HOSPITALITY

OCRE RESTAURANT

Can Ferrereta, a glamorous 17th-century hideaway in Mallorcan municipality Santanyí, gives a sleek modern edge to Balearic rusticity. This may have once been a farmhouse, but after the transformative efforts of the Soldevila-Ferrer family (who have also done wonders with sister stay Hotel Sant Francesc Singular in Palma), alongside local creatives and artisans, it’s taken on a more cosmopolitan air. Here you can muse on artworks by the likes of Joan Miró, spend an edifying afternoon in a library packed with cult designer books and dine on Med dishes as well crafted as the wall-candy. While a flourishing pool-blessed garden, beatific all-natural treatments in the spa, and organic decor touches in rooms evidence this retreat’s agrarian heritage and fertile surroundings.

ABOUT

A magical retreat in one of Mallorca’s least-discovered areas

This converted 17th-century grand house is full of contemporary comfort – but it wears its heritage proudly on its sleeve. Exposed beams and stone walls are a nod to its rustic roots. Sleek four-poster beds are juxtaposed with furnishings in calming shades. And a carefully-curated collection of local and Spanish art brings splashes of colour throughout.

Spend your days by the landscaped pool, sipping cool drinks from the bar. Salute the bright Mallorcan sun in a yoga class, or get your pulse racing in the state-of-the-art gym. The hotel’s luxury spa, complete with hammam and sauna, is made for indulgence. As night falls, dine under the stars on the restaurant’s Mallorcan patio. Then retire to the cosy library for an expertly mixed nightcap.

From Can Ferrereta, explore charming Santanyi, a little slice of authentic Mallorca on the south-east coast of the island. Wander down hidden alleyways before dropping into boutique shops. Sample Mallorcan delicacies at one of its twice-weekly markets. There are plenty of dreamy coves off the coast if you fancy a dip in the ocean. Or just watch the world go by from a courtyard café, soaking up the town’s golden light.
