My Favorite Wedding Venue in Mallorca
Somewhere in northern Mallorca, nestled in the Artá mountains is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Once an old finca (a Spanish farmhouse), Es Raco d’Artá is now a little slice of hospitality heaven. It’s part wellness retreat, part restaurant, part luxury hotel — and if you’re looking for one, it’s part wedding venue too.
While Mallorca is more popularly known for its iconic beaches and turquoise blue water, the mountain landscapes on the north side of the island often get overlooked; which is exactly why I love this venue so much. While majority of tourists overrun the rest of the island (especially in the summer), staying here feels like you have the entire island to yourself.
Whether Mallorca is a local or destination wedding for you, this place will serve as the perfect getaway for you and your guests. With 34 rooms and casitas throughout the property, a full service restaurant, two pools, a spa, a yoga room, and acres of gardens to explore, you and your guests can experience a full vacation without ever leaving the property gates. But if you’re looking to see more, you’re also just a short drive away from some of the best hikes on the island as well as some of the greatest beaches Mallorca has to offer (I recommend Cala Mesquida or Cala Ratjada!)
As a space that acts as both hotel and event space, this is the kind of venue that will give you and your guests the feel of the ultimate Spanish vacation. Spend the days leading up to your big day hanging out by the pool, walking through the acres of gardens and groves, relaxing at the spa or taking one of their classes (like basket weaving or sandal making!). Then, on your big day, you can get married on the lawn, share a meal with your guests from their incredible farm-to-table restaurant, and dance underneath the palm trees.
Between the incredible mountain views, the stunning design, and top-tier hospitality, this has earned the spot as my all-time favorite wedding venue in Mallorca. Let the photos speak for themselves.
