With space for 84 to sleep, this is a finca for hosting all your friends

As the largest and one of the most popular of the Spanish Balearic islands, Mallorca is packed with spectacular resorts and modern villas, but the truly impressive properties are harder to find. If you’re searching currently, you’re in luck: an incredible 17th-century finca on 300 hectares near Valldemossa, in the heart of the UNESCO world heritage Serra de Tramuntana, is now on sale.

The estate is vast, with multiple buildings surrounded by terraces

The estate holds a large main villa and various buildings, totalling 4,300 m. sq. of internal space, while 400 m. sq. of open terraces as well as a charming Mallorcan courtyard provide external living space. For those looking to combine history with modern luxury living, this finca is impressive and charming – a viewing is sure to melt the heart.

You can hear the horses hooves of history clattering in the internal courtyard

Some authentic features of the buildings have been cherished and dot the superb and vast living space, which includes formal dining and living rooms, a professional kitchen and multiple reception rooms for hosting events, parties or family gatherings.

Multiple reception rooms provide ample space for large gatherings

There will no shortage of space for visitors, with 84 bedrooms spread across the property. These are served by 70 en-suite bathrooms and a further 10 en-suite showers and Jacuzzis, leaving just four people to share a grand bathroom (what hardship!).

Bedrooms are large and impressive, many with balconies and most en-suite

The bedrooms are large and impeccably designed to create suites, with the most impressive containing dressing areas in addition to their en-suite bathrooms. All rooms, reception and bedrooms, bathe in the beautiful Spanish sunshine courtesy of multiple, well-placed windows. Light stone and tiled floors help to ensure the historic stone building never feels dark, welcoming all to enjoy its majestic space.

The house feels historic but is beautifully restored and equipped

The grounds of the estate contain a well-sized swimming pool and a football field, as well as a tennis court (with floodlights for playing after dark). The land (a 36,000 m. sq park) has permissions for hunting, and there is a golf course just a few minutes away for yet another activity option.

The tennis court is one of the many venues for outdoor activities

With parking for 20 cars, there are no reasons why your visitors won’t be flocking to share this incredible finca whenever you open the doors to them. Travel is easy too, with the airport just 15 minutes drive from the finca itself. The main island town of Palma is 10 minutes away, where many amenities and superb restaurants and bars are available for when you seek to escape the grounds of your 17-century country estate….occasionally…

Sumptuous Mallorcan cortijo (Spain), €24,950,000

On 9 October 2023

In Contemporary, Europe, island, Large grounds, luxury, Nature, seaview, Spain

Just five minutes outside the Mallorcan town of Andratx is the stunning port of the same name, reputed as one of the loveliest harbours in the Mediterranen. Sitting pretty on the hill above the harbour – boasting the twin wins of sea and mountain panoramas – is a stunning and exquisitely designed villa on a plot of 100,000 sq m.

A cortijo is a traditional rural dwelling, like a farmhouse – but don’t expect rustic rough-n-ready at this one

The view may be jaw-dropping, but the villa will draw the eye away from the moment you start up the paved private driveway towards the buildings that make up the property: 1,350 sq m including the main residence, two additional buildings, and a barbecue and pool bar area.

The house has been beautifully designed and built to complement the natural area

The main building is designed to optimise the spectacular views, with the ground floor surging into a large open kitchen and dining area where the household and all guests have plenty of space to socialise.

Sleek, spacious and bright spaces are unexpected but welcome, and the kitchen is no exception

There is also a formal dining area, an expansive lounge and a cosy living room complete with a fire for the cooler months. All reception rooms gain from the well-placed windows, allowing the landscape and the sea view to flood into the property.

Formal dining spaces are available alongside the casual areas around the kitchen

Having so many seating areas and reception rooms is ideal for a busy household, enabling space for different groups and for those seeking some solitude.

The chic elegance of the interiors allows the rooms to feel calming

Climb up the gorgeous staircase to the first floor to find a grand master bedroom suite complete with a walk-in closet. It’s an impressive principle suite and will provide all the space you need for comfortable privacy in luxurious, minimalist conditions.

Bedrooms are large, employing clean lines and minimal fuss to create comfortable spaces

The bathrooms that are attached to the bedrooms (there are two on this floor) are almost as vast as the sleeping rooms themselves, finished with high-quality his-n-hers facilities to suite the various occupants and visitors.

Bathrooms are large and completely kitted out with every washing option you can think of

This floor also has a terrace for morning sights of the sea, although occupants may find themselves spending time on the main terrace on the ground floor that wraps around the villa and the pool area.

An outside kitchen, BBQ and eating area, alongside shaded terraces and seating, will make al-fresco life the norm

There are shaded lounging areas, large tables and outdoor cooking facilities that are ideally designed for entertaining and spending long afternoons and evenings outside.

If you like your laps, this pool is a perfect size and shape

The pool is spectacular and surrounded by loungers and seats, with constant sight of the incredible views across the sea to the mountains beyond. When its get a little chilly for being outside, take the stairs down the basement to discover an additional treat..

And feeling the winter chill? Fear not, the indoor pool is just as impressive

The basement is dominated by another spectacular pool. This indoor heated pool is accompanied by a dry sauna and steam room, along with a gym, for the complete home-spa experience.

The home sauna could become the place you restore in after a busy day of work

There is a bathroom down on this level for washing away the sweat as well as space to install a home cinema if the new owner wishes.

Serious outdoor cooking facilities are provided to make al-fresco meals sophisticated

The additional buildings provide yet further amenities for the owner. There is enough garage space for 20 cars (time to start a new collection?) and two additional, separate guest houses.

Separate houses with their own living and sleeping space provides options for the new owner

One of these separate houses has been renovated to contain two en-suite bedrooms and an open kitchen-dining-living space. The second house has a slightly bigger space and could accommodate a further 2-3 bedrooms if desired (it’s currently being used for storage).

No matter the room, the view is all-consuming, as it should be in this incredible location

Immediately outside of the villa it’s all about the vast pool and terrace area, but beyond the terraces are the extensive grounds that contain a small forest, landscaped gardens and a lake.

It’s worth noting that the estate has a helicopter landing license and space for a grass tennis court if the new owner is keen. In terms of amenities, the Harbour area boasts everything needed, from supermarkets and cafes, to bars and upmarket restaurants. There are also modern art galleries, with the airport just 28 mins away.

Magnificant 9-bed villa on Camp de Mer, Mallorca (Spain), €15,000,000

On 25 July 2023

In Contemporary, Europe, luxury, seaview, Spain

Two villas make up this property on the exquisite Camp de Mar coast

The stunning Camp de Mar has long attracted tourists for its glorious but quiet beaches and the exceptional views out across the ocean. And what better way to enjoy this town and it’s stunning beach (on the south-west of the island about 30 minutes from Palma) by owning not one, but two sea-view villas a few minutes’ walk from the water?

Enjoy sea views from the swimming pool and almost all spaces within the property

The larger of the two villas within this property occupies a plot of just under 2,000 sq. m and houses four bedrooms and four bathrooms alongside the reception rooms, kitchen and dining spaces one would expect. There are also multiple luscious terraces for those sunset cocktails, or sunrise coffees.

Covered terraces are ideal for enjoying the views no matter the weather

The large living area is complemented by a superbly-designed open-plan kitchen and dining area that makes cooking and entertaining within your villa a pleasure. Leave the floor-to-ceiling windows open and enjoy the sound of waves lapping as you prepare and eat…

Open-plan living and dining spaces, plus floor-to-ceiling windows, give the interiors a glorious openess and lightness

The second villa is the more contemporary structure and provides a further three bedrooms and three bathrooms alongside reception areas and modern kitchen. Having a second, smaller villa makes this property ideal for multi-generational households to have their own space or to allow guests and visitors a sense of complete privacy.

Simple, elegant bedrooms maximise the location so you can wake to the sight of the sea

All rooms in both properties are designed to maximise the location with extensive, dual-aspect windows. Those within can enjoy the extraordinary views whether reclining, bathing or lounging. As in so many modern properties, the baths occupy some of the best spots and, similar to all bathrooms, are of the highest quality.

Wash off the sand and sun without taking your eyes off the horizon

This property also has a separate staff apartment accommodating those you may need to help you manage this elegant property (there are two smaller bedrooms and a bathroom).

Lounging by the outdoor pool may be ideal in the summer, but cooler temperatures may see you elsewhere..

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to swimming, with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool with a sauna. There is also access to the sea from the swimming pool area in the main villa. Choices choices…

Phew, there’s an indoor pool too, with a sauna, for year-round swimming

In the summer months, the terraces will become the hub for mealtimes and entertaining, but when the weather turns cooler the property stays cosy thanks to central heating and fireplaces. There is even a lift to make moving around your luxurious villa all the more comfortable.

Would you ever tire of that view?

The golf course is as close as the beach, and there are many restaurants and bars within a short walk from this immaculate villa. The airport in Palma is around 40 minutes drive away and has both international and national flights, making this Spanish hideaway the ideal winter bolt-hole (and spring and summer and autumn) no matter which part of the world you call home.

15-bed luxury villa in Marbella (Spain), £47,232,900

On 30 June 2023

In Europe, Large grounds, luxury, seaview, Spain

A long driveway culminates at an ornate fountain and a sweeping entrance to the Villa

Enjoy your own personal hotel (almost) on the dreamy seafront in Marbella, just a stone’s throw from the luxurious Marbella Club Hotel. This glamourous, Costa-del-Sol resort town has a reputation for a reason: 24 beaches, a glitzy Golden Mile and the highest concentration of Rolls Royces in the world.

The beach house has its own private pool…but there is another…bigger..

This grand and awe-inspiring mansion is set within 8,000 m sq manicured grounds that hold a guest villa, a trendy beach house with a swimming pool all of its own (there is another) and a charming staff cottage that is tucked away from the main house for proximity yet privacy.

Your main house, Casa Loriana, provides around 4,000 sq m of accommodation across 10 reception rooms and 15 bedroom suites. It is, quite simply, a resort all of your own, with all the luxury and privacy you could want.

There are many spaces, inside and out, for lazing away hot afternoons

From the moment you enter through the gilded wrought iron gates, you will feel your cares ebb away. An impressive cobbled driveway encircles a fountain before you pull up at the grand front entrance to the pad.

The main entrance hall is spectacular with a triple-height ceiling, and open fireplace (it’s not always summer in Marbella!) and a sweeping staircase leading to the upper floors. There is also, as will become a theme, a glorious view of the ocean.

The grand splendor of the internal design is apt for such a dramatic coastal position

The ground floor of this immense villa provides the anticipated clutch of reception rooms, albeit exceptional ones. There is a formal drawing room, dining room and sitting room for when you have guests to impress.

Formal sitting rooms are opulent yet cosy

There are also the more relaxed areas of a morning room, games room, library, and the ever-welcoming kitchen-diner (with a pantry). These are ideal for a family chilling on holiday or for casual breakfasts after a raucous summer night.

One of the many kitchen-dining areas across the various properties on site

The ground floor also has a guest bedroom suite complete with a cloackroom, while a lift whisks you up to the first floor where three formal double bedrooms for additional guests can be found. They all, of course, have their own luxurious en-suite bathrooms.

Bedrooms come in a range of styles to allow each occupant to choose their favourite

Continue up to the second floor for an extravagant yet immensely comfortable master suite complete with private wood-panelled sitting room, two bathrooms and two large dressing rooms for the main couple of the house to have all the personal space they need.

Bathrooms are grand but deliciously well-appointed, with bathing views to die for

Interior recreation space provides everything residents, visitors and guests would expect in a plush resort. There is a music salon, a cosy home cinema, a spa and a spacious home-gym for keeping fit, active, pampered and happy without leaving your estate.

The music room makes for a wonderful location to host a salon on cooler evenings

Guests will surely fight over getting access to the colonial-style beach house, where there are two double bedroom suites, a kitchen and a bright salon for resting away the hot summer afternoons.

Spacious bedrooms all come with en-suite bathrooms

In addition, the grounds contain a guest villa where there are a further three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. This additional villa also has a drawing room with dining area, a kitchen and a large games room.

Modern design and style sits happily alongside the classic, opulence of other rooms

Alongside the staff villa and a garage big enough for ten cars, the vast grounds provide an enormous resort-style swimming pool and a choice of sun terraces and al-fresco dining options for sun-seekers and shade lovers alike, all times of the day.

Now this is a real swimming pool! Large enough for you?

The whole property is as lavish as you’d expect in this chic and hugely popular Spanish coast and owners will have no regrets over their purchase after a single night, as they watch the sun slink over the sea from their very own ‘hotel’ (almost!).
