Villa Valerie is located in the small coastal hamlet of Sa Rapita, which has a selection of local restaurants and shops to choose from. It is within a few minutes drive of one of the island’s prettiest beaches – Es Trenc is a nature reserve and 4km stretch of fine white sand and clear blue sea.

For a wider selection of restaurants and shops, Campos is 12km inland, and boasts the best patisserie in Majorca.

Colina de Sant Jordi is 10km away and has pleasant harbour side restaurants.The beach of Sa Platja des Port is located next to the marina and fishing port, and has excellent facilities. On either side of the town are fabulous beaches such as Ets Estanys, Es Trenc, Es Dolc and Es Carbo. At 9.30am every day a small ferry takes the short trip to the island of Cabrera (Goat Island). This tiny rocky island measures 4 x 3 miles and was designated a National Park in 1991. As a result there is absolutely no development there, not even a restaurant to grab a little lunch, but the island does have a colourful history. Once a haven for pirates, it served as a prisoner of war camp during the Napoleonic Wars.

An unpretentious little town a ten minute drive from the coast, Felanitx is best known for its ceramics, capers and locally produced wine. The local market is held in the town square next to a 13th Century church, and you can buy many of these traditional items here on a Sunday morning. Take a drive 10 minute to the coast and you will find yourself in Cala d’or. On the top of the hill you can see the fortress and castle which played an important role in Arab resistence
