Our travel experts at Plum Guide have selected the finest luxury villas in Majorca for your special trip, and to say these homes are a step up from your regular holiday rentals is an understatement. Keep reading to find your dream villa.
A Sunset State of Mind
Nestled into the hillside above Cala Llamp, this white-washed villa was designed to make the most of the views. The sea is visible from almost every room, whether that's the six bedrooms, the open-plan kitchen or the two living rooms. Each morning, you can roll out of bed and step onto the balcony for a moment of reflection or a yoga spot. Indulge in a soothing soak in the sea-facing bathtub before tucking into breakfast on the terrace. The deep blue Mediterranean will entice you in, and luckily, it's just a four-minute drive away – and even better, you'll have an inviting infinity pool to look forward to when you return. When late afternoon comes around, grab a bottle from your wine cellar and sip on some local red while you watch the sun dip below the horizon. You won't have to worry about cooking dinner either, as the home comes with a private chef – how's that for a luxurious stay?
Sunshine on the Step
If you like homes with a bit of history, this 17th-century estate in Llucmajor will do nicely. As well as the traditional beamed ceilings and stone walls, you’ll find 21st-century comforts like a saltwater pool with a Jacuzzi and a pool table. It’s a fantastic choice for large groups, with room for up to twenty people. You’ll want to spend most of your time in the sprawling garden, sunbathing by the pool, reading in the hammocks or snacking on tapas at the alfresco dining area. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, you’ll have full privacy here. There’s a covered terrace upstairs for sundowners, while evenings are best spent gathered in the barn-like living room – whether you’re whipping up delicious meals, playing pool or chatting away on the sofas, there’s enough room for everyone here. To add to the luxury feel, you’ll have a 24/7 concierge on hand, and your host can help you with excursions, watersports and boat trips.
In Waters of Transcendence
This stunning four-bedroom country home is one of the best luxury villas in Majorca for families. Located between Pollença and the coast, you’ll have easy access to beach days and everything the historic town offers. It can be tricky to strike a balance between being lavish and being welcoming for children, but this home does it so well with the addition of a fence around the heated pool and a playroom – there are enough toys to keep them entertained for the whole trip. Meanwhile, adults will want to spend the day socialising in the shade of the terrace and taking dips in the pool when it gets too warm. There are also many spots to escape to when you need a quiet moment away from the group. Fill the hydrotherapy tub with bubbles and sneak in an hour of reading, or put on your favourite podcast and catch up on a workout in the home gym. If you really feel like treating yourself, ask your host for some VIP services like in-house massages and a private chef to make your stay extra memorable.
Mallorcan Magic
This contemporary five-bedroom home is just the place to explore the charming village of Cas Catalá. It’s just a six-minute drive to the crystal-clear waters of Playa de Illetes, while the prestigious Bendinat Golf Course is a ten-minute walk. Amongst all your excursions, take some time to relax in the private swimming pool. There are sun loungers for tanning and shaded spots for when you want to get out of the sun. The first-floor terrace is great for siestas, and sliding doors mean you can let the sea breeze in while you’re catching up on your favourite series in the lounge. Meanwhile, the terrace on the second floor is best for drinks at sunset, and while there are comfy sofas, you may have to fight over who gets to go in the hot tub. Didn’t get a chance to hop in? Don’t worry – there are freestanding baths in several of the bathrooms and bedrooms for a bubble bath before slipping into the sumptuous beds.
Harbour Heights
Perched up in the hills above Port d'Andratx, this six-bedroom villa is all about the spectacular views. You can gaze at the sea from pretty much anywhere in the home, but our favourite viewpoint is the main bedroom's balcony. Start your morning with a workout in the gym before a dip in the pool and breakfast in the sun while you go over your plans for the day. You'll have a 24/7 concierge, so be sure to inquire about renting a car to drive up into the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains. If you don't feel like going out at all, there's plenty to keep you entertained at home. Challenge your guests to a petanque tournament on the court, or get competitive at ping-pong. When you've worked up an appetite, fire up the barbecue for lunch on the terrace before moving inside to the air-conditioned living room for a siesta. Wake up just in time for sunset, best enjoyed with a glass of champagne in the Jacuzzi.
In the Lavish Gardens
If countryside chic is what you’re after, then this is one of the best luxury villas in Majorca for you. With space for twelve guests, the rooms are bright and airy, with exposed beams and wooden floors creating a cosy, cottage-like feel. In the living room, comfy sofas are the ideal spot for catching up over a glass of wine, while floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. The huge swimming pool is the highlight of the home, with peaceful views of the green fields surrounding the villa. Spend all day out here, moving under the terrace when you need shade. There’s even a kitchen out here, so you don’t have to stray too far from your lounger for snacks and drinks. There’s a well-equipped home gym, but we think you may prefer the scenic walks in Reserva Natural de s’Albufereta, just an eight-minute drive away. After a day out in nature, tuck into a traditional Mallorcan meal cooked by your private chef before gathering everyone in the impressive home cinema before bed.
Dreaming by the Sea
Overlooking Port de Pollença, it’s difficult not to be enchanted by this home (and we’re not just talking about the views). It ticks all the boxes, from a private chef five days a week to a supply of local wines to make your stay extra special. Your host can also arrange boat trips, personal trainers and vineyard tours if a particular bottle catches your attention. Spread across three floors with lift access, there’s ample space for fifteen people to hang out. It’ll be difficult to decide where to set up for the day – will it be the breezy seating on the ground floor terrace or the sunbeds by the pool? Or perhaps you’d like to pour yourself a tall glass of bubbly and have a soak in the hot tub? Whatever it is, you’re sure to find a favourite corner boasting fantastic panoramas. We love dinners under the poolside pergola, but the large dining table inside also works a treat. After a meal of freshly grilled seafood, make some popcorn and head to the theatre room for a film.
Slow Sunrise
Luxury meets country living at this extraordinary home in the heart of the island. Despite its central location, you’re just a thirty-three-minute drive from Es Trenc, the nearest beach. As soon as you’re heading up the long driveway, you’ll understand why it’s one of our favourite luxury villas in Majorca. The traditional architecture, antique furniture and ornate touches all come together to create a luxurious yet homely space. Those who like to cook will want to gather in the country-style kitchen with its original fireplace, while meals are best served outside on the terrace. Work your way through mouth-watering dishes and bottles of local wine, letting the afternoon slip away. When you need a siesta, choose from the nine comfortable bedrooms or let the breeze send you to sleep on the outdoor sofas. Upon waking up, cool down in the pool before heading upstairs to the terrace for sunset.
