While sunbathing, hiking, and sailing are most certainly on the cards on this sun-soaked island, some of us are simply looking for a rural, isolated escape. That’s where this home comes in. Although just a ten-minute drive from the nearest town of Felanitx, this inland oasis feels a world away from everyone.

As you approach the home, it gives off a rustic, farmhouse vibe with a traditional look. Honey-coloured stone, wooden shutters, and a terracotta roof are everything you might expect, but the reality is closer to modern luxury. The outdoor area feels more VIP than rural life – palm trees and delicate native flowers line the perimeter, creating a green wall around four-poster sun loungers, multiple terraces, an outdoor grill, shady verandahs, hammocks, and a swimming pool. We love this vast, maze-like space, where you can chase the sun to keep finding secret spots and hidden corners to sip Mallorcan wine.

As the sun goes down, you might head inside to get cosy beneath traditional wooden beams, or beside the wood-burning stove. With vintage trinkets and an eclectic mix of art in gilded frames, this home feels more like a quirky museum – a wonderfully unique stay on a wonderfully unique island.
