For many, a villa rental in Mallorca is preferable to a Spanish coast holiday in a high rise hotel. By staying in one of Mallorca’s breathtaking villas you can be ensured that you are in the midst of the action, whether your Mallorca villa is located right on the seafront, or on the outskirts of Mallorca’s famous pine walk:
If your Mallorca villa rental is located in Puerto Pollensa, then you may want to ensure that you are located as near to the beach as possible. So, if you’re planning a Mallorca villa holiday with your family and have young children, you should definitely consider staying near the white sandy beach of Pollensa. Puerto Pollensa is a mooring point for yachts and brightly coloured fishing boats, which have in the past few years sadly decreased to be the minority. Families staying in a Mallorca villa rental in this area can also take advantage of the number of seafood restaurants located on the seafront, which are said to be amongst the best in the country.
Albercutx beach is equally as sandy as Puerto Pollensa, but is bordered on all sides by the famous Pine Walk. It is perfect for strolling along on a lazy summer evening and the calm bay makes it a popular destination for watersports and paddling.
If you’re looking for a more active break and considering taking a villa holiday in Mallorca with your equally active friends, then you may want to forgo the calm bays of Albercutx and Pollensa for the more thrilling Cala San Vicenc. This beach is popular with surf types, as the coves are more open to the sea, resulting in a number of ‘big rollers’. Cala San Vicenc is also the perfect location in which to wine and dine a loved one on your Mallorca villa holidays. The cosy restaurants dotted around the bay are popular for their famous paella, whilst the steep steps leading from the restaurants to the sea provide the ideal spot in which to relax and simply watch the moonlit water rippling against the bay.
Puerto Pollensa is a great destination in which to take a Mallorca villa holiday, but you may also want to consider Cala d’Or, which is situated on the south east coast of the island. The area is made up of a range of fine sandy beaches which visitors can reach via a popular land train. Of all the beaches, Cala Gran is the largest, but at just 40m long can rarely be described in this manner. However, Cala d’Or from which the resort takes its name is easily the most popular beach, and as it remains crowded throughout the peak summer season, having a Mallorca villa nearby should secure your family a prime spot, if you can get up early enough.
If you don’t like the thought of sunbathing on a crowded beach, you may want to take the lead of many Mallorca tourists in the know and catch the holiday bus to El Trenc. El Trenc is a beautiful beach of clear water and white sands on which it is possible to spend an entire day of your Mallorca villa holiday. The beach has enough to occupy children and families, whilst couples may want to spend some time walking amongst the nearby pine dunes before sampling a delicious meal in the bar cum restaurant which is located close to the water’s edge.
