An exclusive retreat: Luxury townhouse with pool

Petra is a traditional small town with approximately 3,000 inhabitants in the heart of Mallorca, which is considered the “true Mallorca” due to its sand-colored houses and authentic charm. The village offers a solid infrastructure, including five supermarkets, various hairdressing salons, a flower shop, and a train connection. For well-being, there are three fitness studios with personal trainers, the Spa d‘es Pla, and several physiotherapists. Social life revolves around the two cozy village squares, which are lined with excellent restaurants and terraces. Historically, Petra is known as the birthplace of Fray Junípero Serra, the missionary considered the founder of California. The landscape is characterized by windmills, a testament to the former grain cultivation, although today, vineyards are increasingly cultivated; tours and wine tastings can also be organized here. A small weekly market with fresh fish and local products takes place every Wednesday morning. Annual highlights include the large Autumn Fair on the third Sunday in September, complemented by smaller festivals in the summer. A worthwhile elevation on the outskirts of the town is the Ermita de Bonany, which offers a place of peace and spectacular views over the plain. Despite its central location, Petra is well-connected: The nearest beaches can be reached in about 20 minutes, Palma in 40 minutes, and the airport in around 30 minutes.
