Where is Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas located?
A scenic 45-minute drive from Palma, the Son Bunyola Estate is located on the island’s stunning north-west coast in the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tramuntana Mountains
To reach the estate we recommend hiring a car for additional flexibility when exploring the area, although of course transfers can be arranged.
The traditional Mallorcan villages of Banyalbufar and Esporles are a few kilometres away from Son Bunyola, providing a variety of restaurants, tapas bars and other local amenities.

The hotel is open from March to November 2025. The villas are available all year round.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
At the hotel, our official check-in time is 3 pm. For the villas, check-in is 4 pm. If you’re scheduled to arrive earlier, do let us know and we’ll try our best to accommodate. The time to say adios is officially 11 am on the day of your departure.
What should I pack?
If you are staying with us in the summer, pack plenty of lightweight clothes, a sun hat, sunglasses, a swimsuit, and comfortable shoes for walking.
Autumnal temperatures still allow for plenty of outdoor swims so don’t put away your swimsuit or shorts just yet!
We’d recommend packing a light jacket and sweater too for chillier autumnal or spring evenings.

Most certainly. The villas are perfect for families with kids while several rooms at the hotel have sofa beds for parents travelling with children.
We don’t operate a set programme of activities, but our team can advise on plenty of fun family activities, recommend child-friendly beaches or how to keep teenagers entertained.
