Mallorca Finca Guide for your holiday on the island

What does the name Finca mean? Finca was originally the name for the land and from this translation the term for the finca or country house was taken over. A finca lies always on the countryside and a finca always has a large plot of land of at least 7000m2, depending on the location and age of the house. Anyone who wants to book a finca (country house) for his vacation can always assume that he has no direct neighbours and can spend his vacation in a quiet and rural location.
A holiday home is always situated in an urbanization, a residential area with neighbours and usually you will also find nearby shopping possibilities. Depending on the location there can also be a beach nearby. The terms Chalet and Villa exist also and are often used in newer or modern holiday homes and differ only by the architectural style.
The modern chalets are built in the so-called Bauhaus style and rather minimalist. White and metal are here the preferred materials.
A villa can usually be found in the first sea line or it is a very impressive holiday home. A villa is very exclusive due to the location and facilities. The architectural style can be very different and is possible from modern to classic. Each region has its own style, in Cala D’Or for example, the villas are often kept in white. Depending on the location of the villa, the architecture is often easy to recognize.
We hope that this introduction has given you an initial overview which types of holiday homes are available at all.

Now we would like to give you further insights into the Mallorca finca rental.

For every taste and nearly every requirement, you can book a farmhouse or holiday home with us. There are small country houses and cottages for 2 persons and the larger ones for 4 people, a small family or friends. These accommodations can be found in many regions of the island.

The major part of holiday houses offers accommodation for 6 to 8 people. Here you will find a large selection. Ideal for 2 families are the houses for 8 people where 4 adults and 4 children can find plenty of space and can share the costs of the house. These cottages and holiday homes can be found in almost all regions of Majorca. Of course, these farmhouses are also ideal for a group of friends.

Next step is farmhouses and holiday homes from 9 people. You will find a large selection of all types of holiday homes such as villas, chalets and cottages for 10 and even 12 people. These holiday homes are of course also ideal for families or friends.
For 14 people and more, the selection is much smaller. Large country houses and holiday houses for 14 people and more are hard to find. But even here we offer a selection of holiday rentals up to 32 people. These objects are of course ideal for large groups as well as corporate events and meetings. Sometimes you can also book several houses in the neighbourhood or on a huge country property. Contact us, we are happy to advise you with our expertise.

The holiday houses can be found with different equipment and facilities. Whether a modern holiday home or a minimalist villa, a rustic country house or a new and modern house. In all categories Majorca is the right place to find your holiday home. It depends on the taste of each guest, whether the guest prefers a modern decor or rather like the typical and classic one. Here is basically everything to find and Majorca offers a very large selection.

Just tell us your wishes and ideas and we will choose the suitable accommodation for your next Majorca holiday.

The country hotels are again situated in the countryside same as the holiday houses. The hotels usually have only 4 to 12 rooms. Most of them are rather small. Ideal for our guests looking for peace but do not want to miss the hotel service. A beautiful garden with plenty of peace and comfortable double rooms or suites with breakfast pamper our guests in the beautiful country hotels in Majorca.

There are also Fincahotels only for adults, no children are allowed here. Of course, family hotels with children can also be found and there is a wide choice for every taste and requirement. From the romantic country hotel with typical charm to the luxury hotel for the discerning guest, almost everything is available in this category. Of course, we are also happy to advise you here.

Of course, with our Finca Guide we also want to give a first impression of the different regions. Mallorca is the largest island of the Balearic Islands and offers holidaymakers very different regions. The south with the capital Palma with its beautiful old town and the many beautiful lanes as well as the many excursion possibilities such as the cathedral, the landmark of Mallorca, the Bellver Castle or the Pueblo Español, the Spanish city, and much more. Next you will reach the region of Llucmajor with the beautiful beach of Cala Pi and Campos with the well-known beach Es Trenc and the salt lakes for the production of the Flor de Sal and the salt of Majorca. In this region you will find more beautiful coastal towns such as Sa Rapita and Colonia Sant Jordi with the fishing port and the many restaurants. From Colonia Sant Jordi you can take a boat to visit the nature reserve Cabrera or by comfortable excursion boat or by fast speedboat. Both are great trips. Along the coast we reach the typical village of Ses Salines. Here you will find nice restaurants and shops. From Ses Salines one arrives to the village Es Llombards as well as to Cala Llombards with the beautiful sand bay of the same name. On the way there you will pass the garden center Botanicactus, a visit is worthwhile in any case for all garden enthusiastic travellers. Further along the road you come to the very beautiful city of Santanyi. Here you will find very good restaurants in all price ranges and many shops. Every Wednesday and Saturday there is market day in Santanyi. From Santanyi you can also reach the dreamy village of Cala Figuera, which is and was a popular movie set. Again, you will find good restaurants by the sea and small shops. Ideal for a day trip. The Cala Santanyi with the small village and the bays of Calo des Moro and the bay Cala S’Almunia you will also find in this very beautiful region.

Further north you will find the town of Cala Ratjada with its harbour and a promenade with restaurants and lounge bars to party and chill out. We continue to the north and find there the places Can Picafort, Alcudia and Pollensa. All locations have large sandy beaches sloping gently into the water, ideal for families with small children. Alcudia has a harbour and great beaches and many excursion possibilities. There is an old town, a water park and a natural reserve, the park S’Albufera. Pollensa has also a romantic old town and Puerto de Pollensa has great sandy beaches like the Cala Sant Vicente. In the far north we still find the Cap Formentor with the beautiful viewing plateau.

From there you can reach the Serra de Tramuntana mountains via a very winding country road. The many small villages and the gorge Sa Calobra are certainly worth a visit. You will find many beautiful villages such as Estellencs and Banyalbufar. The well-known villages Valldemossa and Soller are also on this route. In Valldemossa you will find the townhouse where Frédéric Chopin once wrote his composition “Raindrops” and the writer George Sand, who spent the winter there with him, wrote the book “A Winter in Mallorca”. In Soller a must is to take a ride through the valley with the antique train “Der Rote Blitz”. The ride goes through the mountains to Palma. If you only want to drive a small distance, you can experience this tour from Soller to Puerto Soller. In the west we still find the places like Andratx, the mountain village and then the fashionable place for the beautiful and rich people, Puerto de Andratx. In the harbour you will find the luxury yachts and at the mountain you can see the luxury villas. Paguera and Santa Ponsa are then the typical tourist villages with mostly German guests and many restaurants with German cuisine and discos, as well as shops, cafes and bars.
In the middle of the island there are also lovely and beautiful villages such as Sineu with the traditional market every Wednesday or Petra with good wine cellars, Caimari with an olive factory, each of them worth a visit. Inca is the larger city in the middle of the island and well known for its leather manufacturers for all kind of leather goods and shoes. It is a good place for shopping and buy cheap shoes and leather goods in the several outlet stores. Sometimes you can also see the production. We hope that we have been able to tune you a little bit to the island holiday with its great variety and to bring Mallorca a bit closer to you.

The best way to explore the island is of course by rental car. Anyone who books an island vacation and rents a farmhouse or a holiday home should definitely book a rental car. Without a car, a holiday in a holiday house is not recommended. Due to the rural quiet location away from tourism, a car is nearly a must have. We can also advise you on this in detail. Do not hesitate to contact us or send us an e-mail and you will receive advice for your next vacation on the most beautiful island in the world.
