Nearby Son Serra de Marina, about 4km away, is a quiet coastal town, off the beaten track and therefore not subject to the mass tourism of other parts of the island. You will find a small handful of places to eat and drink, a 400m long sandy beach and other stretches of coast within a short drive. White sandy beaches, sand dunes and turquoise seas perfect for surfing are backed by pine forests in the surrounding area.
This area is popular with Mallorcan day trippers or tourists looking for adventure sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, scuba-diving and canoeing. The beauty of the area attracts nature lovers who can enjoy walking or biking through the stunning countryside, looking out for rare species of animals or bird watching at the well-known S’Albufera wildlife sanctuary. The Son Real nature reserve is the perfect place to ride horses, take a guided tour, hike or simply relax in the very natural and wild surroundings.
The province is also well known for its large number of ancient sites, more than any other place on the island. A prehistoric necropolis and other archaeological remains can be found at Illot des Porros, a fantastic day trip for history lovers.
The nearby villages of Arta, Petra, Capdepera and Son Severa will give you a glimpse of the true beauty of rural and historic Mallorca. Alternatively, head to the more touristy spots and beaches of Colonia de San Pere, Can Picafort and Port d’Alcudia, all within a short distance from the villa.
