Experience One of Mallorca's Most Important Fiestas
Gran Hotel Son Net overlooks the historic village of Puigpunyent, where the villagers celebrate the Festa de Sant Roc by organizing events, such aslocal parades where they dress up as giants with fat heads, sardana dancing and 19th-century street games. The festa culminates in a big village party on the night where everyone is welcome.

The Gran Hotel Son Net dates back to 1672 and is one of Mallorca's most important country estates. It is surrounded by mountains on top of a hill overlooking the village of Puigpunyent with spectacular views across the countryside. The hotel makes a great base to enjoy the best of rural Mallorca and yet it is only 15 minutes drive from Palma's city centre.

The hotel is well located to take advantage of many of the island's top sports facilities including five top golf courses within 20-30 minutes drive of the hotel. Horseback riding at a local riding stables approximately 10 minutes drive from the hotel, walking, classic car excursions or a wine tasting bodega visit at the local Son Puig vineyard on the outskirts of Puigpunyent village are just some of the activities at Gran Hotel Son Net.

The estate is divided up into one main building and various out buildings and comprises 31 bedrooms with 7 suites and 24 double rooms and features include a traditional interior courtyard, reception area, the Oleum Restaurant featuring the estate's original olive oil press, wine cellar, conference rooms, gym, bar, beauty salon, various halls, private chapel, outdoor restaurant, landscaped gardens, a spectacular 30 metres swimming pool surrounded by private cabanas plus two additional swimming pools and jacuzzis.
