Breaking Through the Clouds

Breaking Through the Clouds: Balearic Islands

In a prime position on the north of the island, this villa is a ten-minute drive from Port de Pollença and five from Pollença's old town. Exploring Mallorca is a breeze here, whether you fancy a day at the beach, a bit of shopping and sightseeing, or wining and dining in the local eateries.

Or, take it easy and spend the day chilling out in style at home. Splash about in the pool first thing each morning, then sprawl out on the lounge chairs and enjoy a siesta in the afternoon rays. When your stomach starts grumbling, get the grill going and tuck in around the alfresco dining table as the stars come out.

Head inside when the sun goes down and get cosy in the living area. Sink into the plump sofas with a good book and a glass of wine or, if you prefer to flex your culinary muscles indoors, the quaint kitchen has everything you need to whip up family feasts. When it's time to hit the hay, comfy bedrooms await you at night for a great night's sleep.
