No Mountain High Enough

Bursting with Mediterranean charm and offering spectacular mountain views, as well as a large private pool and a whole host of inviting outdoor seating areas (where we are already imagining ourselves positioned with a glass of wine), this home is ideal for a relaxing retreat as well as a fun-filled escape to the beautiful Balearics. With a tranquil countryside location that's still only a 5-minute drive to Old Town Pollença and the crystalline beaches of bustling Puerto Pollença, this place offers you the best of both worlds for your holiday.

Enjoy lazing around the stunning swimming pool, catching some of the almost guaranteed Spanish sunshine before cooling off with a dip in those irresistible waters. Then of course there are always those cosy alfresco dining areas, perfect for coming together with the rest of your party to enjoy a leisurely meal made up of local specialties, or those funky tiki bar tables that simply call out to you to come and enjoy your favourite cocktail as the sun slips below the surrounding mountains.

Or why not head into Pollença's magical old town, reachable in just a few minutes by car, where you can sit and watch the world go by from one of the authentic eateries, pick up something special in the artisanal shops, or simply lose yourself for a while as you wander through the beguiling streets. Oh, and if you're here on a Sunday, definitely take the time to peruse the weekly farmer's market, where you'll find a whole host of wonderfully fresh regional produce that you can always take back to the home and grill up in the well-equipped outdoor kitchen.

The bay of Puerto Pollença offers you the chance to take part in a range of watersports (if you're up for it), including windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, and jet skiing. While in Cala Sant Vicenç (or just Cala as it is known to locals), there is a mini market, several small restaurants offering a variety of great dining options as well as a handful of lively bars – not to mention the otherworldly crystalline waters and hidden coves with beautiful verdant backdrops for which it's famous.
