Sa-Tanquea rustic lodging in Fornalutx-Majorca-Sapin
Sa-Tanqueta rustic lodging in Majorca

Fornalutx, just like the entire Tramuntana region itself, offers its guests a diversity of cultural, sporting and culinary attractions, as well as impressive countryside – all year round.

In the summer a multitude of water-sports such as diving, canoeing, surfing and sailing are on offer in nearby Puerto de Sóller (only 15 minutes by car). In the immediate vicinity of the apartment complex is a tennis court which Sa Tanqueta is pleased to reserve for its guests. And golf fans will find that Fornalutx is conveniently located for the many golf courses on the island. The nearest one is only 20 minutes from the hotel and has 9 holes.

Above all, during the autumn and spring months, the countryside and mountains around Fornalutx are an irresistible temptation for extensive walks and cycle tours. We regularly organise walks from Sa Tanqueta to a private farmhouse in the Tramuntana mountains – food and drink included. An interesting opportunity to become familiar with life in the region at first hand. All in all a vast number of unspoilt mountain paths with varying degrees of difficulty guarantee a pleasurable ramble for walkers of all capabilities. In the winter months you can enjoy the peace and quiet, and in January you can admire the breathtaking natural spectacle when the almond trees blossom.

Those who prefer to discover culinary delights should try out one of the many little restaurants in the region. Be it Pa amb oli (the renowned farmhouse bread smeared with tomato and olive oil), suckling pig or freshly-caught fish and seafood – the cuisine of the Tramuntana has something to offer to suit all tastes and pockets.

Those who like to celebrate should not miss one of the numerous village festivals in the region. For here the accent is firmly placed on tradition and having a good time. And those who do not want to forego metropolitan life entirely can reach Palma, one of the most popular cultural and leisure centres in the Mediterranean, in a mere 40 minutes.
