Map & location
Muro, Majorca, Balearics, Spain
Can Ribera by Zafiro sits in the heart of Muro, a dinky inland town that feels worlds away from the busier coastal strips. Cobbled streets, shuttered townhouses and a Sunday market set the tone, while cafés and wine bars cluster around the main square.
When you want the beach, the sweeping sands of Playa de Muro are a short drive away, and C’an Picafort’s seafront promenade is within easy reach too. It’s a great base if you like to split time between quiet village life, vineyard visits and lazy days by the sea.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s showstopper is its rooftop freshwater pool, a compact but stylish spot ideal for a refreshing dip after a day exploring. The pool incorporates a whirlpool section and is framed by a sunbathing terrace with loungers and Balinese beds – perfect for unwinding with a book and soaking up views across Muro and towards the countryside.
Pool towels are provided free of charge, and facilities may vary depending on season and weather; the rooftop area typically operates from spring through to early autumn.
Can Ribera by Zafiro is inland, so there’s no beach directly on the doorstep, but the long, pale sands of Playa de Muro and C’an Picafort are just a short drive away, giving you easy access to some of Majorca’s best coastline while still staying in a traditional town setting.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a small, design-led townhouse rather than a full-scale resort, so facilities are focused on comfort and ease:
• Reception & concierge – friendly staff on hand for restaurant bookings, taxi arrangements and local recommendations
• Luggage storage – helpful if you’re arriving early or leaving late
• Equipment hire including motorised scooters (local charges apply)
There’s no on-site spa or gym, but the peaceful atmosphere, rooftop pool and easy access to walking country and nearby beaches make it a great choice if your idea of wellness is a slower pace, good food and time outdoors.
Activities
Inside the hotel, life is deliberately unhurried, centred on the rooftop pool and the restaurant. For days out, Muro makes a handy base for:
? Wandering the old town’s streets and Sunday market
? Visiting nearby wineries such as Bodegas Butxet for tastings
?️ Day trips to Playa de Muro and C’an Picafort for beach time
? Scenic drives into the countryside – car hire strongly recommended for exploring at your own pace
There’s no formal entertainment programme, making this a good choice if you prefer peaceful evenings and independent exploring to scheduled shows or activities.
Guest services
?️ Reception with concierge-style assistance
? Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
? Motorised scooter hire and other equipment (local charge)
??? Restaurant with highchairs for younger guests
? Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property
Service is personalised and low-key, in keeping with the property’s small size and boutique character.
Food & drink
The intimate Can Ribera Restaurant is very much the heart of the hotel, showcasing Majorcan flavours with a modern twist.
Breakfast is served buffet-style, with fresh pastries, fruit, cold cuts and cooked options to start your day. From Wednesday to Sunday, the restaurant opens in the evening for à la carte dinners, drawing on seasonal, local ingredients for refined but unpretentious dishes.
Highchairs are available for younger guests. A smart casual dress code may apply in the evenings and opening days and times can vary by season and occupancy. Reservations may be required and some items may carry a supplement depending on your board basis.
There’s also a small bar area where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink or a glass of local vino in the cosy lounge or out on the terrace.
