The Best Welcome Pack for a Holiday Rental in Mallorca

A good welcome pack covers the first morning and the first evening with proper local food, not airport-shop basics, so nobody has to shop the moment they arrive. It works the same whether you are in a villa, a finca or a holiday apartment. This is a quick guide to what goes in a strong one, roughly what it costs, and whether to put it together yourself or have it delivered to the villa.

What a good welcome pack includes

The test of a welcome pack is simple: does it get you through arrival without a shop? That means breakfast sorted for the first morning, coffee and tea, milk, bread and water, and ideally something easy for the first evening so dinner is not another errand. Prep'd's Essential pack is built around exactly that, with bread, eggs, pasta and a tomato sauce, jamon iberico (jamón ibérico) and fuet, plus coffee, tea, milk, juice and water, enough for three or four people on day one with a bit spilling into day two. The local touches matter too: good Spanish wine and proper Mallorcan bread feel like a holiday in a way an airport meal deal never will.

Local tip: the thing people most often forget, and most regret forgetting, is water and coffee. Whatever else goes in, make sure those two are covered.

What it costs

A pack that genuinely covers arrival, rather than a token basket, runs from €65 up to €120, with VAT already included in the price. Build Your Own is priced on what you choose, with a €50 minimum and no upper limit, so a short arrival list can come in well under the fixed packs. The Essential at €70 is the most common starting point, and The Sunrise at €120 covers a full week of breakfast for two. Compared with the time, the hire-car mileage and the stress of finding an open supermarket after a flight, most people find that fair for arriving to a kitchen that is ready to go.

If a fixed pack is not quite right

Fixed packs suit most arrivals, but not everyone wants the same things. If you have allergies, fussy eaters, a particular brand of coffee you cannot do without, or you are staying long enough that a single pack will not cover it, Build Your Own lets you choose the items yourself rather than working around a set list. There is a €50 minimum and no limit on how much you add, so it works for a short arrival list or a full week. It is the option most people end up taking, which says something about how specific everyone's first shop really is.

Buy it yourself or have it delivered

You can absolutely put a welcome pack together yourself by shopping on the way from the airport, and if you land early and have the energy, that works. The trade is your first afternoon and a supermarket run. Having it delivered means it is timed to your arrival with your drinks chilled and ready, and where the property allows access before check-in it is inside and in the fridge waiting. For late arrivals, Sunday check-ins and rural or mountain villas, delivery is the easier call by some distance.

For hosts: a welcome gift for your guests

If you manage or own a holiday rental, whether that is a villa, a finca or an apartment, a welcome pack is a simple way to make arrival day your guests' favourite moment, and it can be set up so you cover it and the guest just chooses their preferences. It is the kind of touch that turns into a five-star review. If that is of interest, the partners page explains how it works.

Frequently asked questions

What should a villa welcome pack include?

At a minimum, breakfast for the first morning, coffee and tea, milk, bread and water, plus something easy for the first evening. Local touches like good Spanish wine and proper bread lift it from a basket of basics into a real welcome.

How much does a welcome pack cost in Mallorca?

Prep'd packs run from €65 to €120 with VAT included. The Climb is €65, The Essential €70, The Cellar €90, The Beach €115, and The Sunrise, a full week of breakfast for two, is €120. Build Your Own starts at €50.

Should I buy it myself or have it delivered?

If you land early and do not mind a supermarket stop, buying it yourself is fine. If you are arriving late, on a Sunday, or out at a rural or mountain villa, having it delivered, timed to your arrival with the drinks chilled, is much easier.

Can hosts gift a welcome pack to guests?

Yes. Hosts can cover a pack and have the guest simply choose their preferences, with no payment step for the guest. The partners page explains the options.

Can I choose the items myself instead of a fixed pack?

Yes. Build Your Own lets you pick what goes in rather than taking a set list, which is useful for allergies, fussy eaters, a specific brand you want, or a longer stay. Orders start at €50 and there is no limit on how much you add. It is the most popular option.

What's the most popular welcome pack?

Of the fixed packs, The Essential is the most common first choice because it covers the widest range of arrivals, with The Sunrise close behind for longer stays and couples. Overall, more people build their own order than take a fixed pack.

Do you only deliver to villas, or to fincas and apartments too?

Any holiday rental. Villas, fincas, apartments, townhouses and holiday homes booked through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or an agency are all the same to us. Rural fincas are some of our most common deliveries, because they are usually furthest from a supermarket.
