El Toro Rojo

Nestled in the Mallorcan countryside, a ten-minute drive from the super yacht-lined marina at Port d'Andratx, this three-bedroom villa offers a picturesque secluded setting within easy reach of the island's glitz and glamour.

An elegant interior is furnished with refined antiques made of exotic wood, a gold-coloured chandelier and exposed timber. At the same time, tiled floors, pristine white walls and soaring ceilings keep things light and bright throughout. An open plan kitchen, dining room, and seating area on the ground floor ensures you can spend time together whether you're on cooking duty that night or curled up on the couch with a book.

If you'd like a bit of time to yourself, there's an additional sitting room on the first floor, with an adjacent balcony where you take in the view. Alternatively, take yourself off to your room where you can relax or enjoy the ultimate indulgence – an afternoon nap.

An inviting pool offers a pleasant place to cool off from the heat of the day, with sun loungers and a day bed to relax on in between dips. Elsewhere, a vine-covered pergola offers a sun-dappled spot to sit out or tuck into group meals in the great outdoors.

If you fancy a day at the beach, Camp de Mar is under 2km away, but there are plenty of others to choose from within a ten-minute drive. Meanwhile, the ancient Mallorcan town of Andratx is lined with modern art galleries and a short ten-minute drive away. Come evening, head to the similarly named Port d'Andratx, where you'll find lively bars and stunning seafood restaurants looking out over the yachts.
