Lofty Palm

Lofty Palm: Balearic Islands

Bordering the UNESCO mountain range of Serra de Tramuntana, this villa promises a trip of unforgettable exclusivity. Just ten minutes from Palma's centre, it offers a perfect balance between the quiet of a rural location, and all the buzz and convenience of city centre sights, restaurants and shops a short hop away.

There’s an outdoor and indoor bar – hello welcome drinks – private gym and even a massage room, not to mention mountain views and indoor bike storage. And the comfort carries right through to the outdoor pool area, where the chance to relax is everywhere. A full outdoor lounge spans the length of the terrace, shaded by a wooden pergola, and we love the propellor coffee tables that add a quirky touch. A summer kitchen can provide the alfresco feasts every evening, if you’re not heading into Palma.

The interior is an entertainer’s paradise with that glass-cubed bar in the living room and huge open spaces designed for socialising. There’s a touch of Japanese-zen to the dining area where an ink-black dining set sits against a cherry blossom mural, and the lounge feels like a Balinese chill-out space with tufted leather sofas and pot plants. Bedrooms are soothingly neutral in tone, and the master comes with a free-standing slipper tub for an evening soak.
