We give you our warmest welcome to our little paradise in which we have created a very special atmosphere, outside the conventional hotel route, for those who wish to disconnect from the universe of schedules and services and immerse themselves in the placidity and beauty of a place in the middle of nature, which provides us with disconnection from our routines and is both far and close to everything.
ou can enjoy the surroundings on foot and by car. It is recommended, however, to have a car. We are on the GR221 Hiking Route that leads to mountain bars and restaurants and the Alaró Castle and other excursion routes of great cultural, historical and natural interest through the Serra de Tramuntana, a World Heritage Site. The charming town of Alaró is a 3-minute drive and a 20-minute walk downhill (up to Son Penyaflor, half an hour). In Alaró there are restaurants with local cuisine, bars with terraces and ovens with character that provide Mallorcan bread and our beloved ensaimada. The Alaró market is organized every Saturday in the town square.
We, the Son Penyaflor family, do not stop asking ourselves how to contribute to the well-being of all of us who live in Son Penyaflor, whether for a few days or for a lifetime. And we remain focused on this. Thank you.
Alaró is located in a beautiful green valley protected by two rocky mountaintops shaping an entrance to the area. Alaró is popular among a vast audience due to its fantastic location between mountains and infrastructure, making it easy to have any kind of vacation you could desire. There are a number of interesting points of interest to discover in Alaró, such as the rocky castle of Castell d’Alaró, the Sant Bartomeu parish church, the first electricity tower of the island, the buildings of Son Guitard, Sa Bastia, Casa de la Vila and Can Jaumico, all evidencing the rich cultural heritage that makes Alaró worth visiting.
