Casa Dolphina, Deià
In the picturesque village of Deià, opt for Casa Dolphina for a serene retreat with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Tramuntana mountains. The villa seamlessly blends traditional Mallorcan architectural features such as terracotta flooring, stone walls, marble surfaces, rugged rock sinks, and wooden furniture, with modern comforts.

Your soirées can spill out into the outdoors too—sat at the big wooden garden table, you’ll be surrounded by the bounty of thick greenery that fences the sprawling house.

The four spacious bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom will easily accommodate a larger group, so this is one to enjoy with friends or extended family.

Pieces of Blue
Once a humble shepherd’s home, this finca now stands proudly as a fantastic example of how stylish eco-homes can be, made all the more lovely with its backdrop of Spain’s rolling Tramuntana mountains. Lazy green, brown, and cream tones create a relaxed vibe, and the outdoor pool is heated (not always the case), so you can jump in at any time of year. There’s a barbecue on the terrace and if you don’t feel like cooking, just ask for the private chef to come and do it for you. Airport pick-up is available and it’s good news for pet owners—this villa is dog-friendly.

Villa Sa Torre
To call this wonderful home a villa is a remarkable understatement. As the manor comes into view at the top of the winding driveway, you’ll find a whole 17th-century castle waiting, lovingly refurbished into an appropriately palatial abode in creamy hues with classical furniture, and walls elaborately decorated with pretty china plates. With an onsite chapel, formal dining room for 18, and thoroughly elegant interiors, it would be a picture-perfect spot for an intimate destination wedding. And the charms don’t stop inside. Step through the door and you’ll find 150 hectares to roam; a mix of well-tended gardens studded with palm and olive trees, and an abundance of pretty Mediterranean flowers. And that's without mentioning the jewel in this property's crown: a 50-foot pool complete with a pool house and shower, so you can avoid making a soggy trip back inside to change.

Villa Santanyi, Portopetro
Villa Santanyi, named after the fishing village in which it was built, reminds me of Yves Saint Laurent’s museum in Marrakech—from the hushed tones of reverence, it inspires to its exterior’s soft shades of pink that, depending on the sun’s position in the sky, turn terracotta, peach, ochre, and orange in turn. Designed by Claudio Silvestrin and John Pawson, who put modern minimalism into the contemporary architectural lexicon, the villa is all bone-white walls and angular design, light and shadows, tall ceilings, and low furniture. The sunken tennis court, miniature playhouse, and 130-foot-long saltwater infinity pool are set among a grove of olive and almond trees, and in high summer, it’s warm enough to sleep on the roof under the stars. It’s a truly special place to stop and be still: better yet, a house manager takes care of all the things you’d rather not do on holiday, including preparing breakfasts of fresh bread, granola, tortilla, and fruit. —Anna Prendergast, contributor

Villa Es Molinet, Campanet
No neighbors, no noise, and no worries. In the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which you can see from the garden, this family-friendly villa is just a 15-minute walk, or a six-mile cycle, from the village of Campanet. It’s cool and comfortable in the summer months, with its shaded dining space and big French doors, and there’s no need to mark your territory with a towel at the pool: there are enough sun loungers for every guest. Just 20 minutes by car from the beach, Villa Es Molinet provides perfect access to Port de Pollença’s scenic sandy beach—we recommend a wander around the Wednesday morning market followed by a swim. Hang back in the hammock, loll by the saltwater pool, and revel in the rural quiet. —A.P.

Golden Shimmer, Búger
Time slows down at this 17th-century Gothic-Catalan finca in Búger, with exposed stone walls that echo those in the village and timber beams that nod to the area’s traditional architecture. The spacious design and sprawling garden are worlds apart from the stacks of rooms and rentals right on the coast, and a serotonin-inducing collection of Vietnamese lanterns, antique furniture, and magenta shelving gives the Finca color and character. The swimming pool seemingly carved out of a hunk of rock, is a sensational design feature, and an even better place to sip cocktails. Nearby, the shallows of the gently shelved Muro Beach are lovely for little ones, whilst the grown-ups will fall for the charms of the medieval town, Alcúdia, with plenty of places to eat alfresco and pretty narrow lanes to explore. —A.P.

La Residencia —The Villa
Drawn to the tranquillity of Deià, the poet Robert Graves said he found everything he wanted as a writer: “sun, sea, mountains, spring water, shady trees.” This dreamy hill town, where Graves lived from 1929, is also home to the adored hotel La Residencia, which also offers a spoiling but homely three-story private villa. Although it’s set off-site, guests housed in the villa still have access to all of La Residencia’s facilities and can wander across easily to browse the art gallery, pet the donkeys, and indulge in a meal at El Olivo restaurant. The cliffs in this part of the island drop dramatically down to the coast, where you find secluded, rocky coves and crystal clear waters that shine a brilliant indigo blue.

- Ana Lui
Casa Mana
Cameras at the ready: This property, owned by photographers Ana Lui and Matias Alexandro, is an artful jumble of beautiful angles and slick interiors. Sitting in the Binissalem Wineland, the apricot-hued home is strikingly modern but still natural and earthy. With the help of some great interior designers, the couple restored the original stonework, beams, cobbles, and floors at the century-old farmhouse, adding fresh life with artworks by contemporary Balearic artists. You’ll notice thoughtful, homely touches in the crockery, textiles, and decoration thanks to the owners’ keen eye for design. The hemp umbrellas providing shade by the pool add a rustic touch, while the solar power, natural insulation, and rainwater irrigation system reflect an innovative approach to sustainability.

Price: From around $5,455 per week - Casa Vista Roqueta
Can Vista Roqueta
Mallorca is famed for its rural fincas (ranches), many of which have been converted into hotels and homestays—like this sprawling, hilltop property, where charming stonework and wooden beams complete the countryside vibe. The convivial owner, Joan, will tell you about the several generations of his family that have run this pastoral paradise, where livestock was once farmed on the surrounding 74 acres of rolling green fields. In what was once the main farmhouse, former stables, grain stores, and workers’ quarters are now cozy bedrooms and elegant lounge areas. Tennis enthusiasts may want to head to the Rafael Nadal Academy in nearby Manacor, either to enroll in courses or just enjoy its spa and fitness center.

Pollença Town House
Ulrike and her husband—both architects—bought and re-built this home in northern Mallorca in 2014, drawn to the authentic, down-to-earth character of this tip of the island. Now a stylishly designed modern townhouse, the property is an ideal stop to explore Pollença’s historic center, from the Santo Domingo convent to the Calvari Steps (there are 365 of them) that lead up to a tiny 18th-century chapel. The home’s next-door neighbor owns the nearby textiles workshop Teixits Vicens, where visitors can explore various traditional handicrafts, like the island’s strikingly recognizable roba de llengües fabrics. On the Plaza Mayor, mallorquí families and friends gather alfresco, giving a flavor of local life.

Palma Bellavista
Once a stately manor from the 1920s, built in a Cuban Art Deco style, the couple that now owns this property—a Dutch interior designer and a German architect—gave it a loving refurbishment in 2017. They preserved the old-world feel of the original home, with features such as its colonial-style balconies; majestic marble staircase; and colorful, mosaic tiles in the flooring. The island’s capital, Palma, is just a 10-minute drive away—you could even do it at a jog, to wake up after a night of feasting on paella cooked up on-site by a private chef that The Luxury Travel Book will gladly arrange.
Sleeps: 16
Price: From around $1,742 per night - Sa Terra Rotja
Sa Terra Rotja
Spa therapies don’t get as relaxing as those enjoyed on the outdoor terrace of this secluded property at the foot of the Serra Tramuntana mountain range. It’s one of three villas located within the 680-acre Son Bunyola estate. Bring your walking boots—the rugged grounds here make for ample hiking terrain, with trails around the estate itself and joining public routes into the surrounding hills. If you’ve had your fill of dips down at Son Bunyola’s pebble beach, hop on a private boat to Sa Foradada, a rocky spit jutting out of the island, whose namesake restaurant dishes up coastal delicacies to feast on after working up an appetite snorkeling in the transparent waters.

- Jose Barcelo/Villa Lilium
Villa Lilium
Spectacular sunsets await you at west-facing properties such as this gorgeous one, where the lush garden is complete with a vegetable patch. With views that stretch out to the horizon, a vibrant array of colors surrounds you as the sun goes down, from the house’s ochre stone that glows golden at dusk and the garden’s purple agapanthus flowers to the multiple shades of azure and sapphire out at sea. Up at the nearby historic town of Sóller, admire the neo-Gothic San Bartomeu church and the modernist Can Prunera museum, or visit the splendid Ecovinyassa orange farm, before taking the quaint, rickety wooden railway train down to the port.
