Escape to Mallorca with this $13.5M modern villa overlooking the Mediterranean

For anyone fantasizing about trading traffic and inboxes for long lunches, yacht-filled harbors and the Mediterranean stretching out below the terrace, Mallorca is making a particularly convincing case.

A newly completed contemporary villa high above Cala Llamp in Port d’Andratx has come to market for $13.5 million (€11.8 million), offering six bedrooms, more than 7,400 square feet of living space and sweeping views across the bay, open sea and La Mola.

And the timing may be particularly interesting for American buyers.

U.S. tourism to Mallorca surged 60% through June this year, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, as the Spanish island increasingly courts affluent American visitors. For some, a vacation could eventually turn into something considerably more permanent.

This particular escape sits on roughly a quarter-acre above Port d’Andratx, the glamorous harbor town on Mallorca’s southwestern coast.

Cody Stratford, Bryce Lowe, and Kirby Gillion of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California hold the listing.

The villa takes full advantage of its hillside perch.

Its south-facing position opens toward uninterrupted Mediterranean views, while the cantilevered architecture pushes terraces and living spaces outward toward the water.

Crisp white volumes contrast with expanses of natural Mallorcan stone, giving the modern house a distinctly local material connection rather than making it feel like a glass box transplanted onto the island.

The kitchen is by German manufacturer Leicht and fitted with upscale Gaggenau appliances, while Dornbracht and Grohe fixtures appear throughout the house.

Large sliding glass systems open the main living areas almost completely to the terrace.

Outside, the focal point is an infinity pool positioned against the sea views, accompanied by a wide sun deck and an outdoor kitchen.

It is the sort of setup that makes the distinction between indoors and outdoors feel largely irrelevant during Mallorca’s warmer months.

Inside, Sonos system has been wired across the entire residence, adding whole-home audio without interrupting the clean architecture.

The six en-suite bedrooms are distributed across several levels rather than concentrated into a single sleeping floor.

At the top of the house, the primary suite gets perhaps the best vantage point of all.

Its private terrace overlooks the water, while a dedicated dressing room gives the suite a more residential feel for anyone planning to stay considerably longer than a summer holiday.

Additional bedrooms sit across the ground and lower levels, giving guests their own degree of separation.

Downstairs, the house becomes more relaxed.

A billiard room and separate television/family room create spaces for evenings away from the terraces, while a two-car garage handles the practical side of island living.

Still, this is a house whose strongest argument is outside.

From the main terrace, the architecture appears to step down the hillside toward Cala Llamp, leaving the horizon largely unobstructed.

The pool, outdoor kitchen and sun deck are positioned to make the most of those views throughout the day, while the home’s southern orientation keeps the Mediterranean front and center.

And despite the elevated, private setting, Port d’Andratx marina is only minutes away.

The harbor is lined with restaurants, boutiques and yacht clubs, providing a more polished alternative to spending every afternoon beside the infinity pool — though the latter would be difficult to give up.

That accessibility helps explain why Port d’Andratx has become such a draw for international second-home owners.

Here, the appeal isn’t simply the scenery.

It is the ability to spend the morning overlooking Cala Llamp, head down to the marina for lunch, and return to a terrace suspended above the Mediterranean before sunset.

For $13.5 million, the Mallorca fantasy comes fully built.
