La Posada del Marques

The luxury 4 star hotel La Posada del Marques lies in a fold of the Tramuntana mountains where it offers spectacular views of the Mallorca valley. Created from a 16th century Mallorquin mansion, the hotel is a magnificent fusion of rustic, baroque and modern that cannot fail to please.

Es Verger is a nature reserve dedicated to the Mediterranean landscape, with holm oaks, olive trees and especially pine woods that that flow from hill to hill, filling the air with their glorious scent. Perched majestically on the hillside, the views from La Posada del Marques roll all the way down to the Valley of Palma, forming the most wonderful backdrop for the pool terrace. The pool and the terrace and gardens that surround it are of course the focal point of outdoor living during the summer, and a further terrace also provides an outdoor restaurant.

The 17 bedrooms and suites were recently renovated, providing ample accommodation and modern comforts alongside their distinctive style. Intricate painted patterns combine with massive stone walls, luxurious fabrics and ornate decorative pieces. Here again, most rooms enjoy the spectacular views of the valley and the mountains.

There is a large comfortable salon with a second large room alongside, both reflecting the same decorative style that runs through the whole hotel. The mirador is a room carefully arranged to make the very best of the glorious view, and finally there is one unique feature: a private chapel with an impressive gilded altar, ideal for weddings.

Meals

The Sa Tafona restaurant is located in an old olive mill. During the years when the hotel was home to the family of the Marqués del Verger, olive oil was produced here from the olives grown in the local area. The old mill machinery (the “tafona” which gives the restaurant its name) is still here, a fascinating conversation piece within the restaurant.
The cuisine is a broad Mediterranean and European style which takes full advantage of the herbs and spices which grow in the garden, for example lamb with rosemary or salmon marinated in wild fennel.
Diners may choose from a la carte or one of the carefully selected set menus. Snacks are also available.
