Cities

A visit to the charming medieval town of Artà and the castle ruins of Capdepera are lovely day trips. Can Picafort and the pretty town of Pollença, with its legendary Carrer del Calvari, are easily accessible by car. Those heading to Palma can discover a lot on the way (even if it's only about an hour away), and then enjoy the highlights of the island's capital. If you stop off in Petra, Sineu, Inca, Binisallem, or another beautiful place on the way to Palma and linger there, you won't go wrong. Palma will still have its treasures waiting for you tomorrow.

Beaches

Directly in Betlem, there are swimming opportunities and the small, dreamy beach "Mirador de Na Clara" (see the Discovery Tours section). There are also other small swimming spots between Betlem and Colonia de San Pedro. Those looking for a large sandy beach will find some fantastic examples, such as La Canova (near Son Serra de Marina), Cala Mesquida, Cala Torta, Cala Agulla, or, for something even livelier, Cala Son Moll (Cala Rajada).

sport

Jogging along the coast: Right or left, that is the question. Water: Swimming, snorkeling, sailing, motorboating, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing... take your pick. Golf: It doesn't get much more beautiful: either in Capdepera or Canyamel. Tennis: How about a training session at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor? Ice skating on the village pond in Betlem: Unfortunately, we can't offer that.

Mediterranean lifestyle – right on your doorstep

The surroundings of the Bellavista

The idyllic town of Betlem lies in the northeast of Mallorca and marks the end of the Bay of Alcudia. Betlem is the starting point of an extensive nature reserve (Parc Natural de Llevant), and the road ends here, meaning there is no through traffic. Above Betlem and directly above Bellavista lies the Serra de Llevant mountain range, with our local mountain, Son Morell (Puig d'en Moreel, the highest peak of the Serra de Llevant), and just a few kilometers away, the legendary Puig de Ferrutx. This creates a setting that is second to none: majestic mountain views on one side and a paradisiacal sea view on the other, all without the hustle and bustle of tourists, quite unique in Mallorca.

Despite all the paradisiacal surroundings, the basic necessities are also taken care of: a restaurant, a supermarket with all the essentials and a small café are located in Betlem and are open most of the year.
