The coastline of Son Serra is only 200 metres from this home, but don't be surprised if the villa's outdoor space keeps you away from the beach – for a while at least. The swimming pool is sure to see plenty of use during Mallorca's warmer months, while it's just as easy to relax on the surrounding loungers or on the shady verandah complete with an outdoor kitchen. We're also fond of the home itself, which has the feel of a miniature palace thanks to the array of traditional design touches.
