Vacation Rental Description
Great for all year round relaxation in a thriving local community (not simply a tourist town). If you like walking, swimming, cycling , playing golf or just chilling out, this is a great location with a wide range of interests catered for. The apartment is close to a selection of beautiful sandy beaches all within easy walking distance. Alternatively take a walk from the apartment up to the lighthouse on the headland to gain some great views across the island.
The evening is an ideal time to stroll down to the port area, with a varied choice of fine restaurants all facing the sea along a mile long stretch of 'paseo maritimo', meandering along the coast and free of traffic.
Alternatively a 5 minute walk gets you to the small cove of Cala Lliteras where you can enjoy a quiet drink at Sa Cova at the water's edge, unless it's Monday evening and you're in for a treat with live music as well (seasonal)!
The second floor apartment is located in a quiet part of the town with very little traffic noise, so that in the evening you can enjoy a quiet drink on the balcony and watch the sun set over the mountains, or take a walk into town and join in the hustle and bustle around the port area.
The open plan living area includes a separate dining space adjacent to the modern fully eqipped kitchen (there's even an ice crusher and large mugs!), and a lounging area with 2 double settees leading onto the patio doors to access the good size balcony. There is also a separate utility room off the kitchen. Bedroom 1 has patio doors onto the balcony and good sized cpds with it's own en-suite with bath/shower, whb and wc, whilst bedroom 2 has a shower/ whb/ wc adjacent. Glazing on 3 sides makes this a very light airy apartment . Electric ceiling mounted 3 speed fans in the bedrooms are great if it gets too warm at night. If you are feeling tired you can use the lift instead of the staircase. Great if you've been shopping!

Travel Options
- Nearest Airport : Palma Airport at 0 kilometers distance;
- Nearest Train Station : Manacor at 30 kilometers distance
- Travel Info: Fly to Palma airport, Ryanair and Easyjest often offer good value flights. The apartment is approximatley 55 minutes drive from the airport on good main roads (by-passing all towns en route) and easily located once you reach the resort.
For car hire try the various internet comparison sites as these prices tend to be cheaper than going to companies direct. We would recommend that you choose a company that has an office in the terminal building to make your transition from air to land that bit smoother. We generally use Aurigacrown.
If you wish to travel by bus there are various 'shuttle' services from the airport dropping off at the nearest apartment hotel which is Turo Pins only a short walk from the apartment (the cost is currently approx. 24 euros return per person). example: http://www.palma-airport-transfers.com, see also 'resort hoppa' and 'transunion'.
