Casa Negra

You can practically smell the ocean at this traditional stone villa in Mallorca at the foot of the Boquer mountains. A 20 minute walk from the white sands of Puerto Pollensa, you’re perfectly situated to work on your tan (or scuba diving, or sailing…) If the beach isn’t for you, you’ve got the comfort of a private pool in the garden, surrounded by pleasant palms and the rolling hills. This farmhouse-style holiday villa is all about family. There’s one small TV, but you might not even turn it on. Sitting areas inside and out invite you to open a bottle of Mallorcan wine and connect with your loved ones. Bring the ingredients for a feast home from the Sunday market in Pollensa, and lay it out at the long wooden farmhouse table on the terrace for a truly sumptuous meal. The natural beauty of Mallorca isn’t only in beaches - visit the Cap Formentor lighthouse for a look at craggy cliffs above the blue of the bay. The mountainous terrain means there are opportunities to hike, climb, or zipline. Climb the 365 Calvari Steps in Pollensa (7 km) for an astounding view of the town below - what a holiday!
