Santanyi Holidays

In the south east of Majorca, in a natural area that has changed little over the centuries, is the 700 year old village of Santanyi. Close to a 35km stretch of coastline that includes some of the best unspoilt coves on the island, as well as the Mondrago Natural Park, it is a haven for walkers and artists, as well as those seeking a taste of Majorca away from the tourist route. Typical Majorcan architecture, white sand beaches bordering crystal clear water, and acres of wild, untouched countryside await.

Founded in the 13th century on the site of an existing settlement, Santanyi is a delightful mix of old and the new Majorca. In the old quarter, the traditional architecture is made from particularly fine Mares stone and includes the Parish Church of Sant Andreu. In the village square, designer boutiques and international restaurants are as numerous as tapas bars and shops selling local handcrafted jewellery. Nearby, meanwhile, are more attractions. A protected nature area with fine beaches, dunes and wetlands features spectacular cliffs and local wildlife. The city of Felanitx, with its row of picturesque windmills and sumptuous parish church, is perfect for strolling around. And the tiny fishing port of Cala Figuera is one of the loveliest on the whole island, giving you plenty to see, and lots to remember.

Looking for something more than big hotels, bright lights and a bustling beach for your next holiday? In Santanyi, nestled in Majorca's peaceful southeastern corner, you'll discover a side to the island few have experienced.

You'll be staying in the gorgeous Can Servera Villa on your self catering holidays in Santanyi. So start getting excited about lazy days by the pool, leisurely barbecues and al fresco dining in the warm sunshine. Although it's rolling green countryside on all four sides, it's only a four minute walk into this seven hundred-year-old village.

You can spot it from miles away. Standing sentinel in the midst of the quaint ochre coloured buildings of the old quarter is the Parish Church of Sant Andreu. Make sure you browse the handful of art galleries in the village for a memento of your Santanyi holiday.

Around the village square you'll find designer boutiques and restaurants serving international cuisine, traditional tapas bars and small shops selling handcrafted jewellery too.

If you fancy a day by the sea when you're on your holidays in Santanyi then head for Cala Santanyi, 4.5km to the south. You may recognise the famous 'Es Pontas' stone arch which has been worn away by the relentless waves. And if you're a diver, then there's a lovely underwater cave to be explored under the turquoise sea.

However active or horizontal you choose to be when you travel to Santanyi, there's only one thing for sure. One visit is not enough to this picture postcard perfect part of Majorca.
