Son Menut is a rustic estate on the island of Majorca, designed for and adapted to high-standard equestrian tourism. They are located in the Son Negre countryside, five kilometers from Felanitx, in an area steeped in rural tradition and history.
The continued preservation of these is what has helped maintain the region's rustic charm and romantic setting, including a commitment to the natural environment and local wildlife. At Son Menut, you will find a quiet, laidback atmosphere, with authentic Mediterranean cuisine and a close and friendly service forming the heart of your Majorcan experience.
Son Menut started in 1993 as a stud farm, though with every passing year, they have added amenities and improved their facilities. Today, they are the proud owners of a charming country hotel, a riding school with more than 70 horses and their own breeding program, and a restaurant where they showcase their own Dexter meat.
They also offer various horseback activities and accommodation in modern or rustic rooms, with their mission being to enhance active, high-quality tourism on the island in a natural and friendly environment.
At Son Menut, they believe that their greatest trait is the quality and personal service that they offer to their guests. After more than 20 years in this sector, their entire team works day after day to uphold the essence of Son Menut and make all who visit a part of the family.
Son Menut is first and foremost a family business, changing and growing as it passes through the generations - most recently from father to daughters. Pilar became a full-time member of the business in 2017, with Francina joining a few years later in 2019.
The two sisters manage the different areas of agrotourism, playing to their respective backgrounds, training, and passions whilst supporting each other and their family's legacy. Together, Pilar and Francina continue to strive for equine tourism of the highest quality, seamlessly combining their history with modern practices and techniques to offer a truly unique experience.
Sustainability and the natural environment feature prominently in their vision of Son Menut, adding to the already long history of friendly and familiar service.
While the various agricultural components of the business, not to mention the sheer number of animals, do present their own challenges, the sisters are sure to tell you that Son Menut has many ways to bring a smile to their faces, and yours as well. Son Menut is an open and multidisciplinary space where everyone feels at home.
After renovations and improvements made to Son Menut in 2017 and 2018, they have new, beautiful, and spacious rooms with balconies and stunning views of the terrace, riding arenas, and vineyards.
Please let them know if you have requested a late check-in (after 18:00) and be aware that the Son Menut's reception and restaurant close at 22:00. If they do not know your arrival time, they will not wait around for you. If you will be leaving early on a Sunday (before 09:00), you must pay at the reception on Saturday and can have breakfast at 08:00 before leaving.
If you will be leaving on a Sunday before 08:00, you must also pay on Saturday and can ask for a cold breakfast to go. They provide a laundry service for an extra cost. If you would like to use this service, you can leave a bag with your clothes (with a name and room number) at the reception. They will be washed within 48 hours, maximum.
Rooms
The new superior rooms (29 square meters and a balcony) have a capacity of up to four people. They are located next to the main building and above the restaurant’s dining room.
Each room is equipped with a satellite television and telephone, Wi-Fi, climate control, an environmentally-friendly mini-bar, water kettle, safety deposit box, bathrooms with shower, towels, amenities, and a balcony as well. These new rooms have a modern style and are designed with an entrance dressing room in which to change after a riding session or trail.
They also have a superior room with accessibility and amenities for people with disabilities (35 square meters and terrace).
The junior suite (41.5 square meters and balcony) is the largest room with a double bed, providing guests exclusivity and additional comforts for their relaxation: comfortable armchairs for lounging, a private Nespresso coffee machine, water kettle, and plush bathrobes to complete the getaway experience.
Like all other rooms, the junior suite is fully equipped with satellite television, Wi-Fi, and other amenities. The junior suite has a maximum capacity of four beds and a cot.
Standard rooms have been upgraded this year to improve your stay. They combine a rustic aesthetic with modern comforts, remaining true to the authentic Majorcan style without compromising convenience. There are a total of six rooms and are available as single or double occupancies.

Program
Son Menut is introducing a short package in June, wherein participants can also choose the type of riding they like best. They believe that at this time of the year, it is a good opportunity for a short trip to Mallorca wherein you can enjoy a good temperature and a pleasant atmosphere in nature.
This cannot be combined, i.e., the lesson hours will be all of the same type. Please remember that for jumping or dressage lessons, a minimum of six years' regular riding experience is required.
For equikinetic, no experience is required, and in the case of the beginner, it is convenient to know the years of riding so that Son Menut can organize more advanced or more basic lessons (according to the guest's level).
They would like to inform you that both the yoga teacher and the person who is going to give the skincare workshop with natural products (Ringana brand) speak English. No yoga material is required.
Son Menut also has special packages for non-riders. If you would like someone who does not ride a horse to accompany you during your stay, please do not hesitate to send an inquiry.
If you wish to, you can add more riding lessons, a massage, or enjoy the swimming pool. If you don't want to rent a car for those days and relax completely, they can also help you with their airport transfer service.
Places are limited. What are you waiting for to give yourself a well-deserved break?
Here goes the itinerary of the getaway:
The three nights' package would be:
- Monday - Arrival day, Son Menut tour in the afternoon and dinner included (they recommend to get a flight that arrives before 14:00)
- Tuesday - Yoga and mindfulness session in the morning and one-hour riding lesson; skin care treatment in the afternoon (breakfast, lunch, and dinner included)

Location
The retreat will take place in Felanitx, Mallorca, Spain. Son Menut is situated in the countryside of Felanitx, 40 kilometers from Palma de Mallorca.
Mallorca has some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean! Why? The seabed is rich in posidonia (seagrass meadows), which oxygenate and clarify the water. Therefore, it is not surprising that the island is popular with diving enthusiasts.
Everyone on the island speaks Majorcan, the official language, but everyone can speak Spanish. There are many different nationalities in Mallorca, which means many different cultures.
