Here are three more rural hotels in Mallorca with restaurants that I recommend.

Jacaranda

This is the restaurant of the 5-star Finca Serena, the appropriately named rural hotel near Montuïri, in the heart of Mallorca. The estate covers some 40 hectares that are home to vineyards, more than 800 olive trees, and fresh-produce plots, but also plenty of space for walking, jogging (if you’re so inclined), and soaking up the peace and beauty of the surroundings.

Jacaranda restaurant is also open to the public for lunch and dinner. In fine weather, you can eat al fresco and savour the extraordinary views as well as the food. Lunch on the front terrace offers a view of the mountain known as Randa and the countryside. For dinner, the rear terrace gives you a view of the sun setting behind the Serra de Tramuntana. There is also an attractive dining room.

Lunch and dinner menus are different, with an à la carte menu at lunchtime. For dinner, there’s a three-course menu (with choices).

Jacaranda has been my Restaurant of the Week for Mallorca Sunshine Radio You can read my full review here.

Finca Serena’s Único Spa has just been named Spain’s Best Resort Spa for the second consecutive year.

Singular

Singular is the restaurant of The Lodge, located in the countryside near the town of Sa Pobla – a fertile area known for its agricultural produce. Like Finca Serena, The Lodge ( a 24-room, 5-star hotel) is part of Spain’s Único Hotels group.

Chefs in Mallorca may have a wealth of hi-tech kitchen equipment available to them but the oldest way of cooking – over a wood fire – is hard to beat for enhancing the flavour of food. Singular, a restaurant in the countryside near Sa Pobla, has made ‘cocina del fuego’ its speciality, serving lunch and dinner by reservation only to the public as well as hotel guests.

Wood from the estate’s numerous almond, olive, carob, and Holm oak trees, adds subtle nuances to the taste of the food cooked here. The estate also produces fruit, vegetables, and honey for the kitchen, which sources additional seasonal and high-quality produce from local farmers and fishermen. 

Wines are from the island and beyond and include those made from native Mallorcan grapes, grown in the vineyards at The Lodge’s sister hotel, Finca Serena. 

Singular restaurant has an attractive dining room, with simple but stylish décor; at night the space is elegant and relaxing with soft lighting and candlelight. In summer, lunch or dinner on the large terrace is a must

Rotana La Reserva

The change of the hotel name from La Reserva Rotana to Rotana La Reserva followed the sale of this beautiful 5-star golf (nine holes) hotel in the fertile Sa Vall area on the outskirts of Manacor.

The hotel is now under Singaporean ownership and I expect the forthcoming renovation of the hotel to be impressive when it re-opens in 2026. This year the hotel will close on November 3rd but in future Rotana La Reserva will be open all year – great news for golfers.

Our favourite place to eat at Rotana La Reserva is on the bistro terrace, with its gorgeous sunset views during the summer. There’s an indoor dining room (in which we’ve never eaten) and a beautiful courtyard, where we enjoyed a Japanese-themed dinner this summer.

At lunchtime, in addition to the à la carte menu, you can choose from a three-course menu at 36€ (without drinks). For dinner, there’s a different three-course menu costing 56€. The Rotana estate also produces its own-label wines.
