Lourdes home is the perfect place to stay when visiting Cala Galdana. It’s tucked away up a hill behind the main beach area, around a 10 minute walk. We visited with our 2 year old son, and the area is perfect for toddlers. The sea is calm and shallow so they can play to their hearts content, and there is also a splash pool, mini golf and water slides at a restaurant near the beach. Lourdes also provided a cot for us.
The apartment itself has everything you need for your stay. It’s peaceful, has a beautiful pool, an outdoor kitchen/BBQ area (which sadly we didn’t get to use as the evenings were chilly when we were there), two terraces - one with the sun, one sheltered and a traditional kitchen with dining table. If you plan on cooking at home, it’s best to have a car so you can reach the larger supermarkets for a big shop, the local shops stocked little fresh produce, but just enough to get you by. No meat or fish.
Lourdes neighbours greeted us and were so amazing with our son, playing and making him laugh. Lourdes was also on hand for advise whenever we needed it.
We visited some wonderful restaurants Cala Mitjana, Sa Luna and Delit and there are more rustic beaches you can visit if you fancy a 30 minute walk either way from the main Cala Galdana beach. Definitely worth the walk as they are more secluded and very beautiful.
The only thing we would recommend to Lourdes would be to leave a small welcome pack with a list of restaurants, shops, places to visit etc. Although Lourdes was on hand for questions, and was very prompt in answering, I always find this helps when you are travelling without the convenience of a hotel/travel rep.
It was a solid 10/10 for us and we hope to return again one day.
Thank you Lourdes for allowing us to use your home for our visit
