Can Lluc's rural location in the centre of the island is ideal for those seeking to enjoy the island's more gentle pace and take in beautiful sunsets, soak up the sunshine by the pool, enjoy some yoga or fitness training, indulge with a blissful massage, dine on gourmet cuisine and return home relaxed and restored. We particularly like the contemporary 1 to 3 bedroom villas at Can Lluc

A former monastery, but now a modern, design-oriented luxury hotel, set in beautiful countryside in the north of the island near Pollença, in the foothills of La Tramuntana mountains. Son Brull has just 23 rooms and suites, combining urban chic with Mediterranean comfort: it's a place to chill out and warm up in the sunshine. 

Set in over 100 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland, at the foot of La Tramuntana Mountains (in Mallorca's south west corner), this country estate (dating back to 1450) has been magnificently restored to exacting standards. Castel Son Claret is now one of Spain’s most luxurious hotels, with just 39 rooms and suites, a two Michelin star restaurant and a gorgeous spa. 

The boutique hotel that Menorca has been crying out for, Torralbenc is a charming hideaway in a beautifully converted and modernised former 19th century finca in the south west of the island, within easy striking distance of some of the island’s finest beaches. With just 27 rooms and cottages, Torralbenc is a fabulous, tranquil, sunny getaway - just 15 minutes from the harbour scene in Mahon.

A charming, romantic 5* boutique hotel on the north east coast, for adults only. Positioned on a cliff overlooking the remarkably turquoise Mediterranean, to which it has direct access, Can Simoneta is ideal for a long weekend, or longer. The expansive gardens, two swimming pools, glorious views, spa treatments, luxury accommodation and delicious cuisine all combine to ensure a wonderful stay. 

Set on the beautiful Formentor peninsula on the island's north coast, this elegant beach hotel - with first class facilities and services - is where Princess Grace and Prince Ranier enjoyed their honeymoon. Completely refurbished in 2017, Formentor Royal Hideaway is ideal for both families and adults. 

Set on the island's north west coast, in easy strolling distance of the pretty village of Deià, in the foothills of the majestic Tramuntana mountains. With first class facilities and services, this luxury boutique hotel works well for both couples and families. See Belmond La Residencia  

Hidden away in the Ibiza countryside, with just 16 rooms and suites, Cas Gasi is a charming boutique hotel that reflects the island’s agricultural history and contemporary eco-tourism. Whether you’re looking to completely relax, with yoga, juices and spa treatments or you’re seeking a quiet spot to retreat with your lover, friends or family, Cas Gasi is a wonderful choice. 

If you want to be on a beach, and Ibiza is your destination of choice, we think the island's best option is the new Nobu Hotel on Ibiza Bay. It can't really be described as boutique (it has 150 bedrooms and suites) but does have direct access to the sea, plus two freshwater swimming pools to choose from. As well as four great restaurants (including, of course, a fantastic Nobu restaurant for the ultimate epicurean experience), there is a small Six Senses Spa offering signature treatments and therapies, a gym and a yoga pavilion. Investigate Nobu Ibiza

​We recommend Ibiza from late Spring to Autumn. The number and variety of villas (from 1 to 7 bedrooms) on the White Isle is extensive but, by late Spring, you can bet that most of the best ones for the summer holidays will have been booked. We have over 30 villas on our books in Ibiza, so please just get in touch and we'll find one to suit you. In the meantime, do take a look at one of our 3 bedroom Ibiza villas or one of our 4 bedroom Ibiza villas. These are both at the lower end of the price spectrum, as are the contemporary 1 to 3 bedroom villas at Hotel Can Lluc. But, if you're after a super-lux 5 bedroom villa, there's clifftop Ca'n Castello or, on it's own private island, there's 5 suite Tagomago

With its spectacular beaches, stunning mountain scenery, charming towns and villages - this wonderful Mediterranean island is the largest of the Balearic Islands and has lots on offer to ensure a fabulous family holiday. Whether you would like to be near Deià and Sóller on the west coast or near Pollença in the north or Cala D'Or on the east coast, or any point in between, we would like to think that we can find the ideal villa to suit you. We have over 50 villas on our books in Mallorca, ranging in size from 2 to 7 bedrooms. Villas range from charming and simple to uber-glamorous, but all have private pools and are delightful in their own ways. Favourites include 5 bedroom Villa C'an Mondrago, 3 bedroom Ca'n Tierra and 4 bedroom El Mirador. Please call us on 0203 019 3722 and let us know what you're after.
