The detail

Nestled in the southeast of Mallorca, facing the sea and surrounded by olive and orange groves, this magnificent estate offers the ideal setting for holiday and business stays. Whether you are planning a magnificent Mediterranean wedding or a luxury getaway for a large group of family or friends, this stunning setting will provide the perfect backdrop for any gathering. Dating from the 14th century, La Possessió has been exquisitely restored with painstaking attention to detail while preserving its traditional authenticity. It features all the elements of comfort and style that make staying at this luxurious home a unique experience whatever the time of year. And at just a 45-minute drive from Palma airport, you’ll be there soon after your plane touches down.

The interiors preserve the traditional character of Spanish architecture, with hidden, shady porches, patios with characteristic Mallorcan arches and details that invite you to pause and appreciate the past wherever you look.

You will find a selection of 20 suites, double and family rooms each with an ensuite bathroom, private lounge or terrace and far-reaching views of the sea or the mountain. Each of them is uniquely stylish and captures the authenticity of the estate with rustic beams, stonework and traditional furnishings. Sumptuous bedding and warm relaxing colourways add to the tranquil ambience.

There are a number of fabulous communal spaces where you can chill out, relax, sunbathe and eat. You might want to choose a sunny patio for some sunbathing or prepare a feast to eat in one of the grand dining areas. In the winter, gather around the open fire in one of the welcoming lounges and enjoy the company of your guests. Whatever your mood and whatever the weather, you are sure to find an area to suit you.

The ground floor houses the 'Gran Celler' with its original vaults and old chapel. This has been transformed into a multi-functional space with adjacent rooms of various sizes, ideal for celebrations, meetings or special occasions.

The estate is set in two hectares of beautiful grounds where you’ll find yourself surrounded by olive groves and lush greenery. Lie back on a comfortable lounger by the solarium pool next to the orchard, savour the scent of the aromatic plants and maybe pick a few oranges and lemons for your gin and tonic.

If you can bear to leave this slice of Spanish paradise, you’ll find plenty to do. A short trip will take you to the nearby golf course and vineyard or there is horse riding, cycling, running and hiking locally if you’re feeling more energetic.
