The main buiding from the inner courtyard

Entrance and reception

The hotel is situated in the centre of the small hamlet of Binibona, itself located in the foothills of the impressive Tramuntana Mountains, surrounded by extensive gardens beyond which land belonging to the hotel is farmed to provide much of the produce used in the hotel kitchen. Food and wine are important features of Mallorcan country life, and this is reflected in the interesting menus for dinners that can be taken in the inside the hotel or in the inner courtyard. The Finca Hotel Binibona has an attractive outdoor pool with beautiful views over the central plains and the Sierra de Tramuntana, a heated indoor pool, a fitness room and a tennis court. It is also possible to walk directly from the hotel onto the mountains using maps supplied by the hotel. The hotel also organises excursions to places of special interest, and once a week free mountain walks (with a local guide). On appointment the hotel arranges also riding and tennis coaching or massages and beauty treatments.

Guest comments
My Family and I had a lovley time at Hotel Binibona. The hotel is just as beautiful as the pictures imply. We had a very relaxing time and would recommend the hotel to others seeking a quiet retreat away from it all. It is in a remote location but you can get to the coast in 30 mins. Our 7 month old boy was also made to feel welcome and loved the splashing about in the warm indoor pool. The complimentary bottle of wine was also delicious.

This well-appointed and beautifully decorated hotel is a fabulous retreat for families looking for a quiet, sophisticated environment in which to relax. Our son of 11 years enjoyed swimming, tennis and the frogs. We enjoyed the truly delicious food and wine! However, it helps to speak even just a little Catalan, Spanish or German - that is if you feel the need to talk at all!
