Seeking out an agritourism experience in Manacor is, in reality, seeking a different way of traveling. One where silence replaces noise, where the food is as important as the bed, and where time ceases to be a resource and becomes the true luxury. Es Mayolet is that agritourism: a 28-hectare estate in the heart of Mallorca's Llevant region, with ten unique rooms, its own vineyard, and the cuisine of chef Andreu Genestra at the heart of the experience.
Mallorca accounts for more than 54% of rural tourism searches in the Balearic Islands —57,260 searches during 2025, according to the study published by Mallorca Informa— and within that map, Manacor occupies a particular place: the capital of Llevant, far from the coastal bustle but a few minutes from some of the most beautiful coves on the island.
Why Manacor is the ideal location to experience authentic agritourism
An agritourism stay in Manacor puts you exactly where Mallorca is still Mallorca: in the agricultural interior of Llevant, surrounded by vineyards, almond groves and olive groves, with the town a stone's throw away and the sea a quarter of an hour away.
Manacor is the island's second largest city, with nearly 40,000 inhabitants, 25 sandy beaches, two spectacular caves—the Caves of Drach and Hams—and a rural heritage that few places preserve so vibrantly. Those who stay here aren't there for hotel tourism; they're here to experience the island from within. It's the difference between sleeping near the beach and sleeping near the land that grew your dinner.
Added to this is a practical advantage: Manacor is 50 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from Porto Cristo, and 20 minutes from the golf course and the first unspoiled coves on the east coast. In other words, the best of the inland without sacrificing access to the rest of the island.
What sets Es Mayolet apart from the rest of the agritourism establishments in Llevant
Es Mayolet is the only agritourism establishment in Manacor that combines a slow luxury philosophy, its own vineyard on the estate, and a gastronomic offering created by a Michelin-starred chef. This is no small feat: while other agritourism establishments in the area offer authentic rural charm, the combination of haute cuisine and the integration of the garden, dining room, and winery on a single estate is unique to this property.
What makes the stay unique can be summarized in four specific pillars:
- 10 exclusive rooms, no more. Privacy is not a marketing promise, it's a fundamental aspect of the project.
- A working 28-hectare estate with a vineyard, organic garden, and native wildlife. It's not just decoration: it's the real source of the food.
- Chef Andreu Genestra's cuisine, featuring a farm-to-table approach and locally sourced products.
- Open April-October, respecting the natural cycle of the farm and the agritourism season in Mallorca.
It's a different model from traditional agritourism. Here, the rural experience isn't diminished, it's elevated without distorting its essence.
Andreu Genestra's table: Michelin-starred gastronomy in an agritourism establishment
What can you eat at a farm stay of this caliber in Manacor? A gastronomic offering from Andreu Genestra, a Mallorcan chef with a Michelin star and renowned for his work in local cuisine. At Es Mayolet, the menu adopts the Table d'Hôte format: four dishes that change daily depending on what the farm and the sea offer that day.
There's no set menu. There's no rush. The kitchen uses the freshest produce from the farm's own organic garden, combines it with fish from the nearby market and meat from local producers, and creates a unique menu each night. It's the concept of local sourcing taken to its most basic level: kilometer zero, almost meter zero.
To discover the proposal in detail, visit the page of gastronomy of chef Andreu Genestra where we explain the pillars of the tasting menu and the farm-to-table philosophy that structures each service.
Rooms, vineyard and orchard: the estate as a complete experience
Ten unique rooms from Es Mayolet—Junior Suite, Suite, Double Plus, and Double Standard—are spread throughout the restored traditional Mallorcan architecture. Each one retains stone walls, original beams, and views of the estate, and has been designed so that guests feel they are sleeping in a lived-in place, not a stage set.
But the room is only one part of the experience. The estate—28 hectares accessible—is best enjoyed on foot, horseback riding among centuries-old olive trees, strolling through the vineyard, or spending an afternoon by the outdoor pool with the Llevant landscape all around.
These are some of the experiences on the farm that are part of the proposal:
- Walks or horseback rides around the 28 ha estate.
- Tour of our own vineyard with explanation of the varieties.
- Farm-to-table cuisine using produce picked that very morning.
- Tastings of Mallorcan wines and locally sourced extra virgin olive oil.
- Free time in the pool, gardens and reading nooks.
- Excursions to unspoiled coves and caves 15-20 minutes away by car.
What to discover in Manacor during your stay
One of the reasons why agritourism in Manacor makes sense is because of what surrounds the property. The area offers a density of activities that's hard to match elsewhere on the island. These are the must-sees we recommend to our guests:
- Caves of Drach: 1,200 meters of underground tour and a classical music concert on Lake Martel.
- Cuevas dels Hams: less crowded than the Drach caves and with spectacular formations.
- Porto Cristo: a charming fishing port and a natural starting point for discovering the coves of the east.
- Cala Varques, Cala Romàntica and Cala Anguila: three of the most beautiful coves in Llevant, less than 20 minutes away.
- Church of Nostra Senyora dels Dolors: the architectural icon of the historic center of Manacor.
- Bodegas del Pla i Levante: the wine designation of origin of the east of the island.
- Manacor Market (Monday): one of the most authentic traditional markets in Mallorca.

Es Mayolet is an agritourism destination in Manacor designed for those who want more than just a place to sleep in the countryside: they want to eat what the land produces, drink the wine grown just 50 meters from their bed, and walk among the same olive trees that will one day yield the oil for their next visit.

Frequently asked questions about agritourism in Manacor
What is agritourism in Manacor and how does it differ from a rural hotel?
An agritourism establishment in Manacor is accommodation integrated into a working farm, not just a restored country house. The farm produces goods—wine, olive oil, fruit, vegetables—and this production is an integral part of the stay. A rural hotel might be in the countryside, but an agritourism establishment involves real agricultural life. Es Mayolet, with its 28 hectares in full production, fits the strict definition of Balearic agritourism.
How many rooms does Es Mayolet have?
Ten exclusive rooms: Junior Suites, Suites, Double Plus, and Standard Doubles. The limited capacity is intentional: it guarantees privacy, personalized service, and a dining experience where the chef can give individual attention to each table.
Is it possible to eat at agritourism without staying overnight?
The Table d'Hôte culinary offering is designed primarily for guests of the estate, as the experience is conceived as part of their stay. For external reservations, it is necessary to check availability directly with the estate based on date and capacity.
Is Manacor well connected to the airport and the coves?
Yes. Manacor is about 50 minutes from Palma airport by motorway. The nearest coves—Porto Cristo, Cala Varques, Cala Romàntica—are a 15-20 minute drive away. It's an inland agritourism property with direct access to the island's east coast.
