Facing the Canyamel valley, next to the golf

Canyamel is one of those quiet corners of eastern Mallorca, and this villa holds a good spot: the Canyamel Golf Club is right next door and the beach is 1.4 kilometres away. The house opens onto striking country views, with modern facilities and that feeling of being set apart without giving anything up.

Inside: an open kitchen, a living room and a terrace with a view

The kitchen is open, with a large dining table, and flows into a modern living room that leads straight out to a generous terrace. From there, the view over the Canyamel valley is one that stays with you. The pool — 10 by 4 metres, 1.90 deep — is reached from the bedrooms and from the kitchen by an outdoor staircase, so the water is never far off.

Bedrooms: four, all en-suite

Four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One sits on the ground floor, with its own little terrace and private bathroom; the other three are on the lower level, with direct access to the pool and their three bathrooms. Add a guest toilet on top. Plenty of room, and privacy for everyone.

The bonus: the Cap Vermell Country Club, free

Staying here gives you free access to the Cap Vermell Country Club, 700 metres away: indoor pool, sauna, padel courts and a gym at your disposal. And 900 metres on, the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel has three restaurants worth the trip. Keys are collected at the Country Club — from there it’s just 700 metres to the villa.
