PAUSE Visits: Ca’n Beneït

A Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of the Tramuntana Mountains !

Mallorca has long been the go-to destination for many, from the party-goers, sun-seekers to the nature lovers. But in recent years, the island has emerged as a magnet for a new kind of traveller, those seeking retreats that blend wellness, nature, and authentic local experiences. Whether it’s for mental well-being, self-discovery or simply an escape from the chaos of everyday life, Mallorca’s rustic charm makes it the perfect setting for rejuvenation, and one of Balearics’ retreats that capture this spirit is Ca’n Beneït.

Ca’n Beneït is a holistic wellness retreat committed to sustainability and heritage. Set on a 175-acre estate in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located approximately 30 mins from Palma. Nestled near the quaint village of Binibona, it’s surrounded by almond trees, ancient olive groves, and stunning panoramic mountain views, offering the kind of secluded peace that feels worlds away from the island’s hustle and bustle.

The hotel is housed in a converted 17th-century manor, and while it retains much of its traditional Mallorcan architecture, it has been transformed into a stylish haven that blends rustic elegance with contemporary comfort. Minimalist, Mediterranean, and warm, it draws heavily from the landscape outside, stone walls, lime-washed surfaces, terracotta floors, and textiles in natural hues create a calm and tactile environment. It’s a place where luxury doesn’t shout, it whispers, and the overall feeling purposeful and serene.

Rooms & Suites:

Ca’n Beneït offers just ten rooms and suites, making it an exclusive, intimate experience, each unique with vistas of the Serra de Tramuntana. From a cosy Comfort double room to the spacious and stunning 861sqft Panoramic suite that features a living area, and private terrace overlooking striking views, each room is warm and inviting making the ideal home away from home. Natural materials, neutral tones, original wooden beams, and curated antiques are just some of the design and interior detailing you can expect from the rooms and suites. Modern luxuries that focus on sustainability like plush bedding, a well stocked mini-fridge and room service are also some of the thoughtful amenities included. The overall feeling is one of understated elegance, where every detail is purposeful and serene.

Dining & Drinking:

Ca’n Beneït’s restaurant, Mirabona, champions garden-to-table cuisine, sourcing ingredients from its own or from nearby producers. Expect seasonal Mediterranean dishes with modern touches, highlights being the slow-cooked lamb, stuffed chicken and freshly baked bread, and garden-fresh vegetables prepared with finesse. The setting, whether on the panoramic terrace or in the cozy dining room, enhances every meal experience with a generous side of serenity. A hearty a la carte breakfast is served daily and is included with every stay.

Amenities and Experiences:

Ca’n Beneït doesn’t aim to overwhelm with amenities and experiences, instead, it is designed for relaxation with the focus being on the rooms and suites as a place of retreating within the retreat . Features include an infinity pool with sweeping views, bicycles for exploring nearby trails, and a small 200 year old chapel where open air yoga sessions are held. Guests can also sign up for activities such as hiking and running and experiences like wine tasting, sailing and more.
