Es Racó d'Artà

Es Racó d'Artà spans 220 hectares and was built by friends, architect Antoni Esteva and builder Jaume Danus, using natural materials, artisanal details, sustainable products, and minimalist design. Rustic yet luxurious, crafted from local limestone, hand-woven hemp yarn, and soothing sandstone and jute tones, nestled among wild olive trees in a tranquil valley, Es Racó boasts its own farm with vineyards, olive oil, organic gardens, Xeixa (local grain), citrus trees, and an apiary.

In the northeastern part of Mallorca lies the picturesque town of Artà. With its charming cobbled streets, well-preserved historic buildings, and a rich cultural history, it is a popular destination for visitors wanting to experience authentic Mallorcan flair. Es Racó d'Artà is located 5 km outside Artà in the Llevant Nature Reserve. Nestled in the hilly green nature of the surroundings, it offers an idyllic retreat for relaxation and unwinding. The impressive beach of Cala Rajada and the pristine bay of Cala Torta are 15 minutes away by car.

Es Racó d'Artà dates back to the 13th century and was previously a Berber settlement named Beni Axir, Beni Said, 'Sons of the Fortunate'. To honour its historical roots and with the aim of returning to them, the hotel's restaurant 'BENI AXIR' with an outdoor area was named after it. The restaurant focuses on Mediterranean cuisine using natural products from its own organic garden and selected small local producers. The menu is individually designed according to the season and natural harvest rhythm. The restaurant works closely with nutritionist Gemma Bes (including advisor to professional tennis player Rafael Nadal), allowing for individual diets (fasting, vegetarian, vegan, etc.), intolerances, and allergies to be accommodated. Indulge your senses during a culinary stroll and enjoy every step.
