Modern Meets Mountains: Balearic Islands

We think this lovely holiday home serves as the ideal base for an unforgettable family holiday, a romantic escape with a couple of couples, or a break away from it all with your nearest and dearest friends. With a warm and welcoming interior that's brought to life with a thoughtful selection of traditional accents as well as a host of modern amenities that ensure you'll be comfortable and well looked after during your stay, it offers you everything you could need for a relaxing retreat into nature that is still close enough to the many attractions and highlights of this beautiful Balearic Island.

Start your day with a dip in that stunning elevated swimming pool, refreshing yourself for the day ahead (and working off any holiday excesses) while soaking in the view. Stay above ground level to enjoy breakfast accompanied by the panoramic vista, or head down to the terrace to join the rest of your party. Then the day stretches before you. Will it be a spot of reading and sunbathing, or perhaps a game or two of table tennis to work up an appetite before lunch?

Or why not head into Pollença's magical old town, reachable in just a few minutes by car, where you can sit and watch the world go by from one of the authentic eateries, pick up something special in the artisanal shops, or simply lose yourself for a while as you wander through the beguiling streets. If you're here on a Sunday, don't miss out on the chance to peruse the weekly farmer's market, where you'll find wonderfully fresh regional produce to take back to the home and grill up on the traditional barbecue.

The bay of Puerto Pollença offers you the chance to take part in a range of watersports (if you're up for it), including windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, and jet skiing. While in Cala Sant Vicenç (or just Cala as it is known to locals), there is a mini market, several small restaurants offering a variety of great dining options as well as a handful of lively bars – not to mention the otherworldly crystalline waters and hidden coves with beautiful verdant backdrops for which it's famous.

Home truths:
*The wi-fi here can be slow at times.
