As a cradle of art and culture, Mallorca is full of hidden treasures that tell us about its history. It also offers a landscape richness that awakens the emotions of those who visit the island. Far from the most touristic spots, we discover secret places in Mallorca<\/strong> that captivate our senses. At Hammam we open the doors to the lesser\u2011known charms of the island.<\/p>\n On the slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana we find the beautiful village of Banyalbufar<\/strong>, at whose feet the Mediterranean opens.<\/p>\n Its impressive natural setting and its charming historic centre make this small locality one of the most impressive secret places in Mallorca. A visit to this village lets you discover a spectacular waterfall and unrivalled sea views, as well as its characteristic vineyards, which hold the origin of the malvas\u00eda grape cultivation.<\/p>\n It is located just 28\u202fkilometres from Palma \u2014 although to reach it you need to make a 45\u202fminute car ride \u2014 and has Arabic origins. Its defensive towers and irrigation systems by aqueducts, terraces, cisterns and canals transport you several centuries back in time. But it is also interesting to explore its artisan wineries or go hiking in a unique natural environment. Not to mention how pleasurable it is to lose yourself in its small cove, a gem protected by the stone walls of the mountain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If we speak of secret places in Mallorca with charm, few match in beauty the village of S\u00f3ller<\/strong>. And this is due in part to oranges!<\/p>\n The cultivation of citrus allowed locals to make a fortune in France in the 19th\u202fcentury through the export of these products. Back on the island, they invested in the construction of modernist buildings that still survive today. A stroll through its narrow streets allows you to discover those palaces of French influence, but also lovely private gardens.<\/p>\n S\u00f3ller, with its characteristic medieval air, lies in the middle of an orange\u2011valley known as the \u2018golden valley\u2019. This name is of Arabic origin: S\u00f3ller comes from \u2018suliar\u2019, which means \u2018golden bowl\u2019, and is no more than a way to describe that orange valley surrounding the village.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To transport yourself to the Andalusi Arab world, one of the secret places in Mallorca that must form part of your visit is Hammam\u202fAl\u2011\u00c1ndalus. On Costa\u202fi\u202fLlobera street we invite you to activate your five senses<\/strong>. The water, the music, the aroma, the silence and the soft light will help you to discover your inner nature in the most relaxing way.<\/p>\n We are not traditional Arab baths but we have reinterpreted the ancient hammams to provide you with an exclusive wellness experience. Join us on this restorative journey toward the balance that your body and spirit need.<\/p>\nBanyalbufar: hidden gem between sea and mountain<\/strong><\/h2>\n
