Thalassophile's Sanctum

Thalassophile's Sanctum: Balearic Islands

On the beautiful northern coast of Majorca, surrounded by sparkling blue ocean, this stylish villa is the ideal place from which to immerse yourself in the gorgeous scenery of Alcudia. Offering a beautiful terrace with plenty of comfy seating, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding where to enjoy your breakfast each morning. Wherever you choose, you'll always be guaranteed a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea.

Indoors, you have everything you need to feel right at home, with sumptuous sofas and a contemporary kitchen and dining room that's perfect for entertaining. Sliding glass doors give way to an infinity pool – start the day with an invigorating swim, or if you'd prefer the sea, it's quite literally outside your front door, just over the rocky shoreline. Wander a little further and you'll encounter pristine sandy beaches and the picturesque Bonaire Marin. Pack a picnic to eat on the sand or head to one of the nearby restaurants for a tasty lunch.

Speaking of food, you'll have your own barbecue here, complete with an outdoor dining set accessible from the kitchen. We highly recommend a night in, cooking fresh seafood on the barbecue and eating alfresco in the cool summer breeze. Post-dinner, have some fun with the kids in the lower-ground garden or head up to the balcony to watch the sky change colour from a comfy sun lounger.

The perfect way to end a perfect evening? A long soak in the bathtub, looking out over the water, with a glass of wine in hand.
