Beach

The nearest beach is el Molinar. El Molinar beach is located in a small bay between two marinas and is 150 meters from your apartment. The coastal area is about 2 km with a nice promenade with bike path that connects the Arenal with Palma.

But Palma offers much more. Here is a list of the beaches of the city:

• Can Pere Antoni beach

It is two kilometers from the center and is famous for the magnificent views of the cathedral from its 800 meters of white sand; its access could not be more comfortable or easy, you can get there walking or renting a bike.

• Palma Beach

It is on the east coast of the capital and is a perfect beach for those who love walks along the seashore because it is long, as long as 5 kilometers; it is a beach of fine white sand, clear waters and little waves so it is also ideal for those travelling with children because it does not lack any service.

• Ciudad Jardín Beach

The bike path also reaches Ciudad Jardín, east of Palma; it is a large and comfortable beach, with all the services you may need and an area of restaurants and hotels nearby.

• Cala Estancia

A little beyond Ciudad Jardín is Cala Estancia, a beach just 200 meters long, clear waters and white sand, it is a beach sheltered from the wind near the promenade, a promenade where you can enjoy a rich gastronomic offer.

• Cala Mayor

It is in the southwest of Palma and is a sheltered beach of fine white sand and crystal clear waters; it has a blue flag ( distinctive that guarantees criteria for environmental information and education, safety, water quality, environmental management and services) and is easily accessible.

Currently, Mallorca has a total of 23 blue flag beaches and Santanyí is the Mallorcan municipality with more blue flags on its coast. Here is a list of the most recognized beaches (updated 2022):

• Santanyí: Cala Gran, Cala Llombards, Cala Mondragó (Sa Font de n’Alís), Cala Santanyí, S’Amarador.
• Felanitx: Cala Ferrera, Cala Marçal, Cala Sa Nau, Porto Colom (Platja S’Arenal).
• Muro: Muro.
• Palma: Cala Estància, Cala Major, Playa de Palma (El Arenal).
• Sant Llorenç des Cardassar: Cala Millor (Cala Nau), Sa Coma.
• Santa Margalida: Can Picafort, Son Bauló, Son Serra.
• Ses Salines: Es Dolç (Es Port).
• Son Servera: Cala Millor, Es Ribell.
• Pollença (Cala Barques, Cala Molins

Beds

Casa Luz and Casa Mar have three bedrooms each. One Master Bedroom with a comfortable double bed and two small bedrooms with a single bed each. One bathroom is – together with the bedrooms – on the first floor, and the other bathroom is located on the groundfloor.

Bikes & E-Scooters

Palma is ideal for bicycle rides. At the coastal line, you have the amazing bike path that connects Porto Pi in western Palma with el Arenal far in the east. Passing by el Molinar where you stay. Be a little bit careful: the electrical scooters are very popular here and they are allowed to use bike paths too. In my opinion a mistake. A lot of them obviously are faster than 25 km/h. But we can´t change it so be careful and watch out!

Anyhow, it is really very pleasurable to enjoy this bike path and discover the area. In Palma, you can also use the bike very easily as a lot of the areas are restricted for use by car so the traffic in the old town is not really problematic.

If you want to rent a bike you will find most rental stores around the Passeig del Borne close to the cathedral.

One example a lot of our clients were happy with is Call & Ride Bike Rental. You can pre-book your bikes with their website super easily: https://rentle.store/callnride/shop

They also rent E-Bikes and E-Scooters. To drive them you need to wear a warning vest in Palma. Very important and can result in high fines if you don´t do that …

The other place where you can find a lot of bicycle rentals is in El Arenal. A lot of race bikers use Mallorca since decades to do their winter and spring training so you are also able to rent really good sportive bikes if you like.

Just have a look yourself on google. Study a little bit of the reviews to see which rental store has the best choice for you and go ahead. It is super easy and will provide a lot of fun for your and your friends!

Do you want to rent something else? From Harley-Davidsons or quads to Yachts, you can rent everything on Mallorca. If you need assistance please do not hesitate to ask us!

Breakfast in the neighborhood

Hotel Portixol

The breakfast buffet is excellent and all the staff speak very good English. A good choice with personal service.

Es Vaixell

Small bar-café in the first line of Portixol. Simple menu, breakfast, “bocadillos”, salads and other small dishes. Special is the “llonguet”, the typical bread of Palma de Mallorca. Oval, with a small slit in the middle and a certain texture. Up to 200 llonguets are prepared here every day.

Enco

Restaurant primarily in Portixol, Italian small dishes, such as salads, carpaccio, etc. In the morning you can enjoy a delicious croissant and coffee.

Bus

Just maybe 150m from your accommodation you find bus stop no. 444. Here, the bus lines 18, 28 and 35 pass by. Sometimes you really have to wave your hands to make them stop. Anyhow, the buses are all relatively new and the frequency is okay! To go to Palma is not only cheap but comfortable. To go to the airport we recommend a taxi, the ride by bus is 40 minutes or more.

Please bare in mind that there still is an obligation to wear a mask on all sorts of public transportation.

In Mallorca you can find two types of buses. On the one hand, those belonging to the EMT and operating in the center of Palma, and the TIB, yellow buses that are responsible for linking the different towns of Mallorca.

Check-in

Our personal check-in is during weekdays from 3 pm – 6 pm.

If you arrive at any other time or you prefer a contactless check-in we can do a remote check-in for you. We will provide you with a code to get the keys so you can enter Casa Luz on your own whenever you like!

An important necessity to do so is to register for our online check-in before. We need the passport data of all travellers to report to local police authorities. This is essential to provide you with smooth experience of our contactless check-in.

We will put a little present in the kitchen for you. You must be tired after your journey and happy with a glass of wine. Enjoy it! If you have any questions, for example on topics such as WiFi or “where to find what”, please take a look at our guest information which we have put online for you.

Check-out

Please note that our check-out process is typically set for no later than 11:00 am on the day of departure.

This is because our dedicated service team needs at least 3-4 hours to thoroughly clean each house. Without this allotted time, we might not have the house ready for the next guests’ arrival. To provide every guest with the best possible experience, we must, unfortunately, decline requests for late check-outs, incorporating a small buffer for safety.

However, should your departure flight, for example, be later in the day and you wish to continue enjoying the wonderful island of Mallorca, we would be more than happy to store your luggage in our office at c/ Vicari Joaquin Fuster, 31 in Portixol!

It is essential to know that the insurance covered with the European insurance card explicitly only includes treatments covered by the local health service in this country. In Spain, for example, all dental treatment is excluded. If you have to pay for treatment, you should always get a receipt so that you can later apply for reimbursement from the insurance provider in your home country.

For instance, the German Liaison Office summarises further important information for Health Insurance Abroad on its website www.dvka.de. There you can also find the leaflet “Health Insurance Abroad”. The brochure “Holidays in Spain” can also be downloaded there.

Parking places

In general, it is always possible to find a parking space if you are prepared to park a few metres away from the house. There are basically good times to look for a parking space. And not so good.

As in almost all residential areas, it is easier to find a parking space in the morning than in the late afternoon when the Spanish come to the beach. There is no charge from the municipality for public parking.

We usually have parking spaces available in buildings where we have flats. They cost 24 euros per day. My recommendation, however, is not to take a parking space and rather leave the car.

You can do everything important for your daily needs by walking, taxis are relatively cheap and the bus stop is around the corner. Buses run regularly and are also cheap.

Car parks in Palma are expensive and often overcrowded. There are also a wide variety of entry restrictions into the city (“Acire”) that can result in heavy fines, even if you accidentally disregard them, which is easy to do.

Tap water

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is whether tap water in Palma can be consumed. The truth is that there are some areas where water consumption at home is not advisable. However, in the city of Palma, the water supplied by Emaya is potable and meets all the quality standards established by national and international legislation and it is meticulously controlled.

In addition, when you walk around the city you will find drinking water fountains specially designed to fill reusable bottle and canteens. It is important for you to know that this is water from EMAYA’s general network treated only with a carbon filter to improve its taste.

Washing machine

Casa Luz and Casa Mar have a washing machine in the kitchen. So you are free and flexible to wash whenever you want. Please consider from time to time to clean the tile strainer. We also provide a flat iron for your disposal in both apartments and a laundry rack to dry what you washed before.
