In the area of Calvià & Es Capdellà time flows slower. Far away from the intensive tourism and the city noise, this area is mainly influenced by the sociable Mallorquin lifestyle. The countryside is plenty of traditional fincas built in the Mediterranean style with very generous plots and mansions which are perfectly adapted to the beautiful nature of the southwest of Mallorca. Coming out to the end of the smooth winter the almond blossoms offer a beautiful natural spectacle which is even more intensive in this area. Due to the weekly markets where you can enjoy different Mallorquin specialities and the all year-round opened local restaurants, this area is popular for Mallorca residents as well as for owners of a second domicile. Although it represents a rural area, the connection to the capital Palma de Mallorca and its airport is excellent as you can reach it in aprox. 20 minutes drive on the motorway. Furthermore, the golf courses of Santa Ponsa I, II and III, the golf course of Poniente as well as the Royal Golf Club of Bendinat are five excellent courses which are also situated in the surroundings. The luxurious yacht harbour Puerto Portals and the new jetset harbour Port Adriano are also reachable at short distance by car.
