Room Recommendation
Which room to book
The Torre Suite occupies the finca's ancient stone tower — a round room with vaulted ceilings, Mallorcan antiques, and windows looking out over the olive groves and mountains in every direction. It is one of the most atmospheric and romantic hotel rooms in all of Spain. The Grand Suites in the main house are extremely generous in space with extraordinary original stone details and private terraces.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival in the Tramuntana
Transfer from Palma Airport (25 minutes through winding mountain roads) to Son Net in Puigpunyent. The arrival at this ancient golden stone finca, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, sets the tone immediately. Take a private tour of the hotel's remarkable art collection, settle onto a terrace with local ensaimada pastry and café con leche, and watch the Tramuntana light change.
Deià & Robert Graves
The nearby village of Deià — a 20-minute mountain drive — is one of the most romantic places in the Mediterranean, a hillside village of stone houses draped with bougainvillea above the sea. Visit the Robert Graves Museum, have lunch at Ca'n Quet with its extraordinary Tramuntana and sea views, and explore the lanes between galleries and artisan studios.
Tramuntana Hiking & Pool
Son Net sits at the gateway to some of Mallorca's finest mountain walking. A guided half-day hike through the Tramuntana olive groves and terraced stone walls, past ancient oratorios and shepherd huts, is Mallorca at its most authentically beautiful. Return for a long afternoon at the pool as the mountains turn gold in the afternoon sun.
Palma de Mallorca
Mallorca's capital is one of the finest small cities in Europe — the Gothic Catedral La Seu rising above the sea, the royal Almudaina Palace, the Passeig des Born lined with 19th-century palaces, and an outstanding restaurant scene. Son Net is 25 minutes from the city. Spend the morning in the cathedral quarter and afternoon in the Es Baluard Museum of Modern Art.
Soller Valley & Orange Groves
The Soller Valley, adjacent to Puigpunyent, is Mallorca's most beautiful agricultural landscape — a bowl of terraced orange and lemon groves enclosed by the highest Tramuntana peaks. Take the vintage wooden tram from Soller down to the Port de Soller for lunch on the harbor, then return through the valley by vintage train from Palma.
Son Net Spa & Private Dinner
Today is for deep luxury. Book a full Son Net spa day — the spa uses Natura Bissé products (a premium Spanish brand) with mountain mineral water treatments. In the evening, request a private dinner in the finca's walled garden by candlelight — the hotel's kitchen produces refined Mallorcan cuisine using local olive oil, almonds, and seasonal vegetables from the estate.
Final Mountain Morning
A last slow breakfast on the terrace with the Tramuntana mountains catching the morning light. Son Net has bicycles available for a final gentle ride through the olive grove lanes of Puigpunyent before your transfer back to Palma.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Son Net is a countryside hotel with no beach — guests who want direct beach access should consider Cap Rocat or Belmond La Residencia instead, or plan day trips to the coast.
The Tramuntana mountain roads can be narrow and challenging to navigate — the hotel's driver service is strongly recommended for exploring rather than self-driving.
Son Net has 30 suites and attracts a discerning international clientele — it is intimate and quiet rather than animated. Couples who want a vibrant social scene should be aware of this.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Gran Hotel Son Net good for honeymooners?
Excellent, particularly for couples who love art, culture, mountain landscapes, and thoughtful luxury over beach resort activity. The UNESCO Tramuntana setting, original art collection, Torre Suite, and profoundly romantic Mallorcan countryside make it one of Europe's finest honeymoon properties for culturally inclined couples.
What is the best time to visit?
April through June and September through October are ideal — warm enough for pool use (22–26°C) without the intense heat and summer crowds of July–August. November through March can be mild and beautifully quiet, perfect for hiking and cultural exploration, but pool season is over.
How far in advance should you book?
Book 3–4 months ahead for summer and 1–2 months for shoulder season. Son Net has 30 suites and fills quickly in high season, particularly the Torre Suite which is the most sought-after room.
Is Son Net adults-only?
No, but the intimate and quiet atmosphere of a 17th-century art-filled finca is naturally couples and adult-oriented. The property lacks the children's facilities of larger resorts.
What is the best room type?
The Torre Suite for the most atmospheric and memorable experience — the round tower room is unlike any other hotel room in Mallorca. Grand Suites in the main house are excellent for couples who prefer more conventional space and comfort with extraordinary Mallorcan interiors.
How do you get to Gran Hotel Son Net?
Fly into Palma de Mallorca (PMI) — well-connected from all major European cities and direct from New York with Iberia. Private transfer to Son Net in Puigpunyent takes 25–30 minutes. The hotel arranges transfers and a house car service is available during your stay.
