Description Bread and Olive Oil: Santanyí

This idyllic villa is the perfect place to gather for some Balearic bliss. It's based in the easy-going resort of Cala D’Or, just a stone’s throw from golden beaches, and you can park the car at the start of the holiday and leave it there till it’s time to go home. Interiors hit that sweet spot between traditional Mallorcan and contemporary design, with terracotta floors and antique beds contrasting with a high-gloss kitchen and Hans Wegner dining chairs. Outside, there’s a unique curvy pool and a multitude of terraced spots to sit with a drink or a morning coffee. Wander down to one of the sandy calas for a swim in the azure sea, or watch the super-yachts come and go from the glamorous marina. Evenings are for barbecues on the terrace, or if cooking doesn’t factor into your idea of a holiday, take the five-minute stroll into the resort and grab a table at one of the myriad restaurants.
