Beach lovers – this one's for you. A mere hundred-metre stroll from the shores of Port de Pollença beach, you can dip your toes in the sea or simply soak up the sun from a sandy spot in no time. Simple in style, this is a comfortable space for six, with the bonus of a private balcony for alfresco meals – albeit, slightly overlooked by the building opposite. For days when the beach doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can head to the old town of Pollença to climb the Calvari steps. And for those wanting more of a hiking challenge, the Tramuntana mountains are around an hour’s drive away.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*Air conditioning is available in the living room only. It could get a little hot during the summer.
*This apartment's balcony overlooks neighbouring homes, so it doesn't feel completely private.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
*Your host doesn’t accept bookings from groups of young people (under 30 years) at this home.
