Where we are:
15 minutes drive south west of Palma and set on a headland between Cala Falco and Portals Vells, Villa Rosa in Sol de Mallorca with its own pool offers something for all the family. It stands in a small complex set back from the road and clustered around an ornamental lake with bougainvillea covered walkways between the houses. Nearest beach is within walking distance at the foot of the headland - other numerous large and small secluded beaches nearby. The Calvia coast covers a 50km stretch from the Bay of Palma to Cala Fornells, all the way to Sant Telm, the port closest to the dramatic, lizard-shaped island of Sa Dragonera, and includes some of Mallorca’s best beauty spots .Inland and along the precipitous West coast, you can tour some of the most enjoyable mountain scenery on the island. It is in this region west of Palma, with its stark contrasts, that you can appreciate how there still remain places that are more or less untouched by outside influence.
Local beaches:
There is a local beach at the foot of the headland on which the villa is located and is reached via a steep footpath suitable for the more active. The reward is a sandy cove which will most often be deserted.
Cala Vinas is a few minutes drive away as is the beach at Cala Falco. The broad sandy beaches at Palma Nova (which has a blue flag) and Santa Ponsa have all the facilities expected of a popular resort.
A fifteen minutes drive away is Portals Vells. The tiny bay of glistening turquoise water that is the feature of Portals Vells is located down a pretty, country lane at the end of a pine-scented peninsula. The sandy beach is safe for children and rarely gets really crowded. This is where owners of yachts and power boats drop anchor during the day and come ashore to eat in the very good fish restaurant and beach bar. Walk along the south side of the cliffs to reach the Cove de la Mare de Deu There is a splendid view across the bay towards Palma cathedral from here.
