Located on a farm on the outskirts of Bunyola, the shelters consist of four rustic houses that can accommodate small groups of up to seven. There are showers, a kitchen and small lounge.

The hostel is a 45-minute walk from the scenic castle. There are double and triple rooms, a communal room and snack bar, but facilities are otherwise modest: come prepared with whatever you might require.

It’s a one hour walk from the Clot d’Almendra to this place, which gives access to the highest summits of the range. The house, an old mountain construction, has been modernized with an en-suite double room and two rooms with bunks for 8 and 12 people. There is heating, and guests can cook their own meals or eat at the restaurant.

In this most famous of Mallorca’s retreats (see Monestir de Nostra Senyora de Lluc), you’ll find considerable comfort and every sort of facility, including outside tables, barbecue areas, bars and restaurants, and camping possibilities. The accommodation is closer to hotel-style than most such retreats on the island.

High on the Puig de Maria. There’s a kitchen with a coal fire, and a dining room with a fireplace and restaurant. Bathrooms are communal, and only one of the showers has hot water (see Ermita de Nostra Senyora del Puig).

Located in foothills amid cultivated fields and spruce and pine forests. It’s ideal as a spiritual retreat or a base for excursions. All rooms are double, and there’s also a pool, tennis and even heating.

Set in a Special Interest Nature Area. The five rooms share cold water showers, a kitchen, dining room and outside barbecue areas with picnic tables.

The very simple amenities here are reminiscent of the asceticism of yester-year. The 16th-century lecture hall is preserved, as are four Gothic pillars on the path that ascends from the village to the summit. Great views of the entire Central Plain.

Modest accommodations and amenities include hot water, a kitchen, dining room, barbecue areas, picnic tables, and a bar and restaurant.

There are two official hostels in barracks-like buildings. You must book in advance, as they get full quickly.
