Enveloped by olive trees and almond groves with stunning views over the Tramuntana mountains, this Sa Pobla villa in Mallorca blends a country escape with island living. The gorgeous pool may be the star of the villa’s expansive grounds, but the terrace and outdoor sitting areas certainly compete. Fire up the BBQ, grab a glass of wine, and settle into comfy chairs beneath the covered patio. Start a game of table tennis while the cooks prep, and when dinner is ready, dine al fresco while overlooking lush countryside.

Inside the villa, the open space is warm and inviting, with ample places to gather - from the modern kitchen to the spacious dining room, to the cosy lounge beside the fireplace. The balcony upstairs is a perfect place to stargaze and accessed by the upper bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms includes en suite baths, including an impressive master with walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub for ultimate pampering.

Turquoise waters and pristine beaches are under 18km away at Port de Pollenca. In town, Sa Pobla hosts shops, restaurants and a rich cultural heritage. The Revelta de Sant Antoni festival dates back to 1365 - a must see if visiting in January.
