New for 2016 to Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson’s collection of prestigious award-winning retreats, Sa Punta de S’Aguila takes the luxury stakes of the Balearics to a new level. Set in the seven-hundred acre gated estate of Son Bunyola, enveloped by lush vines, citrus trees and almond and olive groves, guests will find a rustic retreat with a difference. Boasting stunning views of the sea across the verdant tree tops, backed against the breathtaking craggy skyline of the Tramuntana mountain range, feel immersed in a secluded rural haven, and take the time to make the most of the array of Mallorcan treasures on offer.
With a fantastic all-inclusive offering, relax in pure comfort, as a team of twelve villa staff take care of every need. The chef, whose past experience includes preparing cuisine for discerning guests of fellow Virgin Limited Edition property, Necker Island, will prepare dinners and lunches inspired by the array of tantalising local ingredients with menus tailored to guest requirements. Dine alfresco on the terrace to make the most of this spectacularly secluded location, later sipping on drinks in the balmy Mediterranean twilight.
Inside, the interiors of the villa strike the perfect balance between a traditional Mallorcan finca and a modern luxury home. With exposed beam ceilings and terracotta tiles, enjoy a true sense of place, and spend your days lounging by the heated swimming pool, or playing a game of tennis on the court shared by fellow Son Bunyola Estate property, Sa Terra Rotja. While everything is catered for in the villa by the team of staff, it is highly recommended that guests hire a car to explore the charms of the surrounding area, and there is a concierge on hand to assist. Set in a region renowned for its food, drink, art and culture, north-west Mallorca may surprise with the trove of places to discover. The idyllic town of Banyalbufar is closest – a favourite place of many guests to stop for lunch or dinner – while the picturesque artist town of Deia and the bustling capital of Palma are an easy drive away. Whether the day is spent cycling through the mountains or watching the day go by at a nearby cafe, Sa Punta de S’Aguila is a fabulous way to get more out of this delightful island.
