Airport and tips
The transfer to Palma airport takes about 45-55 minutes (roughly 50 km by motorway). If you arrive or leave by taxi, book it in advance, especially for early flights or in peak season, when demand is high. A tip: when you book, confirm the approximate fare for the airport run so there are no surprises. And if your plan is to move around the area a lot (Es Trenc, coves, inland villages), consider a hire car: for that it’s more comfortable and works out cheaper.
Taxi numbers and fares can change. Confirm the number and the approximate price when you book; if you stay with us, we’re happy to help you arrange the transfer.
FAQ
Are there taxis in Colònia de Sant Jordi?
Yes, but only a few (it’s a small town), so it’s best to book ahead, especially in summer and for the airport. There is a local taxi service in Colònia and also in nearby Campos and Santanyí.
How long is the taxi to Palma airport?
About 45-55 minutes, roughly 50 km by motorway. Book the taxi in advance if you have a flight, especially early in the morning.
Do I need a taxi or a hire car?
If you only want the beach and the town, a taxi for the transfer and then getting around on foot works well. If you want to explore the area (Es Trenc, coves, villages), a hire car is more practical.
Who it’s for (and who it isn’t)
Great if you need a taxi now and then: airport, a night out or without a car.
Skip it if you get around the village on foot: almost everything is close.
Local tip: in summer and at night, book by phone ahead; save the number, there aren’t always taxis waiting at the rank.
