On Eagle's Wings

On Eagle's Wings: Balearic Islands

There's something both at once futuristic and timeless about this villa in the Llucmajor region of Mallorca. The boxy shape, emphasis on clean lines and long shape of the home itself feel strikingly modern, but the white walls, swimming pool and verandah are staples in Mediterranean architecture — and all the more welcome for it in our opinion.

Even if you don't give two figs about design trends, you'll love this home for the sheer amount there is to do here on a hot summer's afternoon. Those partial to a game of golf will appreciate the crazy-style course in the garden, while those who prefer to spend their time doing absolutely nothing will welcome the number of loungers, balconies and alfresco tables. There's even a traditional stone barbecue for whipping up feasts come evening time.

If the small-scale putting gives you a taste for the real thing, Maioris Golf Course is only a three-minute drive away. For those that prefer the beach, Playa S'Arenal takes eleven minutes in the car.

Home truths:
*There's a parking space for one car
*Although the home is split over three levels, there are bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground level
*Golf clubs and balls for the course in the garden are provided
*A cot and high chair can be provided upon request
