Sundance Solace

Sundance Solace: Balearic Islands

If it’s total relaxation you seek, this peaceful Mallorcan villa could be just the ticket. Nestled between the sloping mountains and trees promising privacy, the natural setting is enough to melt any thoughts of the daily grind away. Here, you can find the peace you’ve been craving, on a quiet, cypress tree-lined avenue. Being in the foothills of the mountain, you might not think you’re so close to Pollenca, but this traditional villa is just out on the outskirts of the bustling resort town.

Blissful hours pass by easily here. Lounging by the curved pool, occasionally taking a dip, taking solace from the mid-day sun on the shaded terrace, and simply soaking in the beautiful surroundings. You might find yourself losing track of time captivated by the sunlight flickering between the leafy trees, distracting you from your current read.

The traditional exterior of whitewashed walls and a sloping tiled roof is a beautiful contrast to the sleek, minimalist interior. The contemporary space lets the natural surroundings do the talking, which peeks through windows and doors at every opportunity.

When you’re not grilling up local produce on the barbecue, you’ll love preparing food in the high-spec kitchen. Gather around the kitchen island, chopping and mixing together as a group. Or, for a treat, let your host arrange for a private chef to wow you with local dishes. If you fancy a change of scenery for dinner, Pollenca town is a mere ten-minute walk away, where you’ll delight in tucking into tapas accompanied by plenty of sangria.
