Architecture and Atmosphere
Set within the quiet northern hills of San Lorenzo, Villa Amaya is a modern six-bedroom property designed for absolute privacy. The architecture features clean, sharp lines softened by natural stone walls and warm timber details. It sits on a generous, fenced plot surrounded by pine trees, where the primary sounds are birdsong and the breeze.
Staying here centres around the slow rhythm of the countryside. The property provides expansive country views that stretch out towards Santa Eulalia. Inside, the spaces are polished yet comfortable, equipped with air conditioning, underfloor heating, and a fireplace to ensure the house works well throughout the seasons.
Living Spaces and Outdoors
All six bedroom suites are located within the main house, making it easy for groups to stay close together. Each room is finished to a high standard, featuring king-size beds, crisp linens, and an uncluttered design. With six bathrooms, a safety box, and wheelchair-friendly access, the layout is highly practical for parties of up to twelve.
The living areas transition smoothly to the outdoors through large glass doors. A fully fitted kitchen, complete with a wine cooler, handles group catering with ease. Outside, the focal point is the saltwater infinity pool, bordered by a wide stone terrace and multiple sunloungers shaded by parasols.
The exterior spaces are built for gathering. You will find an outdoor kitchen, a barbecue, and a dedicated outdoor bar. Al fresco dining takes place on the covered terrace, allowing guests to eat comfortably while looking out over the rural landscape.
Daily Life at the Villa
Villa Amaya works exceptionally well for affluent families, groups of friends, and wellness retreats. The combination of private parking, a comprehensive alarm system, and a secluded location appeals directly to privacy seekers and nature lovers who want to disconnect from the busier coastal resorts.
A typical day begins with coffee on the terrace, listening to the morning birdsong. Afternoons are often spent reading on the sunloungers or swimming in the infinity pool. As the day ends, guests gather around the outdoor bar while the setting sun turns the mountain views amber and violet.
Evenings here are defined by the lack of light pollution, offering excellent stargazing. A music system and smart TV with satellite channels provide entertainment options if you choose to stay in after a long dinner prepared in the outdoor kitchen.
Exploring San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo is a tiny inland hamlet known for its rural character and deep peace. Despite this remote feel, the villa keeps the rest of the island within easy reach. The nearby villages of Santa Gertrudis, San Juan, and San Carlos offer excellent gastronomy and access to local markets like Las Dalias.
When you want to leave the pool behind, the northern beaches are highly accessible. The bay of Benirràs is a short drive away, known for its clear water and sunset drumming sessions.
This area of Sant Joan de Labritja is highly prized by those who value the authentic countryside lifestyle. It allows you to enjoy total silence at night while remaining well-connected to the cultural and culinary highlights of the north.
