Finca or seafront villa – which suits you?
A finca offers more space, peace and land for a lower price but is usually 20–40 minutes from the beach. A seafront villa costs more but gives you sea views, sunsets and short walks to the water. For families and large groups on a budget, a finca is often the better choice.

Who is a finca right for?
Fincas are traditional stone country houses. They suit families with children who need room to play and groups who want peace and like to cook. La Finca Only Summer near Inca, for example, has an organic garden, its own bees and over 200 m² of terraces with mountain views – from €890 per night for 10 guests.
Who is a seafront villa right for?
If you want to jump into the sea in the morning and watch the sunset over the water in the evening, choose the seafront villa. Villa Las Madrugadas has direct sea access with its own jetty; Villas Del Mar an infinity pool on the cliff above Camp de Mar.
Our recommendation
Families with young children: a finca with a fenced pool. Couples and groups of friends focused on enjoyment: a sea-view villa. Large groups on a budget: an estate or manor in central Mallorca – central, spacious and cheaper per person.
