How to rent a vacation property?
In general, we recommend that you first choose a property on our website according to your preferences. We will be happy to assist you in your selection. If you are interested in a property, you can send a request and we can pre-reserve this property for 2 days and send you an offer. Within 48 h hours, you can now confirm to us, if you want to book the property. In this case, you have to pay a deposit of 30% of the rent by bank transfer. Upon receipt of the deposit, we will send you a confirmation email. The final payment has to be made 5 weeks prior to arrival.
Is there a tourist tax on Majorca?
Yes, the Balearic government introduces a tourist tax to the 1st of July 2016. The costs can range between 0,25 and 2,00 Euro per person and night. The exact amount is related to the kind of property, the length of the stay and the travel period. Children and teenager up to 16 years are exempted. The tax must be paid by the owner of the holiday property. Please note that because of this you may be required to pay the tourist tax upon your arrival. Here you can also see the official legislation with price list
