Activities
Boat Hire
Hire a Boat

Hiring a boat is a great way to explore some of Mallorca’s beautiful coves and whilst enjoying either a sedate sail or a high speed day out. There are numerous options of boat hire near to our villas, with the option with or without a skipper, so we’ll be able to find something suitable for you and your group. For a sedate way to explore the seas surrounding Mallorca, the Tudor Dawn is a 50 foot Brigantine Schooner that is available for hire as a shared or private yacht charter with skipper and crew. The schooner is based in Port de Pollença, where the cruises start.

In peak season, it is best to book as far in advance as possible in order to avoid disappointment.

Formentor Beach
Bask in the Sun

Mallorca has some of the most stunning beaches in the Mediterranean, with white fine sand and crystal-clear waters. Some are near to our villas and others are a little further afield but are more than worth the drive. Why not request a picnic from your Scott Dunn villa chef or hotel and make a day of it? Here is our list of recommended beaches in Mallorca.

Yoga
Find Your Inner Peace

Yoga is well known for promoting feelings of relaxation and ease: ideal for when you are on holiday. It is possible to join in the regular classes that are run in Pollença. However, to further the feeling of zen, why not let us arrange for a yoga teacher to come to give you a private lesson at the villa?

Or if you are a lover of both yoga and wine then why not combine the two in this bespoke Vino and Yoga experience at your Scott Dunn Villa.
