I Spy the Sunshine

Holiday Rental Description

With a truly charming and authentically Mallorcan style featuring typical wooden beamed ceilings, cosy interior living and dining spaces filled with Mediterranean character, and a delightful garden that houses not only a private swimming pool but also an alfresco seating area, ping pong table, and barbecue, we think this villa encompasses many of the best things about a Balearic Island getaway.

Awake relaxed and refreshed in one of the traditionally decorated bedrooms, before making your way out for a sip and a dip (a sip of coffee and a dip in the pool, that is) – taking in the majestic view of the mountains of the stunning Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains, a world heritage site since 2011. As for the rest of the day? Well, you can always stay lounging by the pool, hopping in whenever the Spanish sun gets a little much. Or, why not make the most of the villa's convenient location, heading into town or toward the coast?

The bay of Puerto Pollença offers you the chance to take part in a range of water sports should you wish to, including windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, water-skiing, and jet skiing. While in Pollença's magical old town you will find loads of authentic eateries from where you can sit and watch the world go by, artisanal shops perfect for picking up a memento of your stay, and beguiling backstreets where you can lose yourself (in the best way possible) for an hour or two. Oh, and if you're here on a Sunday, definitely take the time to peruse the weekly farmer's market, where you'll find a whole host of wonderfully fresh regional produce that you can always take back to the home and grill up in the well-equipped outdoor kitchen.
