20/11/2017 For 300 years, the moors occupied Mallorca, constructing baths in the 10th century. Historians believe that Sóller’s Arab baths were sited in the exact same quarter as Posada de Balitx.
Centuries later, this grand house of Mallorcan stone was built. The owners would use it as a place to stop; a haven on the long, hard journey by horse and donkey cart from Palma to the lands and mills of the west coast.
Once a peaceful place for cleansing and relaxation; once a refuge for weary travellers; and now, a home for those wishing to escape the crazy modern world.
This location in the heart of Sóller remains true to its sanctuary-like history.
Your journey ends here
Start in the lovely town plaça and take a stroll down lively Carrer de sa Lluna with its many small shops, cafes and restaurants until you reach cobbled Carrer de l’Hospici. Walk a little further, and you arrive at the Posada. Nestled at the end of quiet Carrer de Balitx, these superb residences beckon you to a new way of living in Sóller.
Pass through the stone archway and ancient wooden doors into the expansive entrada, and you immediately get a sense of how the original owners must have felt upon arriving here from their journey all that time ago.

In 2016, the Posada was beautifully restored to offer a style of living inconceivable back in the 1600s. The Mallorquin proprietors wouldn’t believe their eyes if they saw their property today, and the comfort of its inhabitants.
Owning a posada residence
Recuperation and privacy await courtesy of five duplex apartments. Each is beautifully, uniquely appointed, combining the highest specs with masses of authentic charm. Ready to move into tomorrow, they range from two to four bedrooms and give the dweller the key to exclusive quality of life in one of the island’s most sought-after towns.
Under-floor heating…air con…a gym, sauna and shimmering outdoor pool. With the exception of the tranquil ambience and some stunning, carefully preserved original features, the view from the windows and upper terraces must be the only aspect not to have altered dramatically throughout history.
Live here, and you’ll be gazing out over fragrant orange groves, majestic mountains and, at your feet, the delightful landscaped gardens of your home.
Change has happened in this treasured corner of Mallorca, taking it right into the 21st century; but some things are timeless.
