Aldea II Cala Fornells, Peguera

Aldea II Cala Fornells is made for lingering over the view. Perched on a Mallorcan hillside above Cala Fornells, this apartment-style retreat has a relaxed, traditionally Mediterranean feel, with whitewashed country-house character and wide-open vistas across the cove and towards the bays of Peguera and Santa Ponsa. The panoramic pool terrace is its natural centrepiece: the sort of place where a swim comes with an expansive sea backdrop.

The property sits in Cala Fornells, close to Peguera on Mallorca’s southwest coast, around 22 km from Palma and 30 km from the airport. It works especially well for independent travellers and families who prefer an apartment base to a conventional hotel room, while still having a snack bar and the on-site La Gritta restaurant for easy meals. There is bicycle storage for guests exploring on two wheels; Wi-Fi is available for an additional charge.

Guests’ comments tend to focus on the practical comforts that make longer stays easier, including apartments with washing machines, alongside the appeal of dining at La Gritta. The setting is often the lasting impression: a charming place above the coast rather than in the middle of the main resort, with the sea views doing much of the talking.
