In the southwest one can meet all pair steps
stars and asterisks: Whether with the gulf(golfs), sails, suns or going
out. Stage freely for the shimmering gangway of the island. Here our top
Ten …
1) Enjoy the hospitality
of a diva
Whether actor, top sportsman, politician or economic boss: in the Mardavall
hotel
and Spa with Port of hall everything descends what has rank and name.
Now no miracle, because the five stars house open in summer, 2002 of the
Munich Schörghuber group already belongs to the most exclusive hotels
of Europe. For the Luxusresort of the superlatives 85 million Euros were
invested. It accommodates 4.700 square meters of Wellness landscape, five

bath). Around the clock a room service is available - on request even
an individual butler. The room prices can keep up naturally in the contest
of the superlatives: They pass from 500 to 2.500 Euros. If your purse
must fit here, allow yourselves, nevertheless, simply a flying visit in
the Mardavall - to the coffee, cocktail or Dinner (Asian and mediterranean
dishes in " Fum ", French kitchen in " S ` Aigua ", Passeig Calvià
s/n, Tel.: 971-62 96 29).
2) With Claudia
Schiffer putt
The golf course of Andratx is particularly announced with the Promis.
If you have luck, meet here even stars like Claudia Schiffer. Should the
German top model run to you just not about the way, simply putt to yourselves
to hole 2 with the surname " Casa Claudia " before - here a grand look
at the villa of the blond beauty presents itself with camp de
Mar. Incidentally you can reserve on the homepage of the golf course of
Andratx even your starting times. On request you get the confirmation

club Bendinat, Golf
de Poniente, Son
Vida and golf
Santa Ponça I to III (Santa Ponça II and III: Members

Son
Muntaner is open only to guests of three Schörghuber five-star
hotels Mardavall, Castillo Son Vida and Arabella Sheraton. You find info
to all golf courses of the island in Majorca today gulf Guide under www.mallorca-golf.com.
3) See and are
seen In the world of the beauties and empires there is the foreign exchange:
be at the right time at the right place. Places to
are best, for example, the "Wellies" (Edificio Migjorn 23, Tel.: 971-67
64 44, snacks and bistro kitchen) and the "Ritzi" (Local 34/35; Tel.:
971-68 41 04, Italian kitchen) directly in the noble harbour of Port of
hall. With a cool drink you can attach contacts or enjoy simply relaxed
the view of luxury yachts and Society-Treiben.
In the evening the scene gladly meets in the bar " Havana Moon " (bar
No 46, Tel.: 971-67 75 22). Celebrate and flirting till four o'clock in
the morning with multicoloured Caribbean cocktails!
4) Experience a
culinary festival
Eating culture at the highest level! Who wants to spoil his stomach, has
in the southwest plentifully choice. An institution is the two stars restaurant
"Tristán" of top cook Gerhard Schwaiger in Port of hall (Local
1, Ed. Capitania s/n, Tel.:971-67 55 47).
For the big wine cellar are occupied in the meantime like two Somelliers.
In the gourmet's restaurant " It Romaní " of the Lindner golf and
Wellness Resorts in hall Nous the Austrian Michael Schwaighofer conjures
mediterranean firm menus on the designer's table - he harvests the herbs
freshly from his own garden (C/. Arquitecto Francisco Casas 18, Tel.:
971-70 77 77).
5) On a luxury
yacht sail
While seeing the noble yachts in hall Nous one is seized properly by the
sail fever. Nothing like from to the sailing school! There are newcomer's
courses as well as construction courses for experienced Skipper (e.g.,
Balmar Yachting S.L., 07138 Costa de Calma,
Tel.: 971-692733, E-mail: balmar-yachting@bitel.es).
To experience the island from the water, however, you must not necessarily
set yourselves the sails. Of day and Mehrtagestouren, e.g., the firm offers
" Kaya Lodge " (Paderborn, Tel.: 05254-942525). One
of the routes leads from Palma along the southwest coast to Port de
Sóller - past the places Santa Ponca, Andratx, Sant Elm and the
nature island Sa Dragonera (http://segeltoerns.de/blaureimall.htm).
For about 1.400 Euros during the day you can charter even your own luxury
yacht with Skipper - air crew included (http://www.brabus.com
/ yachtcharter /d01.htm). Tip: In a small
group of six to eight persons the expensive yacht pleasure also for average
wage earner becomes affordable!
6) Sun themselves
by beaches ripe for film Emerald-green water, the finest white sand, all around Pinienhaine
and steep rocks: this background is almost too beautiful to be true! But
paid attention: some nature beaches in the southwest have established
themselves as FKK areas (e.g., Cala s ` Olla, Platja del
Mago and Cala Bella Dona). This is perfect naturally for fans of the smooth
brownness, but definitely not everybody's thing. Incidentally: Promi-Sichter
come occasionally also at your expenses - e.g., in the Cala Fornells in
the west Pegueras or on the beach of hall Nous. You find other info to
the beaches of Majorca in Majorca today beach Guide under www.mallorca-strand.de.
7) Time are spoiled
so correctly
Just in the southwest of Majorca Wellness is written in capital letters.
Who plans a relaxation-vacation purely, books best one of the exclusive
Wellness hotels. With the 4.700 square meter Spa area of Europe the Mardavall
has to offer with Port of hall (www.altiraspa.com).
Absolute Highlight is the Thalasso temple. Also external guests can use
the Spa offer (day ticket about 80 Euros). The Arabella Sheraton Golf
Hotel Son Vida also disposes of own Altira-Spa area. The AltiraSPA thought

and Wellness Resort and the Punta Negra in hall Nous (with Beauty

8) Native flora
and fauna investigate
The place Sant Elm and the preceding mini-island Sa Dragonera is true
nature paradise. Sant Elm, after the patron saint of the sailors designated,
accommodates beautiful pebble bays and sandy bays. A diving excursion
is worthwhile here because of the breathtaking underwater vegetation particularly!
(" Scuba Activa ", Mathias Günther, Plaça Monseñor
Sebastian Grau 7, Tel.: 971-23 91 02). The protected area " Sa Dragonera
" is a popular aim for bird's lover. Pair of glasses do not forget! You
can observe, e.g., the rare Eleonorenfalken and a big variety in sea birds.
The endemic Balearic Islands Tragant inspire botanist. Incidentally the
island does " Sa Dragonera " to their name all honour: It is teeming with
Balearic Islands lizards of the kind" Lacerta lilfordigigliolii ". " One reaches Sa Dragonera "
from Sant Elm by ferry (every hour from 10.15 o'clock, on Mondays). Tip:
Do a positive boat round trip along the island coast (about 11 Euros,
" Crucero Margarita ", Tel.: 696-423933). One cannot see in the wildly
romantic nature bays himself at all fully!
9) Dive into the
multicoloured pleasure In the region Calvià gives ` s every amount of beautiful, amusing
and exciting enterprise possibilities. With the submarine "Nemo" you can
explore, e.g., the underwater world and consider exotic fish (" Nemo submarine
S.L. ", C./Galeon 2, Magaluf, Tel.: 971-13
02 44). Adventurous water slides whizz you in the western Water park down
(C./Cala Figuera, Sa Porassa 12-22, Magaluf).
A dolphin and parrot show, an aquarium with exotic animals and every amount
of fun for young and old is offered you in the naval country (Costa d
` en Blanes, Calviá, Tel.: 971-67 51 25). Today is your luck stay?
Then you do an excursion in single casino of Majorca and use your good
fortune with the American roulettes, Black Jack or in the gambling machine.
The connected palladium impresses with a glamorous Nightshow (C/. Cala
Figuera, booking "palladium" under Tel.: 971-45 45 08, casino: 971-13
00 00).
10) Get to know
variety of Majorca
The southwest is a perfect starting point for ..., actually, everything!
In order to walk and cycling you drive from Andratx only a few kilometers
in the Tramuntana mountains - about fantastic Westküsten-Strasse
C-710 which leads to Pollenca (at all costs Lluc) get out in Banyalbufar,
Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller and monastery. To the shopping
in the capital Palma you need thanks to highway accessibility also only
a quarter of an hour.
