Mediterranean Mornings

Mediterranean Mornings: Balearic Islands

In the charming Mallorcan countryside, spend Mediterranean mornings with a cup of coffee in hand and this home's haven of greenery as your scenic backdrop. Boasting mountain views, isolated corners of peace and fragrant aromatics of the vineyards, fruit trees, and garden herbs, the outdoor setting here is utterly magical. In fact, the host encourages you to pick fresh tomatoes straight from the fruit trees to enjoy at breakfast each morning.

Whether you're perched around the secluded swimming pool, reading a book on the vast terrace or tucking into some local culinary delights at the alfresco dining area – relaxing, unplugging and re-connecting with nature comes easy here. Inside, our favourite spot is the fireplace alcove – it offers a dreamy ambience and a cosy corner to snuggle up after days soaking up the outdoors, either in the mountains or on the beach.

Nestled in the perfect spot for hiking, cycling and beach holidays, you'll find this home in S’Arraco (right between Andratx and San Telmo) and overlooking the S'Arraco Tramuntana Mountains. Less than a five-minute drive away, the local village centre offers shops and restaurants to explore. Meanwhile, San Telmo and Port d’Andratx are the nearest hotspots if you're looking to hit the beach. There are also regular ferry trips to the protected natural park of Dragonera, where you can arrange to go diving or hiking on the breathtaking Dragonera Island.
