Location

The picturesque mountain village Puigpunyent sits at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains to the northwest of the Balearic capital Palma de Mallorca. From Palma´s city centre, it is a comfortable 20-minute drive through pine and evergreen oak forests and past olive, almond, orange and carob groves. Puigpunyent´s valley is believed to have been one of the first inhabited areas on the island. This is apparent with the amount of historical sites in its proximity, including the famed former country mansion turned luxury hotel Gran Hotel Son Net. Puigpunyent offers all daily services such as grocery shops, markets, banks, nice cafes, restaurants and bodegas. The nearby 2.5 million m² nature park La Reserva Puig de Galatzó is an absolute highlight in the area offering not only a stunning landscape with native fauna and flora but waterfalls, caves and an array of animals including brown bears, ostriches, wild donkeys and more. Whether you like to discover the many trails for cyclists and hikers, appreciate wine tastings at a family run vineyard, enjoy the local culinary offerings or attend one of the many festivals – Puigpunyent offers something for everybody! The village is the ideal destination for those looking to combine a rural escape and the authentic way of Spanish life with easily accessible city amenities.
