The looming shape of Randa mountain (542 metres) juts out of Mallorca's central plain and, as well as various radar and other antennae, its summit is home to the three monasteries of Gràcia, Sant Honorat, and Nostra Senyora de Cura. The little hamlet of Randa lies at the foot of the mountain and the comfortable Es Recó de Randa enjoys a slightly elevated position overlooking the stone houses. The old house was built in the 17th century, served as a nun's convent for many years, and has been transformed into a popular hotel full of old world charm while providing modern comfort and convenience. Ideal for peace, quiet and relaxation, or as a central touring base.
