Sir Richard Branson has opened the doors of his Mallorca estate to holiday-makers, giving us a sneak peek at the interiors...
Sir Richard Branson has listed his Mallorca holiday property with The Villa Collective, opening the doors of his 680 acre estate to holiday makers.
Named Sa Punta De S'Aguila, the main house sits on the north coast of the island of Palma.
Sa Punta De S’Aguila literally translates as ‘Eagle’s Point’, and is perched high above the western coastline, with spectacular sea and mountain views.
The estate is a short drive away from the village of Banyalbufar in an unspoilt part of the island known as ‘authentic Mallorca’. The land also includes two further cottages, Sa Terra Rotja and Villa Son Bonlaguret, available to rent separately. Sa Punta De S’Aguila and the two other villas on the estate share a tennis court (with rackets and balls provided).
The five-bedroom Sa Punta De S'Aguila can sleep up to 12 guests and comes with 15-metre-long heated private swimming pool, table tennis and games, stunning sea views and plenty of sun loungers and parasols on the surrounding terrace.
The €22,375 - €32,075 per week price also includes all food and drink (including wines and spirits). There's a continental breakfast prepared for all of the guests every morning, as well as lunch and a three-course dinner every day.
The interiors feature traditional Mallorca style, with exposed stone walls, oak beams and terracotta-tiled floors.

There's an outdoor grill area as well as several covered outdoor 'chill' zones.
And finally, you can rent nearby Sa Terra Rotja (€17,900 - €25,660 per week) too, which has room for eight guests.
