More personalised services and attention

Due to the fact that they are smaller, boutique hotels offer much more than just a place to sleep and rest. Their smaller size creates a much more intimate atmosphere and allows more personalised service. The aim is to make you feel entirely at home, feel like part of the family. The word luxury here doesn’t mean ostentation or ridiculously high prices; it means exclusivity and personalised service.

That fact that our Can Ribera by Zafiro boutique hotel in Muro (Mallorca) only has a few rooms allows us to get closer to our guests and create a more family-style ambience. We have homely corners which are ideal for a quiet chat, reading a book in peace or relaxing on the terrace of our Sky Pool and enjoying the countryside aromas.

Chic and cultural style

A common feature of boutique hotels is that they are very chic and have a different atmosphere to other hotels. They are usually built within stately old houses with stunning architectural and artistic features that have been remodelled yet retain their original style and integration with their surroundings. Despite being located in old buildings, they are also equipped with modern facilities and all the latest technology to ensure that guests have all the comforts they require and enjoy a truly luxurious stay.

Opened in March 2018, Can Ribera by Zafiro is within a historic building dating back to 1870 that once belonged to the local musician Miquel Tortell. The hotel retains part of its ancient structure and is equipped with the finest amenities, especially in its rooms and suites - a perfect combination of tradition, modernity and elegance.

Where to find them

The surroundings also make a difference. If you like to discover more about and get involved in local culture and the authentic nature of the place where you are staying, a boutique hotel is the ideal choice. Combining rest with walks through the old town and seeing the daily life of the local people up close makes a simple holiday a truly authentic experience.

To create an ambience which is faithful to its environment, Can Ribera by Zafiro is in the heart of Mallorca in Muro, a small town in the north of the island with views of the beach, surrounded by fields and fruit trees.

Gourmet cuisine

If you like to learn more about the culture of the places you visit, then discovering and savouring traditional local cuisine is also essential. Boutique hotels always offer products from local suppliers and local recipes.

This year Can Ribera by Zafiro is home to the best of Mallorcan haute cuisine thanks to a partnership with the famous chef Tomeu Torrens and the opening of his restaurant Can Ribera by Can Amer. The restaurant offers Mallorcan cuisine full of flavour to help you discover the real Mallorca through its traditional dishes. And this is something you can't get at just any hotel.

Isn’t that more than enough to make you want to stay in a boutique hotel? Wait no longer and come and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
