Casa Roel
in Cala Serena, Mallorca, Spain

A luxury villa with views across the sea inlet, where you can enjoy absolute privacy and tranquillity.  Casa Roel lets you experience life from the heart of the Mediterranean. The property, built in 2013, enjoys an elevated position with several terraces leading directly to the Mediterranean Sea.

ABOUT CALA SERENA, MALLORCA, SPAIN

A stone’s throw from the capital Palma and the airport, Mallorca’s sunny south & east have beautiful beaches and sleepy authentic inland towns, as well as lively resorts and watersports galore. Except for the resorts of Arenal, Can Pastilla and Cala d’Or, this region has a less touristy vibe than the southwest and is more geared towards experiencing relaxed fishing villages and long stretches of coastline backed by pristine nature reserves.

MAIN TOWNS & VILLAGES: SOUTHEAST

Santanyi

This small and traditional, yet upmarket, town is nestled within the countryside but is still within easy access to some of the island’s most breathtaking, unspoilt coastline. Wednesdays and Saturdays see the usually sleepy village come alive with what is considered one of Mallorca’s best and liveliest street markets.

Cala d’Or

With its Ibizan-style white buildings, the resort of Cala d’Or is centred around the five pine-fringed coves of Cala Gran, Cala Ferrera, Cala Esmerelda, Cala Llonga and Cala Serena.

Colònia Sant Jordi

Colonia Sant Jordi is blessed by its proximity to several major natural attractions. In particular, the 3km long unspoilt beach of Es Trenc, the national park and marine reserve of Cabrera, which is an archipelago of small islands offshore, and Mondrago National Park.
