About the venue
Finca Es Convent, Santa Maria del Camí
Finca Es Convent is the former Convent of La Soledad in Santa Maria del Camí, central Mallorca, founded in 1656 by the Marquis de la Fontsanta and restored as a private wedding estate in 2022, about 20 minutes from Palma airport. Weddings are exclusive, with ceremonies in a green courtyard or the 17th-century cloister, dinner around the cloister fountain and dancing in a vaulted hall, for up to 250 seated guests or 350 for cocktails. Catering is in-house, there are no rooms on site, and venue hire starts from about €4,000.
Es Convent was founded in 1656 by the Marquis de la Fontsanta on his own estate in Santa Maria del Camí, a wine village at the foot of the Tramuntana. Friars of the Order of Minims lived here from 1680 until 1835, when Spain's disentailment laws expelled the religious orders and the house returned to the marquis's family. The complex of convent house, cloister, gardens and church was reformed in 2022 for weddings and events.
The character comes from the architecture rather than the views: sandstone walls, vaulted arches, arcades of weathered columns and courtyards hung with ivy. Ceremonies take place in La Plaza, a secluded courtyard that stays green all year, or in La Clastra, the cloister itself. Guests usually arrive along the Camino and La Terraza Marés for welcome drinks and the seating plan.
Dinner is the heart of the day, laid out in La Clastra around the old fountain under garland lights, with long tables and round tables among the columns. Later the party moves into the Salón de Arcos, a restored vaulted hall for music and dancing, which also doubles as the indoor plan B in cooler months. For a church wedding, the historic churches of Santa Maria del Camí are a few minutes away.
The estate is hired exclusively, with a team that has run weddings for over 20 years and works with its own decorators, lighting and DJ suppliers. Food is by Exclusive Catering, with chef Rodrigo Gutiérrez mixing Mallorcan produce with South American and Asian touches. There are no rooms, so guests stay in village hotels, nearby villas or Palma, and there is parking on site.
