Son Bunyola Spa: Mallorca’s Hidden Gem for Wellness and Relaxation
Having seen the hotel open as part of the Richard Branson/Virgin Limited Edition in Mallorca, I knew it was a must-visit, spa or no spa. Located on the west coast of the island, just 40 minutes from the airport (PMI), the original farmhouse/finca is set on a 1,300-acre estate. Once I booked my stay, I checked out the website and was pleasantly surprised to find they had a small spa.

Why choose Son Bunyola for a luxury spa break?
This hotel boasts an amazing location, and the addition of a spa was an added bonus. The spa is small but perfect for a few days of relaxation. I even convinced ‘Mrs’ TPT to have a back, neck, and head massage too.

The Son Bunyola Spa Review
Spa Facilities to Enjoy During Your Spa Experience
The spa itself features a small reception area a few stairs down from the adjacent recreation rooms, a couple of chairs for waiting, and a wooden cabinet with a decent range of products. The design is muted and stylish, with creams and browns, subtle lighting, and plaster walls.




Spa Treatment Selection at Son Bunyola
The spa offers a range of treatments, including my full-body Tramuntana Massage, which combines classic techniques, stretching, and deep tissue pressure to relieve muscle tension and restore balance. Other treatments include neck/shoulder and back massages, and the signature treatment "The Magic of the Olive Tree." Additionally, they offer body treatments, face therapies by Olivier Claire, and a selection of nail treatments.
Spa Location
Located off The Salon on the lower level of the original Finca building, the spa was a pleasant surprise. My treatment was excellent, the therapist was skilled, and the massage bed was extremely comfortable.

The spa treatment room
There are two treatment rooms: a couple’s suite with a shower for longer treatments and another single room, also with a shower.
The treatment - what was it like?
Excellent therapist and good treatment. With the longer massage time, I do just wish there was the perfect bed where your face doesn’t start to feel a bit of pressure.

You can find my detailed hotel review here, and I’ve also posted a YouTube video detailing my experience of the location, accommodation, food & drink, and spa/facilities & more.
Son Bunyola Spa: The Highlights
There were so many highlights of my spa experience at Son Bunyola and their Spa, including:
Location: Easily accessible on the lower level of the hotel, with close-by lift access from our Tower Suite 19.
Booking: Easy to book in advance by email, with a good selection of treatments available
Presentation: Though small, the spa is beautifully presented with relaxing treatment rooms.
Facilities: Comfortable massage beds and in-room amenities like the en-suite shower.
Areas for improvement
While I generally focus on the positives, a few improvements could enhance the spa experience:
Relaxation Area: It would be beneficial to have a dedicated relaxation area post-treatment. After my massage, I expected to relax in a designated space but was instead quickly ushered to sign receipts and offered water to take with me. A dedicated relaxation space with refreshments would have been nice.

Final Thoughts on the Spa at Son Bunyola, Mallorca
Overall, despite a small issue with the post-treatment relaxation area, the spa experience was excellent. The treatment rooms were beautifully designed, the therapist was highly skilled, and the massage itself was both invigorating and restorative. Well done, Son Bunyola.
