I’m not precisely recognized for my abilities of organisation, so my husband’s expectations for his huge birthday weekend had been low to say the least. He considers himself fortunate if I keep in mind to get him a card.
Little did he know we had been heading to the Valldemossa Lodge, a newly renovated manor home nestled within the Sierra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage website on the sting of Valldemossa village in Mallorca. As we arrived, with ice-cold glowing cava in hand and enjoyable on the sun-baked purple stone patio overlooking the mountains, we couldn’t imagine how simple it had been to get right here. Only a 90 minute flight from Gatwick and a 30 minute switch from Palma makes this the proper distance for lengthy weekend escapism.
The property sympathetically blends modern Spanish artwork and fashionable designer furnishings, with pure stone and earthy toned partitions. This mix of excessive design with breathtaking nature is a signature of the IT Mallorca lodge group, which has a number of properties on the island. Our room was stuffed with charming particulars; snuggly cashmere blankets to get pleasure from morning espresso on the terrace, a signature lodge perfume of fig and lemon to create sensorial reminiscences and the fluffiest big tub towels.
