The restored 19th-century facade of NEMA on a quiet sloping street in the old town of Artà, pale rendered walls with marès-stone corners and an even row of powder-blue louvered shutters under a clear sky

Boutique hotel & spa · Artà, Mallorca

An old house, brought to level.

A late-19th-century village house in the quiet old town, taken back to its stone and set at an even keel — seven rooms, a spa of stone and still water under glass, and a small Mallorcan kitchen.

01The house

A village house, kept at the level it was found.

NEMA is a family house from the end of the 1800s, in the oldest, quietest part of Artà — below the church, at the foot of the Sant Salvador hill. It was opened in 2023 after a restoration that kept the old proportions and the local hand: marès stone left where it reads, lime render, blue shutters set in an even line across the front.

Nothing was made loud. Rooms are few, ceilings are high, and the new work — oak, glass, warm light — sits level with the old wall rather than over it. It is the kind of small house you settle into and stop checking the time.

The NEMA lounge: a rust-red curved sofa and woven chairs on a jute rug, a long oak table, and an original marès-stone wall beside a black steel-framed glass wall onto the garden — LoungeOld stone, new glass, level light

02The spa

Stone on one side, still water on the other.

Under a glass roof at the heart of the house, an original marès wall stands over a steel hydrotherapy pool — a flat, quiet surface that holds the light. Around it: a sauna, a hammam, and a small room for massage and treatments. No music you didn't choose, no clock.

This is the part of NEMA the name was made for. You come in carrying the day and leave it on the water.

03Rooms

Seven rooms, each one level and unhurried.

No two rooms are quite the same — the house is old and was reset, not flattened. They share cool walls, oak and warm linen, soft light low to the bed, and a sprig of eucalyptus that follows you from the spa.

A bright NEMA suite with a pale oak headboard and reading lights, a long linen sofa, a small round oak table with eucalyptus, and tall windows onto the street

The suite

The largest room: a sitting area and sofa, an oak headboard with reading lights set low, and windows that open over the old street. Calm and full of morning light.

A NEMA double room with high ceilings, an oak headboard, warm pendant and bedside lights, a clay lamp and curtained French windows letting a soft band of light across the stone floor

The double

High-ceilinged and bright, with curtained windows that let a single band of afternoon sun travel across the floor. Oak, warm lamps and a bed you sink into.

The bath room

A room with the bath kept close — oak, brass and white linen, a glass of fresh eucalyptus by the bed, and the quiet of thick old walls. Made for a slow start.

A NEMA table laid in low evening light: linen cloth, woven placemats, two glasses of white wine, a sprig of olive across the cloth and a plate of beetroot and burrata

04The table

A small kitchen, the island on the plate.

Breakfast is unhurried and made in the house; in the evening a short Mallorcan menu — fish from the coast, vegetables from the land, a glass of something local — laid on woven mats with a sprig of olive. Out by the pool, a spritz and something light when the day is warm.

06Artà

A hill town in the quiet corner of the island.

Artà sits in the north-east of Mallorca, where the island stays slow: a stone hill town under the Sant Salvador sanctuary, a Wednesday market, and the wild beaches and coves of the Llevant a short drive down to the sea.

Sant Salvador: Up the hill, on foot
Coves & beaches: About 15 min
Palma: About 1 hour
Airport: About 50 min
