About the venue
Finca Son Collell, Montuïri
Finca Son Collell, also called La Possessió del Marqués, is a historic country estate above the village of Montuïri in central Mallorca, owned by the Marqueses de la Fontsanta family since 1347 and about 30 minutes from Palma and the airport. It is hired exclusively for one wedding a day, with ceremonies at El Arado, in the formal gardens or on the bougainvillea terrace, dinner on the terrace or in the cloister and a separate party zone, for up to 250 seated guests or 400 for cocktails. Catering is in-house, there is one bridal suite on site, and venue hire starts from about €5,000 including a pavilion tent.
Son Collell sits on a rise above Montuïri, a hilltop village of windmills in the middle of the island, with views across the plain to the Serra de Tramuntana. The estate has belonged to the Marqueses de la Fontsanta family since 1347, the same family behind Finca Es Convent in Santa Maria del Camí, and it keeps the feel of a traditional Mallorcan possessió: stone buildings, arcaded verandas, a cloister and formal gardens with fountains.
There are three settings for the ceremony. El Arado is a long rectangular space beside the Lion's Pool terrace, roomy but intimate; the gardens keep their original French-style fountains, and the Bougainvillea Terrace sets the vows against the estate's flower-covered façade. Religious weddings can be held in nearby village churches, with the celebration back at the finca.
The Bougainvillea Terrace is the natural place for dinner, with tables under festoon lights below walls covered in bougainvillea of different shades; it seats 250, takes 400 for cocktails and can be covered with tents for sun or rain. Cocktails are served in the gardens at sunset, looking over Montuïri to the Tramuntana, and drinks spread across the veranda, the cloister and the Lion's Pool area, and a separate party zone takes over late in the evening. A pavilion tent is included in the hire.
The estate is hired exclusively for the day, with 10 hours of celebration time, and the in-house team handles planning, decoration, lighting, DJ and coordination. Food is by Exclusive Catering, mixing Mallorcan produce with South American and Asian touches. There is one suite for the couple, with breakfast; guests stay in Montuïri, nearby rural hotels or Palma.
