Description

Refugio Puig d'Alaró is a mountain refuge with overnight accommodation perched on the summit of Puig d'Alaró near Alaró — reachable only on foot or by donkey.

High up: accommodation and food

The refuge offers simple, clean rooms with mattresses for overnight stays. Supplies — drinks such as coffee, beer and soft drinks, along with light snacks — are brought up by donkey. The menu includes Pa amb oli, lamb, rice dishes such as a vegetable and bacallà paella, and homemade almond cake. Payment is by cash only.

Views and atmosphere

From the summit the views stretch far across the island — all the way to the Bay of Palma, Palma Airport and the Bay of Alcúdia. The location away from the tourist crowds brings a real sense of peace and quiet; benches outside invite you to sit and linger, and even in the height of summer a fresh breeze keeps things cool. After dark, the stargazing is spectacular.

Getting there and the ascent

The refuge sits above Alaró. The walk up is entirely on foot; from Alaró the climb takes just over two hours, while from Es Verger it's around 50 minutes. The road leading up is notoriously narrow and demanding. If you're heading up in hot weather, an early start is well worth it so you can make the ascent in the shade.

Practical note

Toilets are not always available — the staff explain that they depend on rainwater supply. There are no showers, but blankets and pillows are provided.
