Situated a couple of kilometres from the charming village of Santa María del Camí, this traditional villa is perfectly set up for extended families or large friendly get-togethers in the scenic serenity of the Mallorcan inlands. With ample alfresco living and dining areas – including several day beds, poolside sun loungers, a covered dining table that comfortably seats the entire group and a built-in barbecue, you're well catered for when it comes to outdoor living.

Inside, you'll immediately notice the wood-beamed ceilings, tiled flooring and all-white stone walls that shape the space as a whole, while the homespun furnishings create typical, minimalist interiors. But summer in the Balearics is best lived outside and days begin with a light breakfast under the pergola, before swimming a few leisurely laps of the crystal-clear pool. Pick out a lounger to while away the hours, and when lunchtime beckons, grill fresh produce on the barbecue and break open a bottle of local wine.

While you could easily spend your entire time basking in the Mediterranean sun at home, we recommend you go out and explore the nearby village, just a half-hour walk or a fifteen-minute cycle from the finca. Secluded yet conveniently located, Alcúdia Beach is also just thirty minutes by car, so you can enjoy relaxing days along the coast – if you can ever peel yourself away from this heavenly oasis, that is.
