Palma Violet

Palma Violet: Balearic Islands

With a feeling of being an island on its own, this home, surrounded by palms, is the perfect place to put your feet up and unwind. One of the sunloungers, on the outer ring of the crystalline pool, is one place to start your pursuit of relaxation – grab a drink, hit play on an audiobook and bask in the sunshine and fresh air. Whenever the Mediterranean sun’s gaze gets a little too hot, just shimmy into the cool waters to refresh before going back to doing as little as possible.

Have lunch on the shaded terrace before taking a stroll into the heart of Inca. Stock up on supplies, take holiday photos in front of the beautiful Santa Maria d'Inca, and stop off at a cafe for drinks before returning home with a bag filled with pastries.

When no one’s looking, slip away to the little bistro table on the balcony and enjoy one of the baked goods with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee. Continue the time-out by reading in the shade, walking the grounds and going for a sunset dip in the pool.

Gather in the ultra-modern living space every evening to light the fireplace and enjoy a family game or movie night together.
