About Fornalutx

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca, Fornalutx is a picturesque community of pale sandstone buildings framed by the Sierra de Tramuntana. Nestled in the Valley of Sóller and just a short drive from the coast, it’s a lovely base for outdoorsy types as well as those simply eager to bask in the sunshine and savour long, lazy lunches, away from the crowds that flock to the island's coast. Whether you’re an active hiker or plan to kick back by the pool, you need look no further than the intimate hotels on our list of the best places to stay in Fornalutx.

Amble through the village’s winding streets to admire green-shuttered homes bedecked with flower-filled window boxes, step into the imposing church on the main square, and marvel at heritage buildings in the sunshine. Beyond the town lies a network of hiking and mountain biking trails in the craggy Sierra de Tramuntana.

Walk part of the Dry Stone Route, an eight-part trail stretching from Andratx to Pollença, challenge yourself to scale the 1,445-metre Puig Major, or head up to the glittering Gorg Blau and Cúber reservoirs. For beach days, the Port de Sóller is a fantastic choice. With spectacular views in all directions, the best places to stay in Fornalutx are brilliant for eager adventurers hoping to discover Mallorca’s mountainous interior.
