The Finca: Your Retreat Haven

Leaving the main road from Sóller in the direction of Deià, you drive down a winding path through an olive grove, with its century-old, enchanting trees to arrive at the estate, whose name means "the House that Connects" in the local dialect. Carefully renovated in 2019 the two16th-century fincas, (traditional mallorquin mansions), are full of character and original flair. They were originally built by a captain who had turned his back on the oceans. The mast of his last ship became the roof beam of the spacious reception area in his home.


In an elegant yet casual atmosphere of well-being, deeply immersed in a serene natural setting you will feel perfectly at home. After practice in the open air shala, as you lie by the turquoise pool, enjoying the beautiful Mediterranean garden landscape, you will hear only the bells of the sheep, the song of the birds and the gentle breeze in the trees. Paradise is truly at hand.


The 2 adjacent manors are surrounded by multiple terraces and peaceful and scenic outdoor seating areas, as well as the open air yoga shala, outdoor treatment space and a petanque court.
