The Marratxinet Residence
Perks for the Parents
A beautifully-designed finca in the heart of Mallorca, with a private pool and panoramic sea views. It sleeps 12. Parents will be amazed by the gorgeous pool and gardens: the estate centers around a courtyard filled with palm trees and native flora, moving on to expansive gardens with charming outhouses, shaded reading areas and spaces to relax. There’s also a stylish outdoor kitchen area with a bbq and wood-fired oven for entertaining or laid-back family meals. The house offers lots of different areas for parents to escape to for privacy and relaxation, with heaps of design features and unique interiors - the perfect Mallorcan hideaway!
Why Kids Love it
The house is owned by a family with 3 children (aged 9, 12 and 14) so it’s always set up for family stays. They’ll love playing outside in the pool, and there’s lots of shade in the gardens to relax outdoors or take an afternoon nap. Kids of all ages can explore the vast estate, pick fruit from the trees and spot the cats who roam the grounds! There’s a zoo just 15 minutes away and plenty of beaches to choose from around the island, the closest being just 15 minutes’ drive. For those with teens, take a day out to Palma for an urban experience in the old town.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 5 nights. Safety notes: the pool is not gated and there’s also an ungated pond in the gardens. It’s a very secure property with an electronic entry gate. Staff live on the estate but have a separate entrance and entirely separate properties. Car rental is essential to explore the island; parking for 8 cars is available onsite (with 2 spaces in a covered garage). The airport is less than 20 minutes’ drive. ETV Registration number: ETV 15755.
About the Location
The property is located just 10 minutes’ walk from Pórtol, in a quiet rural neighborhood. The town of Pórtol offers an authentic local experience with excellent bars, restaurants, and shops. Enjoy the best of both a secluded property and vibrant local culture. It’s around 15-20 minutes’ drive from Palma (and the beaches on the south coast) and half an hour to Soller and the beaches of the north coast. The property is an ideal base for families to explore this great island.

Style Notes
Boho botanical. This property is a rare architectural gem in Mallorca, designed in the enchanting Hacienda style. It’s been the backdrop for many photo shoots by Vogue, Conde Nast, the New York Times and more. The property is a mix of classic Mallorca and very styled interiors, creating an understated, barefoot luxury feel. We love the contrast between exposed stone walls and elegant parquet flooring, as well as the quirky modern art work and the beautifully rustic dining table.

Mallorca, Spain
Sandcastles and sunshine
One of Spain’s four sun-kissed Balearic islands, Mallorca is perfect for an easy family vacation. Popular beach resorts abound but there are hidden treasures too: golden stone hill towns, quiet beaches and olive groves, if you look hard enough. Take tots on the Palma-Soller vintage train, make sandcastles on the beach, and order kid-friendly tapas in beach bars. Pack sunscreen - you'll need it.
