Overview

Sa Bassa Rotja is a 13th‑century stone farmhouse reimagined as a tranquil country hotel in the heart of rural Majorca. Wrapped in vineyards, olive groves and landscaped gardens, this intimate 38‑room retreat blends traditional Majorcan décor – think terracotta tiles, wooden beams and thick stone walls – with a modern spa, pools and farm‑to‑table dining. It’s a peaceful base for slow days by the pool, countryside walks and cycling through the island’s picturesque interior.

Stone-arched terraces, emerald lawns and an inviting countryside pool give Sa Bassa Rotja a timeless, rustic feel. Inside, cosy lounges and characterful rooms showcase classic Majorcan design, while the spa and indoor pool add a spoiling, boutique touch – ideal for couples and quiet‑seeking friends who want an authentic island escape away from the coast. For couples and relaxed travellers seeking the Balearics’ softer side, Sa Bassa Rotja delivers a wonderfully slow pace – all rustic stone, olive trees and birdsong instead of beachfront bustle. It’s around 50 minutes from Palma de Mallorca airport, deep in the countryside near the pretty town of Porreres. See more Balearics holidays.

Map & location


Porreres, Majorca, Balearics, Spain

Sa Bassa Rotja sits in classic Majorcan countryside just outside Porreres, an unspoilt inland town of stone houses, sleepy squares and a handsome chapel. From here you’re perfectly placed for walks through farmland, visits to nearby vineyards and day trips to Palma’s Gothic old town and harbour. The nearest beach is around 18km away, so this is very much a rural retreat rather than a resort hotel – think birdsong, big skies and stargazing at night.
  • Porreres resort centre 3km
  • beach 18km
  • Palma de Mallorca city around 40–45km (approx.)
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 50 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool is the heart of the gardens – a serene spot lined with sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols, ideal for lazy afternoons and siestas in the shade. Inflatables are permitted, and pool towels are provided with a refundable deposit.

For cooler days or a change of scene, the spa centre houses an indoor heated freshwater pool with an integrated whirlpool (heated roughly November–April). With only countryside around you, there’s a wonderfully secluded, adults‑in‑spirit feel.

Sa Bassa Rotja is an inland retreat, so there’s no beach on the doorstep. The nearest stretch of sand is about 18km away, with car hire or a taxi the most flexible way to combine countryside calm with coastal days out.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness facilities are surprisingly comprehensive for such a small property. The spa features a sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum ages apply for some services). There’s also a compact, air‑conditioned gym with cardio machines and basic fitness equipment, typically open 08:00–20:00.

Active guests can make use of basketball and football areas, petanque, table tennis, a tennis court and yoga sessions. Dedicated cycling facilities – including on‑site bike hire and secure cycle storage – make this a strong base for exploring Majorca’s quiet backroads on two wheels.

In the evenings (roughly March–October), you can expect occasional live music and low‑key entertainment, always in keeping with the hotel’s peaceful, rural vibe.
