Life's Rich Pageant Las Palmeras, Balearic Islands

Holiday Rental Description

Hidden away amid Mallorcan mountains and Mediterranean vegetation, this villa benefits from a perfectly peaceful spot close to the northernmost point of the island and offers plenty of ways to bask in this tranquillity.

On summer afternoons, the swimming pool in the middle of the garden is sure to see plenty of visits, but there's also a ping-pong table and lots of loungers if you want to stay on dry land. When evening time rolls around, what better way to toast a productive day than lighting up the barbecue and feasting on the fruits of your labour on the plant-lined verandah?

Inside, the living quarters feel bright and airy, thanks to the large glass doors letting in ample amounts of natural light and an open layout that lets this asset flow about unimpeded. The furnishings and finishes are simple in style, with only the patches of exposed stonework and terracotta tiles in keeping with traditional Baleric design – the wood-burning stove in the living room is rather rustic, too.

When you're in the mood to see a little more of Mallorca, the beach town of Puerto Pollensa is 1km away, with lots of bars and restaurants to tide you over after a day on the seaside. Further inland, you'll find a wide selection of hilly hiking routes and golf courses, as well.
