Every corner of Finca Serena is a seamless blend of traditional Mallorcan architecture and an understated modern simplicity, making it the ideal location for couples seeking a truly sophisticated experience. With lots of neutrals, stone, and earthy details, the property is, at every turn, calming.

An unexpected treat for guests are the supremely magical sunsets. Your wedding photos will be nothing more than perfection as the golden light drenches the fields and villages, slowly transitioning into an impressive pink and purple.
the
accommodation
As a 5-star hotel, one of the most memorable amenities to a wedding at Finca Serena is having all of your guests together under the same roof, enjoying the same exceptional experience.
Within the 25 guests rooms, Finca Serena can accommodate around 50 guests. If your guest count exceeds this amount, there are other area hotels such as Fincahotel Treurer,
Can Moio, Es Riquers, and Can Ferrereta, that would be good choices for additional accommodation.
Your wedding guests will be treated to luxurious accommodations that blend modern comforts with rustic charm and a highly dedicated staff that leaves them delighted. The venue boasts elegantly appointed rooms and suites, all offering stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.
On-site amenities include a world-class spa, infinity pool, and gourmet restaurant. For the more active types, the resort offers yoga, hikes, and fitness classes, all ensuring that you and your guests enjoy a lavish experience from beginning to end.
It is important to note that Finca Serena is an adult-only resort (age 14 and older), so plan accordingly and that you do have the option to buy-out the entire resort (25 rooms) for your guests.
catering
With an impressive catering staff and five-star chefs, Finca Serena offers the ability to design a menu that is exactly what you desire. From original menus founded in local cuisine to more informal barbeques, expect nothing less than fresh, locally sourced ingredients and inventive recipes.
And don’t forget the welcome dinner. Finca Serena makes an exceptional traditional paella dish that is always a crowd favorite for those intimate pre-wedding gatherings. Cooked outside and served on the Palm Plaza, this entree is a local treat that can’t be missed, especially for those craving an authentic Mallorcan experience.
Finca Serena offers a selection of refined wedding spaces and services tailored to ensure your special day is nothing short of perfection. Boasting several distinct spaces, the property allows the unique ability to customize your wedding into exactly what you envision.
With this in mind, here are the main event spaces and my thoughts behind them:
The cobblestone terrace is always a magical option. Imagine saying your vows while under the shade of the olive trees with the Mallorcan countryside spanning out in front of you.

One of the more distinctive spaces on the property is a Place Among the Vines. Situated among the property's vineyards, it offers unobstructed views of the mountains and the nearby village.
To get to this space, your guests will take a short and idyllic walk through the property’s small forest. Older guests, and the couple, will get access to the golf carts on site.

There is absolutely nothing more magical than sunset portraits at the vineyard. During this time, the golden light softly touches everything on the horizon and you are rewarded with epic scenic images of you and your love with the Mallorcan countryside at your back.

Hi, I'm maria
At home near the sea, picking oranges in the garden, always exploring and celebrating those moments that leave me in awe.
I am a German-American but Mallorca is where my heart is the happiest. I live on this beautiful island with my tattoo artist husband and our son Indy who we named after the great adventurer.
When we got married almost 19 years ago I knew I found my soulmate. I moved from Germany to Texas for him and now we live on a Spanish island. This place is an endless well of inspiration for me, so beautiful and magical it's hard to describe.
I love a day that starts with snuggles, sunshine and a cup of coffee - team decaf here! And even better when the day ends with friends and family gathered around the dinner table, sharing stories and a homemade meal.
