If beachfront is what you're after, this Cala Ratjada villa certainly delivers. Offering direct access to the promenade from the garden, you'll be able to roll out of bed and stroll straight down to the sea – sounds dreamy, doesn't it? And don't get us started on the spectacular views. Whether you're barbecuing on the patio, swinging in the hammock, or lounging on the roof terrace, you'll have a front-row seat to watch the tide roll in. Rustic charm abounds in the living room, though some other spaces (especially the bathrooms) are a bit dated. That said, with easy access to Cala Ratjada's beach and restaurants, we don't think you'll mind.
