It’s here that Son Julia resides, providing luxurious lodging for those seeking to explore the local area. The island’s airport is a short 10-minute drive away, while the capital city of Palma de Mallorca is easily reached in just 15 minutes.

Accommodations

A relaxing atmosphere welcomes guests to each of the 25 rooms and suites at Son Julia. These accommodations are broken into five categories, ranging from a Superior Room to the spectacular Grand Suite. No matter which category guests choose, amenities like marble bathrooms, air conditioning and flat-screen TVs come standard. An Arabic motif permeates the hotel, and it’s perhaps most apparent in the 300-year-old gardens that feature two outdoor pools and palm trees. One of the pools contains an adults-only area for an added boost of peace and quiet.
