Sea and sky stretch out before the cool, contemporary Villa Murillo I. This newly built Mallorca vacation rental is perched on a hillside above the exclusive oceanfront resort of Port d’Andratx and is close to some of the island’s top-ranked beaches and golf courses. But its spacious terrace, more than 6,000 square feet of living space and quiet residential neighborhood make it a private retreat in the sunshine. Take in the views from the villa’s expansive two-level terrace, which has a shaded dining area, pergola-covered sitting area and a row of loungers in the sunshine by the pool. There’s also an al-fresco shower where you can rinse off after a swim and a barbecue where you can try out local specialties. For those who want to keep up with their routines while on holiday, there’s an exercise room; for those who prefer to indulge, there’s a sauna and a wine fridge. The property’s sleek modern architecture was finished with high-end materials for an ambience of thoughtful luxury. The L-shaped main living spaces are flooded with light from the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, and details like tray ceilings and hardwood floors lend a refined feel. A pair of sofas make room for friends and family to gather in the living room, as do the Wishbone chairs around the long dining table and the minimalist stools at the breakfast bar in the fully equipped kitchen. The villa’s four air-conditioned bedrooms, each of which has an en-suite bathroom, can accommodate groups of up to eight. There are three bedrooms with queen beds, including two honeymoon-worthy master suites that open to a terrace and balcony, respectively, and one bedroom with two twin beds. To enjoy all that Mallorca has to offer, simply drive down the hill from Villa Murillo I. You’ll find shopping, dining and a quaint lighthouse in Port d’Andratx, even more choices in the city of Andratx and eighteen challenging holes at Golf de Andratx. Sun seekers won’t want to miss the gorgeous bay at Cala Llamp or the sandy beach at Camp de Mar. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
