Luxury Villas to rent in Bendinat

Old Bendinat is the original seaside residential neighbourhood within easy reach of Palma’s centre 15 minutes away. It's also 20 minutes from the airport and five minutes from one of the trendiest marinas in Mallorca – Port Portals. You can find sandy beaches a five-minute walk away and access to some lovely seaside restaurants, shops and beach clubs.

Bendinat is made up of luxury apartments and villas as it is close to Palma and Puerto Portals, in contrast to more crowded areas such as Magaluf and Palmanova. Being a residential area, you can rub shoulders with locals who head to the pretty Illetas beach. Its name refers to a small island with an old watchtower that is located just offshore. While a popular spot, you can always find yourself a secluded little corner where you can cool off in the sea.

What makes Bendinat special?

A genuinely exclusive atmosphere. Luxury and the sea are in perfect harmony in this neighbourhood, providing a relaxing holiday with all the top-end comforts. Here you can find Bendinat Castle, built between 1855 and 1867. The 3rd Marquis of la Romana, Pedro Caro, commissioned the building in the Central European Gothic style. The 2,800-acre estate has had several private owners, including the Count of Montenegro. You can see the castle from a distance, but it’s not open to visitors. If you want to visit a Christian castle open to the public, we recommend the Bellver Castle in Palma.
