Son Sant Jordi

Sitting right on the quiet Plaza de Sant Jordi in the historic heart of Pollenca, Son Sant Jordi is a four-star boutique hotel built into a cluster of beautifully restored 17th-century townhouses. It operates on a bed and breakfast basis- with half board available- and suits couples, cyclists, and active travellers who want a genuine taste of Mallorca rather than a resort experience.

What makes it special is the contrast. Out front, you're in a real Mallorcan town with cobblestones, local shops, and everyday life. Out back, there's a walled garden with a pool, resident parrots, and a turtle pond. Rooms feature original stone walls, exposed beams, and canopy beds. It's characterful, calm, and genuinely different. 🌿

Why book Son Sant Jordi?

• 🏛️17th-Century Character Throughout-

  Every room carries original stonework, exposed beams, and rustic furnishings that no modern buildings can replicate. You can actually feel the history here.

• 🌿A Hidden Garden at the Back-

  Step through to the rearside of the property, and it's a completely different world. It’s a private walled garden with a seasonal pool, sun loungers, talking parrots, and a turtle pond. Guests often say it's the best surprise of the stay.

• 🚴A Cyclist's Base Camp-

  Son Sant Jordi has a secure professional bike garage with maintenance tools, and the team can point you towards the best routes.

• Breakfasts Worth Getting Up For-

  Fresh coffee, homemade fruit jams, local ensaimada pastries, and made-to-order eggs every morning. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available on request, and in warmer months it's all served in the garden.

• 🚶Everything Within Walking Distance-

  Artisan shops, independent galleries, local restaurants, and the lively Placa Major are all a three-minute walk away. The beach is around ten minutes by bus. You really don't need a car to have a wonderful time here.

How far is the nearest beach?

The sandy shores of Port de Pollenca and Cala Sant Vicenc are both around 5 to 6 km away. Roughly a ten-minute drive or a short hop on the local bus from the Can Berenguer stop, just 300 metres from the hotel. 🏖️

Distance from the airport

Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is approximately 60 kms away, around 45 to 50 minutes by taxi or hire car along the Ma-13 motorway. 🛫

Room types

Son Sant Jordi has 18 individually styled rooms and suites spread across three interconnected historic buildings. Every room includes free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, satellite TV, a mini-fridge, tea and coffee facilities, a hairdryer, and a private safe. 🛏️ Please note that while the main building has a lift, some rooms in the annex properties are accessed via narrow historic staircases and are not suitable for guests with mobility requirements.

  A noticeable step up in space at around 30 m², with king or twin bed options and views across the walled garden or the old town rooftops. Still atmospheric, but with a bit more room to breathe.

  Generous multi-room apartments of 58–60 m² in the annex buildings, ideal for families or small groups. Each has a fully-fitted kitchenette, separate master bedroom, and a private terrace. These can be accessed via historic staircases rather than a lift.
