Not just as Mallorca\u2019s newest luxury hotel, but as a monumental part of Mallorcan history that has been meticulously restored, and is steeped in heritage on an incredible 1300-acre estate bursting with almond and olive groves, vines and citrus fruit trees; as well as five kilometers of Mediterranean coastline.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group said, \u201cToday is a momentous day as we open our beautiful hotel, Son Bunyola. The northwest coast of Mallorca has long held a very special place in my heart, after first visiting as a young boy with my Mum and Dad. The historic finca on a UNESCO World Heritage site was just waiting to be lovingly brought back to life, and the team has taken so much care to restore it. I truly believe we have the very best and most unspoilt location on the island with five kilometers of its own pristine coastline, set within 1300 acres of exquisite land with the stunning Tramuntana Mountains as its backdrop. There\u2019s also olive groves, vineyards, and some of the best hiking and cycling in the world. I\u2019m hoping it will bring back the magic to those who can remember our original boutique hotel in Mallorca from the early days.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The design <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Boasting 26 rooms and suites, all perfectly styled by local interior designer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rialto_living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rialto Living<\/a> who have brought a slice of Mallorcan charm with the collection\u2019s renowned home from home character, Son Bunyola Hotel has been elegantly designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grasreynesarquitectos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local architect Gras<\/a> and encompasses the main finca and the Tafona; along with several annexe buildings.
