cab there and back. If you're a road cyclist, this is the perfect starting point for long rides to Sa Calobra, to Formentor, or through the super system of small roads linking surrounding towns. Their bike hut makes it easy store your bike, whether your own or rented. And the Port of Pollenca has numerous shops that rent high-end road bikes.

My husband and I recently spent 7 nights at Son Brull Luxury Hotel. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful countryside in the Tramuntana mountains and is located 30 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes by car from Pollenca. It’s a stunning historic property that’s been converted into a boutique hotel and clearly had no expense spared in the quality of the architecture, fittings and landscaping. The grounds are extensive and the pool and terrace areas are peaceful and pleasant with a choice of sunloungers / daybeds and magnificent views. For such a relatively small hotel, Son Brull punches above its weight as far as dining options are concerned. This is both in terms of the variety of dining settings and also the extent of menu choices. Furthermore it’s feasible to eat more than once at the fine dining, fixed menu, 365 Restaurant as residents are able to choose from an alternate menu subject to 24 hours advance notice. A real standout at Son Brull is the people. Even before we arrived we were impressed with how quickly emails were turned around and arrangements handled. Every request throughout our stay was actioned perfectly by their lovely natured and helpful team. Overall we had a good stay however, there were a couple of negatives: Bedroom - wardrobe hanging space was practically non existent (only room for five hangers due to the way the wardrobe was constructed) and there was no dressing table with mirror which meant sitting on the edge of the bath to dry hair, apply make-up etc. This is not satisfactory in a hotel that has the price point of Son Brull. Local taxi service - it seems to be very hit and miss as to whether and when you are able to secure a taxi to and from the hotel. It’s apparently the case that taxis are only available to be ordered via an app and that no updates are provided as to when the taxi will arrive. Neither are they pre-bookable in advance. We had to cancel a dinner reservation in Pollenca due to the hotel being unable to secure a taxi for us. On one occasion, we also waited more than half an hour at the taxi rank in Pollenca to return to the hotel at 1pm in the afternoon. Maybe the hotel could consider providing a local shuttle service to give guests certainty of travel to and from Pollenca.
