About Majorca
You’ll find our luxury villas in Majorca in a variety of settings, from fishing villages and rural mountain towns to elevated positions overlooking the sea. Elegant hilltop fincas, like San Mariana in the wine district town of Santa Maria, offer views over nearby villages and vine-clad slopes.
An excellent road network coupled with Majorca’s relatively small size means you’re never far from the coast. Seek an isolated cove for a romantic dip, or find a safe sandy beach for little ones can paddle. Our villas all offer easy access to Majorca’s many highlights, including popular attractions like the zoo or the Caves of Drach.
It’s well worth spending a day in the capital, Palma. The buzzy marina is a great place to watch the world go by, and there are numerous boutiques and galleries waiting to be discovered. Come at night and enjoy illuminated views of the vast Gothic cathedral when its massive buttresses are uplit from below.
Unsurprisingly, Majorca’s coastline is its star attraction. From snorkelling and sea kayaking to splashing about in the shallows, you’re sure to find a beach to suit your needs. We can arrange a host of other activities too. In the north around Pollença and Alcudia you’ll find several renowned golf courses, while rock climbing is possible in the Tramuntana Mountain range. For something more sedate, we recommend the Soller Train through the mountains, or a trip to the village of Deia for some fresh seafood at one of its famous fish restaurants.

Currency
The Euro (€) is the official currency of Spain. Coins are available in 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, 50, cent , €1 & €2 denominations. Notes are available in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, €500 denominations.
Money Matters
Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here (though a limited number of merchants have American Express accounts) and ATM access is widespread.
Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in-country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure.
Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
Tipping Suggestions
The Spaniards are fairly relaxed about tipping etiquette. However service is not usually included in restaurants and it is common practice to leave the spare change, or up to 10% of the total in a smarter restaurant. Taxi drivers and bartenders may be tipped less. Many petrol stations are not self service, however it is not usual to tip the station attendant.
