Sa Tanqueta de Fornalutx—Adults Only, Mallorca
Adults-only boutique hotel with charming apartments, a sundeck, spa treatments, and an outdoor pool
Sa Tanqueta is beautiful, relaxing, spacious, accommodating.....I can't say enough good things about it. We can't wait until we can return!
Overview
Kimkim's Take
- It's hard to beat this hotel's location, set in the charming hillside village of Fornalutx—you can easily explore the quaint town and walk along nearby hiking trails in the Tramuntana Mountains.
- Enjoy your meals at the on-site restaurant serving locally-inspired cuisine, with vegetarian and vegan options available.
- The hotel's small size and intimate ambiance make it perfect for a romantic getaway or peaceful retreat.
- Enjoy views from almost anywhere on the property, including from your apartment, the outdoor pool, and the sundeck.
- The hotel is adults-only, so not an option for families, and it only offers apartments, which might not appeal to all travelers.
Authenticity
Sa Taqueta de Fornalutx is housed in a historic building that dates back to the 17th century, with traditional Mallorcan features such as exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and antique furniture. The hotel is decorated with local artwork and pottery, and the restaurant serves dishes inspired by the island's gastronomy using seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients.Location
Sa Taqueta de Fornalutx is in the charming village of Fornalutx, known for its narrow streets lined with colorful flowers and a picturesque main square. The hotel is a short walk from local shops and restaurants and a 15-minute drive from the beach town of Port de Sóller. You can also explore the nearby hiking trails in the Tramuntana Mountains or visit the historic town of Sóller, just a 10-minute drive away.Rooms & Bathrooms
The hotel features cozy and individually decorated apartments with unique regional touches and views of the surrounding mountains. Some feature balconies or terraces with tables, chairs, and/or sun loungers. Most units accommodate two guests, but there are also two-bedroom apartments that sleep up to four guests, which works well for small groups or families with older children (it's an adults-only hotel for those above the age of 16). Bathrooms are decorated with colorful tiles and offer complimentary toiletries.Other Highlights
Enjoy relaxing by the outdoor pool with its sundeck, loungers, incredible mountain views, and bar. You can also savor locally-inspired and seasonal cuisine at the on-site restaurant. The hotel also offers a cozy lounge and the possibility to book spa services like massages, pedicures, manicures, and reflexology treatments.Like what you see?
