Escape to the beautiful Balearics with a stay in this contemporary villa. Based right on the water, in the affluent Mal Pas neighbourhood, you’ve got direct beach access to Sant Pere and Sant Joan. Here you’ll find white sands, turquoise seas that are perfect for snorkelling and rustic beach bars serving ice-cold beers. The villa is a real head-turner, with angular shapes, and sightlines straight through the living area to the ocean and mountains. Interiors are modern with design-forward furniture in neutral tones and a white gloss kitchen, but the exposed blonde stone gives a nod to traditional Mallorcan architecture. The oh-so-chic pool area has us wanting to break out the bikini right away, and there couldn’t be a dreamier place to top up the tan than the roof terrace, with its shimmering vista. Be the first to hit the beach and the last to leave, with a quick break for lunch on the shady terrace. Come sundown, the roof terrace beckons, for sangria and nibbles.

*One of the bedrooms is in a separate building at the end of the garden, beyond the pool. It has its own bathroom
