If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Palma de Mallorca that has it all, then look no further. We (8 of us-Ages 7-50) just returned from an incredible week in Villa Torre al Mar. As a family that has stayed in 17 different vacation rentals, from condos to villas throughout the Caribbean, Europe, & Africa, we were absolutely impressed with every aspect of this Villa.
The Villa: Villa Torre al Mar is beautiful, completely modern, clean and fully outfitted like a home, your home. When you first walk in, you can’t help but to notice that unlike other sterile vacation rentals, Villa Torre al Mar is someone’s home. We felt as if we’d walked into a relative’s home that we’d been asked to house sit. Every image of the villa that we saw on the website was 100% accurate, but fell short of the incredible beauty, privacy (separate floors enhanced the level of privacy, while the open floor plan let us all unite for meals and social time) and tranquility you’ll feel as you sit in the comfortable deck chairs by the pool or on the spacious balconies overlooking the hillside, ocean and the coast of Satanyi. The bedrooms were spacious, the en-suite bathrooms helped to add more privacy & reduce stress. The kitchen had everything we needed & then some. The pool was perfectly sized & the outdoor cooking area was great, as we cooked a few meals with groceries we’d picked up from the market down the road (you can also go to the Aldi @ 20 mins drive, for a wider variety & lower cost).
The Area: Situated on the SE coast of Palma, about a 30 min drive from the main airport, we found the Villa to be perfectly located on the quiet hillside near the gorgeous beach at Cala Santanyi (3 minute walk). Great restaurants, sites, snorkeling, cliff diving, activities, & SCUBA center, made this beach the perfect location for our family. In 10 minutes you can walk to the breathtaking sites of the natural arch (Ajuntment De Santanyi) & the Project Equilibrium South. Less than 10 minutes drive is the incredible Parc natural de Mondrago’, which was beautiful beyond words. The best meal we had on the island was at Cassai Restaurant in Ses Salinas, @ 20 mins drive.
Support: Mrs. Shaller & Xavier, her Property Manager, were always just a phone call or email away & answered our few questions immediately.
Bottom Line: Of all the places we've stayed in our efforts to travel the world, this is the first rental property which is already calling us to return.
