With the summer holidays in full swing, couples can escape the crowds and explore authentic Mallorca at Can Ribera by Zafiro, a gorgeous four-star boutique hotel with only 21 rooms in the heart of the island, perfect for those looking for a getaway at a slower pace. Can Ribera is special to the Zafiro brand, as the elegant 19th-century building was the childhood home of Zafiro owners Antonia and Maria Plomer. This familial feeling is felt throughout the hotel with its traditional Mallorcan design and personalised friendly service. At Can Ribera, couples can experience the true bliss of the Balearics, dining al fresco on the terrace, taking a dip in the rooftop pool and sipping sundowners against the mesmerising backdrop of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains. One of the highlights of this intimate hotel has to be the Sky Pool, Can Ribera’s finest asset. Found on the rooftop, the stunning pool has panoramic views of the mountains and Alcudia Bay, offering an idyllic spot to watch the island’s spectacular sunsets. The hotel’s restaurant, Can Ribera by Meel, features Mallorcan cuisine, where the island’s flavours, combined with an exotic flair, take centre stage. Guests can enjoy mouth-watering Iberian ham croquettes or Mallorcan stuffed lamb, before savouring a Torrija with cocoa nib praline.
Can Ribera is in the small town of Muro, which is the ideal place to settle into the Spanish way of life, savouring a glass of wine and tapas in the Plaza Mayor, relaxing in a cafe with a café con leche, or having a siesta in the sun. Couples can try local wines at Son Ramon Winery, or tantalise their taste buds at Son Catiu, producers of some of the finest olive oils on the island. A stay at Can Ribera reminds visitors that Mallorca is much more than just sun and sea (although one of the best beaches in Europe, according to Tripadvisor, is only 14 km away) and that the island’s interior has a rich history and is the perfect place for peaceful relaxation.
