A school year in Mallorca: renting a house with a garden for the family, month by month

A school year fits into one booking. Here is how to rent a furnished house with a garden for your family for a set number of months, from planning the dates to booking.

· MUVAWAY

Open kitchen and dining area with a large table and a children's ride-on car in a furnished home

A whole school year fits into one booking: on MUVAWAY you rent a furnished house, finca or large monthly apartment for up to 12 months, for example from late August to early July. Search with exactly those dates, check the listing for a garden and bedrooms, and introduce your family in your own words when you book. The landlord confirms, and you see all costs beforehand.

How is this different from a family move?

How to compare total cost, rooms and daily journeys for a move is covered in the guide Find a furnished home in Mallorca for your family's move. This one is about a single year: you know when it starts and when it ends, and you want to live those months in a house with a garden.

How do I plan the dates?

Plan move-in a few days before the first school day so the children can settle in, and move-out after the last one. A booking runs from 32 nights to at most 12 months; each landlord sets their own minimum and maximum stay in the listing. Move-in can be up to 12 months ahead, so you can search early.

What does a family look for in a house?

Count bedrooms and beds, check the maximum number of occupants in the house rules and look at the amenities: washing machine, heating for the winter months, internet and a workspace if one parent works from home. If there is a pool, ask in the chat how it is secured. If a dog or cat is coming along, read the guide Living in Mallorca for months with a dog or cat.

You arrange the school place yourself. The location shown is approximate; check school journeys against it and ask in the chat if you need to know more.

What do I write when I book?

In the introduction field you tell the landlord in your own words who is moving in, for which school year and why you are living in Mallorca. Leave out health information. The landlord reads your introduction and decides on their own.

What does a school year cost?

Before the final click, the booking summary shows the monthly rent, utilities and deposit. If the landlord has summer and winter prices, the booking works out a blended price: every month of your booking costs the same. Some landlords offer a discount from 3 or from 6 months.

You save your card when you book; nothing is charged until the landlord replies. From the second month, the rent is charged to the card automatically. You pay the deposit directly to the landlord at key handover.
