The Palms of the Sun

The Palms of the Sun: Balearic Islands

Sit back, relax and soak up the sunshine at this stylish villa on the outskirts of Santa Margalida. Inside, the design merges traditional Mallorcan character with all the contemporary comforts you'll want on holiday – including a soaker bath in the main en-suite and a movie-night projector. The saltwater swimming pool is the main attraction, but the covered lounge area promises long, lazy afternoons in the dappled rays. Upstairs, the balcony shows off the views of the mountains and coast – perfect for watching the sunset. Better still is the location – Can Picafort's long, sandy beach and seafront restaurants are just 10 kilometres away.
