Dining
Your stay at the hotel is on a **Bed and Breakfast** basis, ensuring you start every morning with high-quality, local flavours. You’ll dine just steps from the refreshing morning breeze in the sun-dappled garden, where the menu focuses on artisan breads, fresh seasonal fruits, and local cheeses. For your other meals, you’ll love being within walking distance of some of the island’s most famous organic cafes and traditional tapas bars, where you can soak up the bohemian atmosphere of San Juan village.
Pools and Spa
When you aren’t out exploring the island, you can head to the garden for a dip in the refreshing plunge pool. It is a tranquil spot to cool off under the midday sun. For those looking for a little extra relaxation, the hotel offers various wellness treatments. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including any massages or beauty treatments, may be subject to additional charges.
Beach
While the hotel is nestled in a traditional village, you are never far from the sea. You’ll be within a 10-minute drive of the stunning Cala San Vicente, a wide sandy beach known for its clear turquoise waters. The nearby coast is also home to several hidden rocky coves, which are perfect if you enjoy snorkelling in a more secluded setting.
Sport and Entertainment
The entertainment here is all about the local lifestyle and nature. You can join guided hiking tours through the surrounding pine forests or browse the famous San Juan artisan market that takes place right outside your door every Sunday. In the evenings, the hotel maintains a tranquil atmosphere, making it a wonderful setting for a quiet drink on the terrace as the sun sets behind the church tower.
Family Amenities
Families who appreciate a slower pace of life will find this a welcoming retreat. While the hotel focuses on peace and quiet, kids will love exploring the garden and the nearby sandy beaches. The hotel can provide cots for your room upon request to make your family stay more comfortable.
