Son Rullan
Stone walls, mountain quiet, sea views
History announces itself in the old stonework at Son Rullan, a 14th-century former Templar monastery set among olive trees in Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana. The estate retains its original structure, giving the place a more atmospheric, lived-in character than a purpose-built retreat hotel. Its eight-bedroom house opens onto a semi-wild garden and a pool with Mediterranean views, while the coast near Deià is less than two miles away. The setting shifts between mountain quiet and the pull of the sea, with historic architecture at its center. Son Rullan is presented as a retreat venue, but its particular meditation tradition and daily program are not defined here, so the experience may depend on the retreat dates you choose. For travelers drawn to old buildings, rugged scenery and space to pause, the surroundings make a memorable backdrop. Ask the host about retreat schedules, meals and current rates before making plans.
