Culinary
At Es Figueral Nou’s dining venues, gastronomy is elevated to an art form, celebrating Mallorca’s rich flavors.
The hotel’s signature restaurant Es Pati de Montuïri is set in a beautifully vaulted stone celler (an 18th-century wine cellar turned dining room) – an atmospheric backdrop of archways and candlelight for savoring gourmet cuisine. Here, the chef crafts farm-to-table Mediterranean dishes with a modern twist, sourcing ingredients from local farms, fishermen, and the hotel’s own gardens. Mornings begin with lavish breakfasts on the terrace: an array of freshly baked ensaïmadas and pastries, seasonal fruits, artisanal jams (including the estate’s own fig preserves), and made-to-order egg dishes – a spread so sumptuous that guests rate it 9.5/10. By night, Es Pati offers a refined yet unpretentious dining experience, where one can pair regional wines with inventive Mallorcan dishes in a romantic ambiance under the stars. For lighter fare, the pool bar serves tapas and salads during the day, and the cozy lounge bar offers cocktails and local liqueurs come evening. The culinary experience is authentic, flavorful, and memorably indulgent, reflecting the hotel’s philosophy of Mediterranean excellence.
Key Facts

Whether one seeks pure relaxation or active exploration, Es Figueral Nou provides a curated mix of activities to enrich your stay.
Many guests choose to simply unwind – lounging by the pool, wandering the expansive gardens, or enjoying a good book on a shady terrace – soaking in the tranquility. For those eager to explore, the hotel’s central location makes it an ideal springboard for discovering Mallorca. On-site, you can start your morning with yoga or meditation in the 50,000 m² garden, challenge your partner to tennis on the private court, or rent high-end bicycles to pedal through picturesque country lanes.

If you prefer hiking, the front desk can map out trails – perhaps a walk up to the Santuari de Cura viewpoint or a trek in the Tramuntana foothills. Culturally, the charming town of Montuïri and other villages like Sineu or Algaida are a short drive away, known for their weekly markets, artisan workshops, and historical sites (the hotel can help arrange excursions or a rental car easily). Whether you spend your days basking in the spa, exploring hidden beaches, or touring local wineries, Es Figueral Nou ensures that every guest can craft their own perfect Mallorcan itinerary, with as much or as little activity as desired.

Few boutique hotels cater to cyclists at this level, making it a unique draw for active travelers.
- Tailored Excursions: The hotel excels at creating bespoke experiences.

This commitment to guest experiences means your stay can be enriched with authentic adventures beyond the property.
- Wellness and Leisure Harmony: With such expansive private grounds, guests can indulge in simple pleasures that feel almost like activities themselves – for instance, a morning of birdwatching in the garden (the estate is alive with birdsong at dawn), or a sunset tennis match followed by a dip in the pool. The ease of having spa, sports, and nature on-site encourages a balanced holiday where wellness and fun are always at your fingertips. Few places allow you to start your day with meditation under a fig tree, spend the afternoon exploring a medieval village, and end with stargazing by a silent pool – all in one day, all from one home base.
