Nybau Hotels has created a trinity of hotels, a collection of three unique properties that each highlight the diverse and unforgettable experiences of the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, from the sophistication of the capital city, the sun-soaked coast, and now with the opening of Es Figueral Nou Hotel, the charm of the countryside.
Mallorca’s interior has changed little over the centuries, and arriving in Montuiri, just half an hour from the island’s bustling airport immediately embraces you with a sense of rural tranquillity, lost in a timeless rural landscape.
Here, amidst the gentle sway of olive trees and the iconic silhouettes of windmills, a charming 18th century farmstead and winery have been transformed by Nybau Hotels into a stunning boutique property – Es Figueral Nou – the new Mediterranean hideaway in the rural heart of Mallorca.
Rural Boutique Bliss
Es Figueral Nou Hotel serves as a contemporary haven for weary travellers, offering cinematic views that stretch towards the striking World Heritage Tramuntana mountains. This tranquil refuge invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Mallorca countryside.
The property exudes a distinctly laid-back and understated vibe, contrasting with its city sister, El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in Palma, known for its vibrant and bold interiors designed by Swedish designer Magnus Ehrland…

…as well as El Vicenç de la Mar, its coastal chic counterpart that brings urban flair to a secluded bay.

In contrast, Es Figueral Nou embraces a different rhythm, drawing inspiration from Mallorca’s rural culture, where the ambience is shaped by the shifting light of the sun.
Laid-Back Days
As the brilliance of the morning sunshine fills your suite, it’s a gentle way to begin a day filled with pampering and healthy indulgence. There’s the large pool that faces out towards the pastoral landscape with waiter service for drinks and light snacks. And peaceful spots in the gardens, in the shade of ancient olive trees, carob and fig.
The intimate spa has an indoor heated pool, steam bath, sauna, sensation shower and sun loungers in the relaxation area. There are tennis courts too, and complimentary bikes, perfect for exploring the nearby hamlets and windmills. If you are on a cycling holiday, there is special secure storage.
Rooms & Suites
40 rooms and suites, from 25 to 70 square metres, many with private terraces, are distributed across two sandstone buildings. Each guest space has a distinct character reflecting the unique architecture of the historic buildings, but all share refined contemporary, minimalist interiors of blond woods, stone walls, and linen fabrics in muted tones.
Our suite was particularly magical with a private terrace and large living space, while the bathroom had a soaking tub.
Bathrooms are bright and elegant with aromatic mint and eucalyptus Hammam Spa amenities.
As long shadows fall across the terrace patio, and the sky warms with tones of the setting sun, it time to think about dinner.
Es Pati de Montuiri
The hotel’s restaurant, Es Pati de Montuiri, has Chef Daniel Perez Casas in the kitchen, executing a compelling seasonal menu that connects you with the destination.
Es Pati de Montuiri offers interior dining within the historic vaulted spaces of the former winery, as well as outdoor tables out on the terrace, set around the fountain. There’s an a la carte menu and an 8-course tasting menu.
Ingredients are local; flavours are bold, and service is authentic and friendly. A glass of the house vermouth is a splendid way to begin this Balearic gastronomic journey.
The dining experience leaves plenty of lasting memories, from the first plates of warm artichokes with Menorcan Mahón cheese and pickled lemon, and the intensely flavoured cuttlefish stew with meatballs and peas, to main dishes of veal with seasonal mushrooms and fresh turbot with pear and honey. Dinner is further elevated by creative desserts like the ‘apricot explosion,’ and the handmade hazelnut ice cream.
Mallorca Is Calling
Mallorca consistently invites return visits, and Es Figueral Nou, the embodiment of simplicity, tranquillity, and authenticity, is a delight to discover. It’s a contemporary take on the rural retreat away, from the crowds while still being easily accessible from the airport. As an ‘understated luxury’ addition to the Nybau Hotels collection, it offers a compelling complement to stay at their city or coastal properties.
