A Traditional Spanish Finca and Former Oil Press with a Luxurious Edge
Finca Ratxo Hotel is open for the season from March to November
Nestled in the Serra Tramuntana mountains in a nature reserve a short drive from Palma, Ratxó Prime Retreat is a traditional finca with a luxurious, sustainably forward update. Parts of the Finca are original from the 15th and 16th centuries; others are built for modern life. The property’s 25 rooms range from rustic doubles with private terraces to suites with private pools, gardens, and indoor jacuzzis. High ceilings and exposed wooden beams define the space. This beautiful hotel is constantly striving for a more ecologically respectful balance—they have completed goals like eliminating single plastic and are taking concrete measures towards the next steps.
A chef cooks home-grown specialties from the property’s own organic garden and fruit orchard. Two restaurants explore seasonal Mallorcan cuisine—the retreat even makes its beer, wine, and osmotized water. An outdoor pool and sun deck looks out to the reserve and an indoor heated pool is perfect for morning laps. The stone spa is ideal for relaxation—come here for aromatherapy, a grounding massage, or to use the sauna and steam room.
