Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Push open an unmarked wooden door in La Lonja, and the city hushes: jasmine lifts from a lantern-lit courtyard, and a canopy of ancient trees cools the air. 

Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden is an intimate 24-suite mansion where velvet, oak, and stone meet a rambling private garden—the rarest luxury in old Palma. 

It feels like stumbling upon a noble family’s townhouse and being invited to stay.

What Makes It Special

• Boutique scale (24 suites) spread through a restored historic mansion.
• Large private garden with hidden corners, hammocks, and a slender, mirror-like pool.
• Refined, seasonal dining spotlighting Balearic produce; candlelit tables under the trees.
• Atmospheric spa with low light, warm stone, and bespoke treatments.
• Characterful suites—lofty ceilings, period details, and dreamy beds.

A Day at Can Bordoy

Morning

Sunlight grazes timber beams; you sip mallorquín coffee while sparrows fuss in the ivy. Breakfast arrives on hand-painted ceramics—figs, soft cheese, and warm ensaïmada dusted with sugar.

Afternoon

 Palma’s Gothic lanes are steps away; you wander the cathedral and market, then return to the garden pool, cool as glass. A massage with rosemary and lemon notes resets the day.

Evening

Aperitivo beneath plane trees; the garden glows with lanterns. Dinner might be red prawn carpaccio and herb-roasted lamb, followed by a stroll through La Lonja’s honey-stone streets.

Night

Back in your suite, heavy drapes, crisp linen, and the faint scent of orange blossom from the courtyard; the city hum feels miles away.

Insider Tips for Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden

• Some rooms may feel darker, especially those not facing the garden or with fewer windows.
• Dine once (or more) at Botànic: Even if you plan to explore the city’s dining scene, make time for dinner on-site. 
• The subterranean spa is small but very well curated; it’s ideal if you want a more tranquil wellness moment rather than a huge spa complex.
• Plan your arrival/drop-off: Because the streets are narrow and car access is restricted, coordinate with the hotel for drop-off/pick-up.
• For interior design lovers: Bring your camera—the hotel has many “Instagrammable” corners: things like glass-bottom rooftop pool, lush garden interiors, and dramatic suite furnishings.
