Lombok Lounge

Lombok Lounge: Catalonia

Taking inspiration from the beaches of Indonesia, this boho-chic apartment is perfectly positioned for those after a relaxing stay in the heart of the city. Located in Barcelona's lively Eixample neighbourhood, you'll find a plethora of shops, restaurants and bars right on your doorstep, while Gaudís famous Casa Milà and La Sagrada Familia are under fifteen minutes' walk away. After a busy day exploring, return to a calming open-plan living space that benefits from a soft neutral colour palette, hemp furnishings and plenty of natural light. If business calls, there's even a dedicated office space to help you get to work.

Although, we'd suggest less work and a lot more play at this well-designed pad. With three balconies – one of which offers a plump lounge chair – there's plenty of space to sprawl out and unwind with a glass of Spanish wine as the sun sets in the evening.

Home truths:
*The private office space is off the second bedroom, rather than a communal area
*Two of the balconies are Juliet-style standing balconies
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*Remember to pack your shampoo, as toiletries are not provided
*Aeroport de Barcelona-El Prat is a twenty-one-minute drive away from the home
*As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
