Sleep in Biniaraix

Biniaraix is a small Mallorcan town located about two kilometers from Sóller. The villa is on a remarkable elevation, under the mountains of the Sóller Valley and it is divided between two municipalities, Sóller and Fornalutx. It is characterized by green landscapes all year round and extensive orange groves, famous throughout the island. On your getaway to Biniaraix you have to visit the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the Barranco de Biniaraix. If you plan to sleep in Biniaraix, then you can see our list of recommendations to make your stay one of ten.

Where to sleep in Biniaraix

The hotel offer to sleep in Biniaraix is very scarce, so we are going to focus on those of Sóller and Fornalutx. One of the first accommodations we are going to talk about is located in Sóller. It is the Hotel L'Avenida. It is located 2 minutes away from the main square. It is housed in a mansion over 100 years old. What stands out about this hotel is its elegance and the good taste with which it has been decorated. All is equipped in dark, black patterns that works very well with the texture of the furniture materials. This creates a very conducive environment for having a good rest. It has a pool and hammocks area.

In Fornalutx we would like to recommend Can Verdera, an exclusive boutique hotel with a Moorish-style patio and exotic gardens with a swimming pool and solarium. It has nicely decorated rooms. Its bathrooms are also really well decorated. The common rooms preserve the wooden beams. The breakfast of the hotel is very good and abundant.

Sleep in Alcúdia

Alcudia houses an ancient area of Iberian talayots in which the Romans built the important city of Pollentia. Next to it the Muslims would form the Al Kudia farmhouse. Its castle would be the last redoubt of the loyal ones to the emperor Carlos during the insurrection of the Germanías. Its sheltered bay will be the scene of the activities of corsairs and smugglers for centuries, places currently taken by tourists from around the world. On your trip to Alcudia, you can not miss the visit to the Puerta de Sant Sebastià or the Church of Sant Jaume. If you plan to sleep in Alcudia we recommend in this post a serie of accommodations to make it easier for you to choose yours.

One of the accommodations that we like to sleep in Alcudia is the 4 star Hotel Can Mostatxins. It is a luxury hotel that has managed to convert an old building of centuries of antiquity, into a modern functional hotel that respects and achieves everything one can expect from a first class hotel. In addition, the hotel grows in a context of great Mallorcan tradition.

The Hotel Sant Jaume is another good accommodation to sleep in Alcudia that is more modest than the previous one. However, its quality is great. The rooms are decorated in a traditional style, their four-poster beds give a sense of magnitude and the floors of the terrace and the rooms are traditional ceramic.

Alaior, in the interior of Menorca, is a typical rural town, in which white houses cover the hill crowned by its church.

If you plan to sleep in Alaior, read on to see the accommodations we recommend.
