This elegant four star country estate enjoys an idyllic setting just minutes from some of the east coast’s pretty beaches.
Set off a quiet country lane, the impressive estate sits surrounded by beautifully tended gardens and acres of almond, orange and fig trees. The grand 500 year old buildings have been restored to a high standard, combining ancient charm with refined classic furnishings, giving this relaxing retreat a calm distinguished air.
The rooms are spaciously set out around the building and some can be reached via their own private entrance. All are elegantly decorated with individual artworks and antiques adding a welcoming homely feel. There are plenty of spaces to relax indoors, with two generous lounges, complete with open fires, and a dining room offering a la carte Mediterranean and Mallorquin cuisine. The best place to enjoy a relaxing meal is on the expansive terrace shaded by large cream parasols. The views from here are splendid, looking out over the landscape gardens and open countryside towards the rolling Serres de Llevant.
Son Amoixa is a perfect place to unwind and be pampered. The hotel boasts a sauna, fitness room, solarium, massage & beauty salon along with a tennis court and bicycles. The swimming pool has an atmosphere of peaceful privacy, surrounded by lawns, ancient stone walls and citrus groves. Golf enthusiasts are also well catered for, with a course just fifteen minutes away. Water-sports can also be found at some of the nearby sandy beaches.
10 double rooms (1 double room with disabled facilities) 2 junior suites 2 suites 1 apartment (50m2) All rooms have air conditioning, heating, SAT TV, minibar, telephone and safe. All bathrooms have a bath, shower and hairdryer.

On reservation, directions will be sent to you. Situated in the open countryside off a narrow country lane that connects Manacor to Cales de Mallorca on the coast. Approx 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Palma airport.
Calas Torta, Mitjana and Estreta are secluded sandy beaches at the end of a very bumpy track through the Serres de Llevant. Backed by dunes and mountains they have an unspoilt feel and are less populated because of their location.
Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla are more accessible but still maintain an unspoilt air. The water here is crystal clear.
The east coast is dotted with numerous caves, however the best can be found at the Coves d’Arta, located on the coast about 5km southeast of Arta. The entrance is quite dramatic, with a long staircase leading into a gigantic hole that is the start of a cave system 450m in depth. An English speaking guide is available to highlight all the interests including chambers of stalagmites and stalactites. Other caves are the Coves dels Hams and Coves del Drac.
The ancient hill town of Arta sits against the dramatic backdrop of the rolling Serres de Llevant mountains. The town is a maze of steep alleys and streets that lead up to the hill top chapel of Santuari de Sant Salvador. It’s worth the climb up for the panoramic views of the east and its gentle mountain range.
Colonia de Sant Pere is a low key, laid back resort on the south side of the Alcudia Bay. The resort is sandwiched between the sea and the Serres de Llevant mountains and offers a sandy beach, a harbour and a few eateries on the waterfront.
Capdepera is a pretty ancient town dominated by a medieval fortress. A walk along its walls is a popular past time with amazing views over the east coast.
Manacor is the second largest town on the island (after Palma). It’s an industrial town so doesn’t have the charm of other places, but if you’re looking for furniture or pearls this is the place to visit.
