Villa Rafaella, Majorca

Description

Surrounded by 13 hectares of orange, grapefruit and olive trees, backed by the Tramuntana Mountains and with elevated front-row views of the sparkling sea, Villa Rafaella’s peaceful natural setting is hard to beat.

Hidden away behind huge wooden doors, this luxury villa with a sea view is the work of esteemed Spanish architect Thomas Urquijo. On the outside, it’s a pretty-as-a-picture traditional stone house, with fairy-tale shutters and arched doorways. A sense of indoor/outdoor living pervades throughout, with cool blue hues, tiled floors and large windows framed by billowing drapes.

There’s plenty of space to all come together or to find your own pocket of peace. The charming kitchen/dining area with its bespoke lighting and individual artwork add a warm, homely feel – and there are two lounges, ideal if you’re holidaying with children. If work calls, a useful office provides a quiet corner free from distraction, and each bedroom is a calming sanctuary.

Outdoors, the courtyard-style swimming pool is a real sun trap, where you can float in the waters looking up at the clear blue sky. When you need some respite from the heat, the covered open-air terrace is the ideal retreat. At sunset, find a spot on one of the terraces and lose yourself in the mesmerising view as the sun sinks into the sea. This elegant Majorcan villa provides the luxury of design, space and nature.

Kids

Children can have plenty of outdoor fun thanks to the villa’s gardens and private swimming pool, and the swimming pool’s position close to the villa makes it easy to keep an eye on them.

The two lounges mean that there’s room for kids to have their own indoor space away from the grown-ups, too.
