Finca Es Rafal

Set in the dramatic foothills of the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana, Finca Es Rafal is a stunning luxury villa that champions the “Slow Living” philosophy. Located just a short stroll from the vibrant, authentic village of Alaró, this sprawling estate offers a rare blend – the absolute seclusion of a private 60,000-square-metre farm combined with the effortless accessibility of village life.

A cypress-lined alley leads to the villa, culminating at a traditional Mallorcan stone façade that glows honey-gold in the Mediterranean sun. At the heart of the villa’s grounds, an expansive saltwater pool is surrounded by manicured lawns and soft white loungers, while a large outdoor jacuzzi serves as the perfect vantage point for sunset aperitifs.

Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor dining options, with several al fresco settings available throughout the grounds. These range from quiet terraces and tree-shaded tables to a wooden picnic table located near the wood-fired oven in the gardens.

Es Rafal is a “living finca” in every sense. The estate is a working farm that produces almonds, carobs, olives, and medicinal-grade honey. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the rhythm of the land, sampling the estate’s own artisanal olive oil or gathering fresh eggs from the resident hens. The lush gardens are a sensory delight, featuring lavender-lined walkways, aromatic rosemary bushes, and citrus orchards.

For families, the estate offers an enchanting “fairytale” element. Shetland ponies, sheep, and donkeys roam the grounds, and children can spend their afternoons picking vegetables in the kitchen garden or strawberries from the field.

Within the grounds, guests can also enjoy a private tennis court with basketball hoops, outdoor fitness equipment, mini football nets and table tennis.

While the villa exterior honours the island’s heritage with its arched doorways and classic shutters, the interiors have been masterfully reimagined for the modern aesthetic. Organic textures create a homely feel, with natural oak flooring, exposed wooden beams, and cool linen fabrics in a palette of soft whites and earthy tones.

The main living space features high ceilings and vast sliding glass doors flooding the room with golden light. The adjoining conservatory is the perfect place to enjoy delicious meals or a morning coffee prepared in the fully equipped farmhouse kitchen.

The villa comfortably sleeps eight guests across four exquisitely designed en-suite bedrooms. The highlight is the stunning master suite with its private lounge area, vast bathroom, and Juliet balconies offering sprawling garden views. For those seeking additional privacy, a separate, one-bedroom guest house offers its own kitchen and living area, nestled within a rose garden.

Finca Es Rafal is the perfect choice for guests who seek a connection to the land without sacrificing luxury. This unique villa is a place where history, nature, and modern refinement coexist in perfect harmony.
