At the end of the month of April, Grupo Ferrá started a new construction project in the breath-taking Serra de Tramuntana. Just days ago, we commenced the works for the 1st phase of the construction of Villas Falcó.
5 new luxury villas on the mountains and close to Palma
Located in Génova, the villas will enjoy a quiet environment and have been designed with an optimal orientation to take full advantage of the scenic views over the Tramuntana mountain range. These features are complemented by the convenience of having the amenities of Palma close at hand, just a few minutes away by car.
As part of this 1st phase of work we will build the structure of the 5 villas. Each one will have a built-up area of between 375 and 475 m2, depending on the villa. All villas will have 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms distributed over 2 floors, as well as various terraces, a garage and a private swimming pool.
Construction details
All villas will have specific details and features that make them individual and distinctive. However, they all share elements such as the materials used, for instance wood on fences and pergolas, and natural materials that help integrate the villas into their surroundings.
Grupo Ferrá would like to thank Bacco Properties for the trust that they have placed in our company.

This year has started with new challenges and opportunities for our construction company, including this hotel project in Ibiza. We have recently started the 2nd phase of the renovation of the Siau Ibiza Hotel, until recently known as Hotel Club San Miguel. We will execute the whole project thanks to a temporary joint venture between Ferrá Tur (Grupo Ferrá) and Estel Ingeniería.
Achieving our goals in every process
During this part of the renovation works, we will execute walls, technical systems and finishings. We will also be in charge of the development of footpaths, outdoor lighting and facilities, the swimming pools’ area and landscaped areas of the resort.
True to our commitment to excellence in all our projects, we will ensure that quality is the driving force in all processes.
See what the Siau Ibiza Hotel will look like
Once the refurbishment work has been completed, this holiday resort will reopen as an adult only establishment and will be upgraded from 3 to 5 stars.
Its 96 rooms are distributed over 6 one-floor buildings, joined together through the central building. Here guests will find the reception area, as well as bars and restaurants that will provide additional entertainment options.
The common areas of this 5-star hotel located in Puerto de San Miguel will comprise 2 swimming pools, several multi-purpose conference rooms, buffet and show-cooking areas.

“With this new office, Grupo Ferrá meets two of its strategic goals, territorial diversification and expansion of its service portfolio adding the construction of hotel buildings. The maturity, professionalism and reliability acquired in our very long history guarantee that we will consolidate our presence on the island, just as we have done in Majorca.”
Ferrá Tur’s General Manager, Toni Gurrera is confident that, in spite of the current circumstances, this is a new business opportunity for the company: “We have been studying the possibility of opening a new branch office in Ibiza for quite a long time and over this last year, due to the various projects that we have been contemplating in the island, we have come to the conclusion that this was the right moment to take this step forward. We have the intention of making this a long-term project and consolidating our presence on the island by establishing robust relationships with companies and suppliers, as well as by taking advantage of the new opportunities that will surely arise. We are convinced that Ibiza and Formentera will be among the first regions to experience a strong reactivation of their economies and our medium and long-term projections are very promising. At present we are very satisfied to be implementing the significant renovation of the former San Miguel Hotel, a landmark hotel establishment in the island located at the port of San Miguel”.

The two finals of the Mallorca Championships, of 250 ATP Tour category, organised by e|motion sports at the Mallorca Country Club of Santa Ponça, were held on Saturday the 1st of July. This year's Mallorca Championships, which as usual culminates the grass court tournament series preceding Wimbledon, has witnessed some thrilling victories and new achievements in the tennis world.
On the one hand, after a nerve-wracking final that lasted a little over 1 hour, US tennis player Christopher Eubanks, currently classified as the 77th worldwide tennis player, became the singles champion after defeating French player Adrian Mannarino, who holds the 43rd position on the world ranking. Eubanks, who is 27 years old, displayed a solid and dominant style throughout the tournament, taking advantage of his powerful serve to accumulate a total of 11 aces in the finals and more that 60 throughout the championship.
With this victory, the young tennis player wins his 1st ATP title, which shall be milestone in this professional career and improves his position in the worldwide ranking. For his part, Mannarino, 35 years old, fought valiantly in the final, but could not withstand Eubanks’ relentless game. Even though he did not get the title, his remarkable intervention is proof of his prowess on the court and a confirmation of his position as one of the world’s best tennis players.
But the surprises did not end there. In the doubles competition, the Yuki Bhambri and Lloyd Harris doubles pair won the title at a thrilling final against the Robin Haase and Philipp Oswald pair with a result of 6-3, 6-4. This victory is the 1st doubles title for Bhambri and Harris, who could not conceal their happiness and satisfaction at this achievement.
After all this, together with Kyrgios’ sudden withdrawal due to injury, Tsitsipas’ and Shelton's defeats, Feliciano López’s emotional retirement from professional tennis, we could well say that this year's Mallorca Championships has left us a legacy of firsts and powerful emotions. We have had the privilege to witness a display of talent and first-rate tennis, where both Eubanks and the Bhambri/Harris doubles pair have showcased their talent and determination on the court, cementing their presence from now on in the Mallorca Championships’ record.
Grupo Ferrá would like to extend our most heartfelt congratulations both to the winners and to e|motion sports and the Mallorca Country Club for the flawless organisation of this tournament. We are very proud to have participated in this edition of the Mallorca Championships as its official sponsors.

78 players (members of the Golf Association) participated in this 2nd edition of the tournament and enjoyed an exclusive day playing golf under the Stableford individual format, an event that generated such interest that there was a waiting list until a few days before its start. During the competition, participants took part in events such as the Ladies and Gents Scratch, Handicap in different categories, the longest Drive and the Closest-to-the-pin.
Among the participants, we were honoured by the support given by Bernardino Jaume (President of the Balearic Islands Golf Association), Bartolomé Tous (Vice-President of the Balearic Islands Golf Association), Salvador Losa (Island Councillor for Sports and Finance) and Toni Ramon (Local councillor for Sports of Santa Eulària).

Networking cocktail, award ceremony and extra presents with a Premium raffle
Following the tradition established last year, the golf session culminated with a delicious cocktail and an award ceremony held at the Hoyo 19 restaurant, located within the premises of the Golf Ibiza club. There, the players had a chance to get to know each other and exchange views on the tournament, while they enjoyed the dishes prepared by the restaurant, a photo booth organised by Sonríe 123 (Fotomatón Ibiza) and the live music offered by Pure Ibiza Radio.
