About the Hotel
Reads is a privately owned, totally unique 5 star luxury hotel with just 23 rooms. Situated at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains it is surrounded by 20,000m2 of landscaped gardens and its own vineyard, beautiful countryside and utter peace and tranquillity yet is just 15 minutes by car or 20 minutes by train from the magic city of Palma.
The magnificent stone house dates back to the 16th century and was converted to a hotel over a period of 7 years. The style can best be described as an eclectic mix of contemporary, classic and the designer’s vivid imagination which echo the owner’s philosophy that a hotel must be a theatre of dreams and surprises.

650m2 VESPASIAN Spa with treatments by ESPA and Ytsara

What the press say..
Time writer Alex Perry reviews Reads restaurant
Nothing at Read's is run of the mill and it is part of its charm and eccentricity. This hotel, frequented by a mixture of the quietly rich and quietly famous, manages to provide an oasis of calm within its honey coloured stone walls. The cappuccino of lobster and coconut with caviar has been described as "sex on a plate." Bliss.
The Daily Mail
"Reads combines 5 star luxury with decorative idiosyncrasy. Its friendly, fun and has one of the Islands best restaurants."
The Sunday Times
