Es Racó d’Artà

A Wellbeing Retreat Inspired by Genuine Mallorquin Life

Nestled adjacent to a natural park in a serene valley, protected by the mountains, and only a stone’s throw from the picturesque village of Artà and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea, Es Raco d’Arta is an oasis of peace and tranquility. The hotel’s old ‘finca’ dating back to the 13th century has passed through different families over generations and was then abandoned in the 1960s when tourism got a foothold on the island. Restoring the finca brought back to life the long-lost Mallorca where nature, architecture, culture, and gastronomy were deeply rooted in everyday life.

The property is designed and built completely sustainably by owners Antoni and Jaume. All materials are natural and recycled. Energy is generated either through solar panels or by the geothermal system. The 34 suites and cottages have private terraces, some even pools, and are generously spread throughout the grounds. Minimalistic design is completed with contemporary works by Mallorquin artists.

Offering a variety of different experiences, guided by accomplished practitioners, Es Racó d’Artà combines natural beauty and unspoiled nature with a palate of sights, sounds, tastes, aromas and textures, inviting guests to connect through all their senses while embodying the healing experience of being natural. The gastronomy is seasonal and based on the produce from the properties garden as well as from local organic produce available from neighboring fincas on the island.

Mindful living is at the heart of the concept. Guests are invited to explore nature and themselves with guided meditation, yoga, hikes, nutrition and lifestyle consultations, as well as artisan workshops from pottery, art classes to medicinal plants and herbs workshops. Es Racó d’Artà is not a hotel, but a destination for transformation. It is an invitation to being in the present moment, to discover what really is; what is authentic and what is real. Nature is an ever-present part of the experience. A place to be inspired by genuine Mallorquin life. Check in with self and with others; leaning in, deepen, returning to the body, to our senses, to our humanness, fully embodying life here on earth.

The whole property itself is so enchanting... it does feel like you're far far away from the real world..it's as if you're in your own magical bubble. You're surrounded by beautiful views everywhere you look.. and each room we've stayed at has its own charm. The architecture is simple, minimal and clean. It's so inviting.. and the staff is amazing. They're all so friendly..the ones who stood out to me in particular.. natalia (from management I believe) as well as Dani and from the restaurant.. Tom and Luz! You really can't go wrong with anyone you meet on the property.. The breakfast is also amazing.. you get such a big spread of their seasonal fruits and fresh produce, dairy, eggs.. from their backyard & their spa is amazing.. love the sauna! I can go on and on.. It really is a special place :) [...]

The location is breathtaking, nestled in the island’s gorgeous natural surroundings with a calm, relaxed atmosphere that instantly puts you in vacation mode. It feels like its own little world, far from any hustle and bustle. The staff is incredibly warm and makes sure you feel welcome and looked after. The restaurant team, especially Luz and Tom, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Although the cappuccino and espresso weren’t quite to my taste, they immediately offered me a matcha with rice milk instead, which was absolutely delicious—and now, I’m hooked on it! This hotel is a place I’ll want to return to again and again. We’ll definitely be back soon! [...]

Isolated but quiet place to enjoy your get away from cities. Service is attentive and the restaurant on site is the highlight of our trip. The local produce is fresh and cooked in very minimal way. Will definitely come back again in winter time!
