Surrounded by the natural park of "De Llevant", the sixteenth century watchtower & house of Cases de Son Barbassa is situated in a magical setting close to the sea, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This beautifully renovated country estate enjoys a privileged position and history, with 3,000 year old ruins of the Talayotic village of Son Barbassa set amidst its many acres.
Cases de Son Barbassa has been stylishly converted, blending ancient original features with contemporary, modern design and furnishings to create a luxury haven in an idyllic setting. Chic comfort reigns throughout this hotel – in the bedrooms, in the watchtower lounge, in the dining room, on the terraces and even round the large swimming pool.
Surrounded by acres of olive and almond groves and spectacular views, the hotel offers a secluded atmosphere yet is remarkably close to some of the islands best beaches, golf courses and the seven hundred year old fortressed town of Capdepera. Sailing, diving and other water activities can all be arranged locally and there is a horse riding school only 3km away.

On reservation, directions will be sent to you. Located in the countryside, 2km from Capdepera and about a 60km drive from Palma airport (main road via Manacor). It's within 15kms of some very good beaches and golf courses.
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.
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.
