Description Sand In My Toes: Alcúdia

Sandwiched between a lake and a white-sand beach, this home is one for water-lovers. Blue-flagged Alcudia Beach and its mile long-stretch of turquoise waters is only a short walk through the pine trees, while a boardwalk runs around the lake for early morning jogs.

Feeling lazy? Cool off in the villa's private pool before lounging in the garden. Interiors are modern and minimalist, from the black-tiled floors to the cream and white furniture. Come together in the open-plan living space to cook meals in the modern kitchen, curl up on the huge sofa or dine around the glass table. Bedrooms pay homage to the sea with swirling prints and white walls. The master has its own balcony which is perfect for morning coffee. Best of all, there's a rooftop terrace with 360 degree views – why not head up there one morning to catch the sunrise?
