Zafiro Hotels is set to open the doors of Son Sabater by Zafiro in Mallorca in June 2023.

The property, which is located at the foot of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains, comprises 12 guestrooms and three villas, as well as a garden, an outdoor and indoor pool, and a restaurant. The hotel’s estate dates back to the 16th century, and is listed as part of the historical heritage of Sa Pobla. Its traditional building has been renovated by interior designer Marga Rotger using local materials throughout, including Mallorcan stone.

The hotel’s launch heralds the arrival of a new brand from Zafiro Hotels, the Zafiro Boutique Collection, which places a focus on ‘slow living’ by offering a small amount of rooms in rural settings. “We invite travellers to discover a new kind of hospitality that celebrates a connection with the surrounding nature and rural authenticity,” says Antonia Plomer, CEO of Zafiro Group. “This agrotourism hotel is an incomparable destination for travellers seeking a life-enriching experience in the heart of Mallorca.”

Son Sabater will provide an opportunity for Zafiro Hotels to showcase its commitment to environmental sustainability, carrying out responsible farming activities on an estate which features a 4-hectare Balearic oak-tree forest, a carob-tree plantation and a wide range of native species of flora. The farm has also implemented environmentally friendly practices such as a self-contained water supply to minimise its environmental footprint.
