About this property

Villa Son Vives, impressive mansion with unbeatable panoramic sea views in Banyalbufar

If you are looking to spend your holidays in Mallorca in complete tranquillity and peace, enjoying one of the best views of the sea on the island, the singing of birds and the sky full of stars at night, Villa Son Vives is what you are looking for. Villa Son Vives is located in the heights of Banyalbufar, a small town with great and varied charms, in the heart of the Sierra de Tramuntana but, at the same time, decisively looking out to sea.



Villa Son Vives offers guests the main house and guest house. The main house is accessed through a large old solid wood door and leads to a fully equipped kitchen combined with a dining room with a large table for 8 people. Going up 2 steps, you access the relaxation area with 2 comfortable sofas and the TV. A corridor from the living room will take you to the large main bedroom with a double bed and a sofa bed and an en-suite bathroom, which can be a perfect option for families with small children. Also, from the living room, you have access to a full bathroom with a shower, crossing which leads to a double bedroom with 2 single beds. From each room in the main house, you can enjoy impressive sea views.



To the guest house, one accesses through a typical small Mallorcan courtyard. This house has the following layout: upon entering, you reach the first bedroom with a sofa bed, from here you access a reception area with a large wardrobe and access to another bedroom with its double bed and the full bathroom with bathtub.

Villa Son Vives is equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable and worry-free stay with your family and friends: air conditioning in the bedrooms of the main house and ceiling fans in the guest house, heating, WiFi, fully equipped kitchen (oven, fridge, microwave, water kettle, toaster, coffee maker, washing machine and complete kitchenware), sheets and towels (bath and pool), and much more.



The highlight of this impressive property is its exteriors with extensive gardens with typical Mediterranean trees and shrubs, lawn and vineyards. In the pool area, you will have 8 sun loungers, a large pergola with a dining table for 8 people and BBQ and a small lookout with a wrought iron table and two chairs where you can have your breakfast or a glass of wine with your partner. From every corner of the exteriors, you will enjoy unbeatable sea views from a bird's eye view that will not stop impressing you throughout your stay.



Banyalbufar is a small and charming village with a lovely historic centre with cafés, bars, restaurants, fruit shops and various stores that mainly offer local products. In particular, it is worth visiting some of its local wineries. A beautiful waterfall and a historic tower called Torre de Ses Ànimes, which was built as protection against pirate attacks in the 16th century, can also be appreciated.



Villa Son Vives and Slow Villas invite you to spend some of the best and unforgettable holidays of your life.

Just good, could be great

Group of six (two couples, two singles) booked this for 4 nights. Was described as 4BR mansion.The good: Absolutely gorgeous location, stunning sea & coastal views, loved the peace and quiet over Banyalbufar. Stone exterior of house is really cool. Pool and patio are a 10, such a great place to return to each afternoon and lounge around watching the sunset. Loved those vibes. Kitchen was quite usable for cooking meals, & living room was comfortable for lounging - has a small smart TV that somehow streamed fine despite the rest of the WiFi not working (see below). Slow Villas staff was friendly, responsive & accommodating - they helped us out when our flight cancelled last minute resulting in us arriving to Palma after hours.The bad: its really not a 4BR mansion, its a 2BR/2BA apartment on the ground floor of a mansion, with a detached annex that has 1BR/1BA and a tiny uncomfortable sofabed in the entry area. Not ideal for our group, the guy who drew the short straw had some pretty sleepless nights. The whole thing is fairly dated - which is fine, it’s an old house - but mostly just in need of a bit of love and maintenance. Long-term water damage/mold, discolored/peeling paint, flickering cold fluorescent lights. Wifi was weak and wasn’t really usable (except for tv streaming), which was unfortunate as one of our party needed to stay in contact with work back home. There’s a bit of lack of attention to detail. With some effort, this place could be great.

Grundsätzlich ein wunderschöner Ferienort in einem einzigartigen Haus.

Grundsätzlich ein wunderschöner Ferienort in einem einzigartigen Haus. Sehr flexibel auch bei Spezialwünschen (warme Decken). In Notfällen erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Spezialinfo: Die Zufahrt zu diesem Haus führt durchs Dorf Banyalbufar und ist SEHR tricky. An zwei Stellen unglaublich eng und wir waren froh, hatten wir KLEINE Mietaustos. Ansonsten alles wunderbar und unvergesslich!

Ein wirklich sehr schönes geräumiges, individuell eingerichtetes Haus in einem ganz bezaubernden Dorf. Ruhig, mit wunderschöner Aussicht. Einkaufsgelegenheit und tolle Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar. Allerdings sollte man darauf achten, kein großes Auto zu mieten, ansonsten wird man an den engen Straßen zum Haus hinauf scheitern.Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt.
