Further details
The resort of Playas de Fornells is different from what many people expect a seaside resort to be, as whilst self sufficient in its amenities, it is the very essence of peacefulness and tranquillity as there are no nightclubs, nor does it have wall to wall bars. The emphasis is on 'La Calma' - where you are encouraged to simply relax and let the world pass-by. The peacefulness and tranquillity together with the self-sufficiency of this resort make it an ideal destination for both families and couples of any age. There are plenty of activities in and around the resort, albeit most of them water based, diving, wind surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, etc whilst horse riding, walking, cycling, golf, boat trips and of course shopping are all on hand nearby. The capital of Mahon is well worth a visit as is the spectacular harbour (second largest in the world) and visit the little ‘tiendas’ and tapas bars in the old city squares and along the harbour. The old capital of Ciutadella is a medieval walled city that was built by wealthy merchants and still contains many of their palaces, try the cobbled, narrow streets that adorn the old city centre near the cathedral or visit the old fish market or the fruit and vegetable stalls. The island has over 300 beaches most of them unspoilt, having no commercial activity at all, our own favourites are on the Cape de Cavalleria close to Fornells, here you can expect to see amongst many others, wild goats, eagles, ospreys and little egrets. Guests' safety: in compliance with EU edicts all our properties are fitted with smoke alarms, wall mounted fire extinguishers and where applicable, terrace safety netting and child bedroom window restrictors.
