Bougainvillea & Brick

Bougainvillea & Brick: Balearic Islands

Taking a minimal and natural approach, this home in the north of Mallorca oozes charm and tranquillity in equal measure. Admire the stone-cladded walls, concrete columns, and exposed beams in the light as it streams in through gaping doors and windows. You can, coincidentally, read in that very same light by making yourself comfortable in the living space. Grab a book, brew a Dolce Gusto coffee, and put your feet up.

With Playa de Muro only minutes away, you can of course also take your reading to the beach and spend the day laughing in the sun, baking in the sand, splashing in the surf, and taking holiday photos as ice creams melts down your hand, but leaving this home might be easier said than done.

The outdoor space is especially alluring, because from it, you’re able to gaze out over the rolling hills and plenty of green. Spy it from the terrace, or go up to the balcony to really get a panoramic view. Lounge poolside, slipping into the cool waters for a casual paddle every now and again. Dine alfresco, enjoy an impromptu picnic on the lawn, and mix up cocktails to drink poolside, feet dangling into the pool. Watch the sunset from the balcony and stay out long enough to see the shimmering night sky come to life above.
