In a secluded location with spectacular views on the Spanish island of Mallorca, this holiday house adopts a layered interior that marries traditional design with a glam, contemporary spirit.
It’s very easy to fall in love with Mallorca – but these days it’s not nearly as effort-free to find just the right holiday property on this beautiful Balearic island. The London-based international couple that own this house spent several months diligently searching for just the right place for them until they eventually chanced upon this one. Perched on a hillside with 180-degree views of the Mediterranean Sea, the house is situated on the western side of Mallorca, between the lively villages of Valldemossa and Deià.
Protected on the southern side by the enfolding Tramuntana mountain range and set within groves of olive trees, the property feels utterly private and tucked away. But the villages are close by (Valldemossa is a five-minute drive from the house) as are some of the island’s prettiest calas (coves) – and the owners’ favourite beach is Port des Canonge, with its charm and seclusion well worth the 30 minutes it takes to reach by road.
