Villa Porrassa

Villa Porrassa is located on the seafront in the tiny resort of Cala Vinyes, in the southwest of Mallorca. Backed by the Serra de Tramuntana and flanked by carob and almond trees, the villa offers guests complete privacy and fantastic sea views. A selection of bars, cafes and supermarkets are all within walking distance from the villa. It is also just 300 m from Cala Vinyes beach.

Cala Vinyes is a small and quiet resort and popular with families. Its International Blue Flag beach is fringed by shady palm trees and has shallow, clean water and excellent facilities. After a peaceful swim here, you can enjoy a bite to eat at the chiringuito or beachside restaurant. For a great day out, head to the mooring next to the beach and hop on the special ferry that takes you into the capital, Palma. Alternatively, it’s a 15-minute drive from the villa. Dating back to the thirteenth century, Palma is full of historic buildings, narrow lanes and a tree-lined promenade and harbour. There’s plenty to see and do here but be sure to stop at Palma Cathedral. The cathedral dates back to the fourteenth century and is one of Mallorca’s most historical landmarks. Known as the Cathedral of Light, its 63 stained-glass windows flood the building with coloured light, with the most spectacular being the central rose window. Afterwards explore the old town with its museums and art galleries, then stop at The Mercat de l’Olivar, located in the heart of Palma, and browse the stalls packed with fresh fruit, herbs, fish and meat.

If you prefer to be surrounded by natural beauty, Calvia is just a 15-minutes drive from the villa. Hidden away in the hills, Calvia is the starting point for a number of mountain trails. Explore the area on foot or mountain bike, and afterwards, stop at a café and soak up the old-world charm and ancient architecture of this historic little town.

Although Cala Vinyes is wonderfully tranquil, the neighbouring resorts of Palmanova and Magaluf offer noisier distractions with their popular bars and nightclubs attracting a young and boisterous crowd. For more sophisticated nightlife, head to Porto Portals. It’s 10-minutes away by car and features what is considered to be the most glamorous marina on the island. Dine at one of the many portside restaurants, enjoy a drink at one of the cocktail bars or simply admire the super yachts bopping on the water.

THE REGION

The picturesque town of Calvià, with its relatively small number of shops and cafés, feels like a lifetime away from the coastal resorts that fall within its municipality. The town of Calvià is an attraction in its own right. The historical feel and ancient architecture provide enough of a draw to attract thousands of visitors every year. Many of the buildings date back to the 17th century.

Calvià’s central location on the southwest of the island makes it an ideal base for exploring the many surrounding resorts, bays, and mountains. Andratx and Puerto Portals are just a couple of the bigger resorts easily accessed from Calvià. While Magaluf, Santa Ponsa and Paguera will also be familiar to many visitors to the area.
