At Mar Hotels we want you to discover the most picturesque and greenest corners of Mallorca and, for this reason, we propose an impressive tour of gardens around the island. Many of them belong to Mallorcan estates, so it is a good opportunity to take advantage of them and learn about the history of the families who lived on these estates.
Whether in spring or at another time of the year, discover a different way of getting to know the island with these five gardens that you should not miss in Mallorca:
They belong to the old Alfabia estate, one of the oldest in Mallorca, built in Bunyola during the 15th century in the Baroque style. A wide romantic avenue lined with large plane trees and palm trees leads to the most emblematic element of the garden: the pergola with its water features. In the interior garden, with a tropical feel, you will find an impressive pond with water lilies and palm trees, making this garden a marvel not to be missed.
This property is also located in Bunyola, right at the roots of the Tramuntana mountain range. Declared a World Heritage Site, it is one of the most famous and best preserved estates in Mallorca. It has a set of intertwined gardens of Arab origin, each one more impressive than the last, and has been the setting for famous films.
Located next to the Marivent Palace, the official residence of the Royal Family. They are very large and have a permanent exhibition of sculptures by the famous artist Joan Miró. Admission is free.
Located in Deià, they are one of the most acclaimed and beautiful gardens on the island, especially for their breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coast. The gardens feature a marvellous pond and the iconic white Carrara marble gazebo next to the cliffs, which has been witness to countless weddings.
L'Hort del Rei
Located in Palma, under the Almudaina Palace, it is one of the most beautiful and well-kept public and free access gardens on the island. The current garden was remodelled in the 1960s by the architect Gabriel Alomar, based on traditional Andalusian gardens. It stands out for its water fountains, the pergola and the imposing Muslim arch that crosses the pond on the side.
