Greetings from READS
After a busy and hot summer here at the hotel we now look forward to the autumn, winter and spring seasons.
Our
beautiful island has much to offer visitors outside of the summer
months. There is always plenty to do and places to discover and, of
course, right through the year the average temperature is much better
than in northern Europe.
Whatever the time of year READS is the perfect place to just chill out and you want some action, no problem we can provide it.
Other storiesPalma & Mallorca.........a perfect 12 month a year destination
At Reads outside the summer months we offer our guests
a great choice of things to do. Our position in the heart of the
countryside, but just a 15 minute drive from Palma, gives guests the
benefit of both worlds, city and countryside. And if you don't want to
hire a car there is the regular train service from Santa Maria to Palma
and without charge we can take you to and collect you from the station.
Palma, with a population of 400,000, is a beautiful city to explore when the summer crowds have left. It has shops (perfect for Christmas shopping!)
and restaurants to suit every taste, wonderful historical buildings to
discover, concerts to go to and always there is that Mediterranean
atmosphere and buzz. And like all cities by the sea it has that extra
something that inland cities don't have.

 Golf
Mallorca has become a paradise for golfers with 21 first class courses on the island and 7 of these golf courses within 30 minutes of the hotel.

is famous for being the ideal Mediterranean location for walkers,
particularly outside of the summer months. A chance to discover the

For guests who love walking the area around the hotel is perfect for
every level of walker. Suggested routes are available and a local guide
and a picnic can be provided.
