Hunting down the best villas in Mallorca was such a gorgeous task. With its beautiful landscape and guaranteed sunshine, thriving foodie scene and boutique shopping, it’s easy to see why Mallorca is one of Europe’s most popular summer escapes – with the likes of Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston and even the Spanish royal family flocking here every year.
Located on the largest of Spain’s Balearic Isles, the best Mallorca hotels are of five-star luxury – but for many of us, the lure of a private villa is just as strong. After all, the best villas in Mallorca are ideal for larger groups, whether that’s multi-gen family trips or holidays with pals. And with options that allow you to either save a few pennies (self-catering for the win) or splash some cash on a mega-pad for a holiday to remember, there’s something for everyone.
So, whether you’re heading to the stylish capital, Palma, and want a restored townhouse apartment to match, or were thinking more along the lines of a rustic farmhouse or authentic stone-walled finca on the coast, we’ve got something that will tick all your boxes.

How we chose the best villas in Mallorca
We turned to trusted villa accommodation websites – Airbnb, Plum Guide, Oliver’s Travels and Welcome Beyond – for their top picks, and included properties that friends of friends have stayed at previously, too.
Filtered by guest popularity, our choices are not only design-led and beautiful, but also boast the best locations and features too, whether that’s an infinity pool, outdoor bathroom area or amazing views. We took into account a diverse mix of things, such as distance to the beach, how many bathrooms per person and whether or not it was fully serviced, plus added extras like private chefs and in-villa spa treatments, to find the crème de la crème that Mallorca has to offer – whether you’re a couple on your honeymoon or a group of girlfriends.
