FINCA AMETLLA – POLLENSA

Magnificent country estate with top-level features set in stunning scenery 

OVERVIEW 

If you are looking for a truly exquisite, next-level stay on Mallorca, then this uber-luxurious villa estate fits the bill. Spread over 100 hectares of lush beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens, there’s so much to explore and enjoy at this exclusive country retreat. Its stunning locale offers countless breathtaking valley vistas, while five-star-level features include a luxe spa and high-end cinema room. Add field-to-fork dining from their onsite farm, a big family-friendly pool and even its own lake, and you have easily one of the finest places to stay on the whole island.

SETTING

Nestled against the wooded hillside of Pollensa Valley, this sprawling estate occupies a particularly stunning slice of Mallorcan countryside. As well as being just a short drive from the pretty and historic town of Pollensa, the retreat is just a 15-minute drive from the Bay of Pollensa’s sweeping golden beaches. You’ll also find yourself just a short hop from the island’s Tramuntana Sierra with its abundance of hiking trails and cycling routes for all levels.

SLEEPING

The estate’s main building houses eight bedrooms that sleep up to 16 guests. Rooms mostly feature flamboyant classical flourishes such as chandeliers and velvet headboards, while ensuite bathrooms come with walk-in showers or freestanding roll-top tubs; one features a jetted tub with gorgeous countryside views while you soak. There are also two separate casitas within the grounds for those who prefer more privacy away from the main house. 

RELAXING

This uber-luxury villa provides guests with an incredible range of five-star facilities. A highlight is a seriously deluxe spa, which offers everything from sauna and steam rooms to a state-of-the-art gym and indoor heated swimming pool – there’s even a snow room. Of course, there’s a generous outdoor pool too, with a splash pool for kids, plus poolside loungers where you can enjoy the glorious views over the surrounding landscape. The little ones will love the farm where they can visit horses, sheep, goats, and donkeys, plus there’s a lovely lake, complete with ivy-clad folly, which you can stroll around. Indoors, you’ll find snooker and cinema rooms as well as a library and cosy lounge where you can curl up with a book.  

EATING 

A theatrical Italian kitchen comes with top-of-the-line professional appliances, great if you want to cook yourself or you’d rather let a private chef do all the work. Choose from two elegant dining rooms indoors, or for going alfresco there’s a barbecue and plenty of options to eat outside. For farm-to-table dining, you can have meals prepared from produce grown on the estate and they even have their own wine, honey and olive oil. And if you fancy eating out, there’s no shortage of great restaurants in neighbouring Pollensa.
