A 1672 Manor Above the Tramuntana
Above the mountain village of Puigpunyent, twenty minutes from Palma but on the far side of a ridge, Son Net occupies a Mallorcan possessió whose palace house is dated 1672. It stood derelict until the hotelier David Stein rebuilt it and opened it as a hotel in 1998; in 2023 the team behind Finca Cortesin reopened it after two and a half years of restoration, with interiors by the Madrid decorator Lorenzo Castillo. Thirty-one keys now sit inside the pink-washed manor and in cottages in the garden, among seventeenth-century courtyards, a spring-fed well and a private chapel. The kitchen cooks out of the estate's own vegetable garden, orchard, olive press and hectare of Malvasia vines.

PUIGPUNYENT | OCTOBER 2026
The Manor at the Head of the Valley, Rebuilt Twice in Thirty Years
Son Net is the kind of hotel where restraint would have felt like a missed opportunity. Heavy curtains, patterned rugs, carved ceilings, antique marble, paintings and dark wood fill the seventeenth-century house without trying to make it feel newly polished. The effect is layered and theatrical, but never detached from the building itself: the stone, timber beams, courtyard, spring-fed well and family chapel all belong to the original estate.
The house dates to 1672 and is a possessió, the traditional Mallorcan manor-estate. After falling into disrepair, it was bought by hotelier David Stein in the early 1990s, who spent nine years restoring it before opening Son Net in 1998 with seventeen rooms. Its most recent restoration, completed in 2023, was carried out by Torras y Sierra Arquitectos under Ángel Verdú together with Madrid decorator Lorenzo Castillo, whose approach was to add layers rather than strip the house back. Today there are thirty-one rooms and suites, each retaining something of the character of the old estate.
What makes Son Net more than a beautifully decorated historic house is the life around it. Just under a hectare of Malvasia was planted in 2006 and is bottled exclusively as Son Net Selección Especial. Organic vegetable and herb gardens, citrus and fruit orchards, century-old olive trees and a small farm keep the estate connected to its agricultural roots. MAR&DUIX occupies the old tafona, or olive press, beneath six-metre ceilings, with the original seventeenth-century machinery still in place. Executive chef Sergi Olmedo describes his cooking as “culinary archaeology” of the Balearics, using the landscape as much as the archive as inspiration.
The spa, added in 2024, takes a quieter approach: a thousand square metres with treatment rooms, a sea-salt indoor pool, Japanese bath, hammam and sauna, with the mountains visible from the gym. Outside, a thirty-metre pool sits among the gardens, with shaded cabanas and a separate children's pool.
Beyond the estate, Puigpunyent is a small agricultural village tucked into the southern slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana, around twenty minutes from Palma. Walking routes lead towards Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller, while the surrounding landscape — shaped by terraces, dry-stone walls and old water channels — forms part of the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana cultural landscape.
Son Net ultimately feels less like a historic building converted into a hotel than a house that has accumulated its layers over time. The seventeenth-century architecture, Castillo's maximalist interiors, the working estate and the mountains beyond all remain visible at once.
