Surrounded by the Sierra de Tramuntana, you won't find a more scenic spot to call home. Inside and out, every inch of this villa makes the most of the mountain views, so sit back with a glass of sangria and take it all in. Splash about in the private pool on lazy afternoons, then stretch out under the parasols and dry off with a good book and a refreshing drink. When the sun goes down and the stars come out, fire up the grill and dine alfresco on fresh-caught seafood picked up at Inca's weekly market. Sounds dreamy, doesn't it? When you're not basking in the blue skies and fresh air at home, you'll be well-placed to explore the island. Head 3km to the nearby town of Inca for charming eateries, boutiques selling locally-made leather goods and cosy cafes. Need a bit more buzz? Palma isn't fa – about a half-hour drive – and promises plenty of chic restaurants and lively nightlife. And, of course, you can't visit Mallorca without spending a day or two a the beach – our favourites are Port d'Alcúdia and Playa del Muro, both easily reached by car.
