Mallorca is one of those rare places where you can do it all: spend the morning hiking through pine forests, swim in a turquoise cove in the afternoon, and still make it back to a dinner reservation at a Michelin-starred spot. Its coastline swings between limestone cliffs and secluded turquoise coves, while inland, stone villages and terraced olive groves tell centuries-old stories.
And while the island is no stranger to high-end hotels and boutique stays, one of the best ways to tap into the island’s slow rhythms and surprising range is by staying in an Airbnb. Skip the resorts and you’ll find hilltop fincas with infinity pools, minimalist townhouses tucked down winding alleys, and bohemian villas in the countryside that feel like secret creative retreats.
Whether you’re chasing sun, solitude, or just a prettier Zoom background, these are the stays that make Mallorca feel like home (if home had sea views and a lemon grove, that is).
Perks: Fireplace, washing machine, full kitchen
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood just outside the charming town of Sóller (just a few minutes from its cafes, galleries, and famous wooden tram that trundles down to the port), Ca Sa Mar feels more like a lived-in home than a vacation rental—and that’s exactly its magic. Inside the sun-dappled stone façade, the four-bedroom house combines rustic textures with subtle modern updates: original wood-beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls, and antique Mallorcan furniture are offset by clean-lined sofas, curated bookshelves, and a kitchen made for lazy breakfasts and long, wine-soaked dinners. The layout flows easily from cozy living areas to a spacious terrace where bougainvillea climbs the blonde stone exterior and mountain views stretch beyond the pool. From $1,321 per night.
Perks: Private interior patio, Mediterranean garden, movie room, heated pool, outdoor shower, housekeeping services
Perched just a stone’s throw from the iconic Belmond La Residencia in the storied village of Deià, this charming 17th century villa blends late Renaissance and Italian Mannerist architecture with thoughtful modern comforts. You enter through fragrant gardens where lavender plants and citrus trees frame a heated plunge pool—ideal for a late-afternoon refresh before meandering into town. Inside the four-bedroom manor, the furniture skews natural—think low-slung sofas in creamy textiles, carved wood side tables, and terracotta vases. The bedrooms are simple and soothing, featuring gauzy curtains and stone-framed windows that let in golden light and offer stunning garden views. From $1,542 per night.
Perks: Pool, full kitchen, sweeping views
With its cotton candy blue shutters, sculptural ceilings, and splashy palette of pinks and oranges, every corner of this hilltop hideaway feels like it was designed to lift your mood. The bedrooms are simple yet stylish, featuring whitewashed walls, wrought-iron bed frames, and olive green throws layered over crisp white linens. French doors swing open onto the gardens, featuring a private patio fringed with Mediterranean greenery, and include a turquoise plunge pool and a breezy macramé hammock—perfect for midday siestas or post-swim lounging. From $1,386 per night.
Perks: Infinity pool, multiple indoor and outdoor lounging areas, sweeping views
Situated high above the southern cliffs of Mallorca’s coast, this villa has its own front-row seat to the Mediterranean. With four distinct terraces, including a leafy front garden, twin dining terraces for leisurely lunches and shaded dinners, a pool deck lined with loungers, there are oodles of spots to take in cinematic views of the sea. Inside, bold design choices take center stage. Vibrant woven rugs, textured throws, and fringed cushions add warmth and character to every room, while oversized pendant lights—some sculptural, others wonderfully strange—float overhead like pieces of art. And in the main lounge, two deep, linen-clad sofas face a fireplace made of chunky rock slabs that look quarried straight from the hillside. The villa sleeps eight across three bedrooms in the main house and a fourth in a detached guest suite, all dressed in crisp white sheets and featuring brown and black accents. From $2,315 per night.
Perks: Saltwater pool, wine fridge, modern kitchen
It feels appropriate that almost every piece of furniture in this Airbnb is angled towards a window—the views of the protected port are staggering. But the house itself is no slouch. The main living space is open-plan and seamless, with pale stone floors and walls of windows that flood the room with light. Adjacent is a sprawling kitchen with clean lines, custom-built-in cabinetry, and a generous island made for group breakfasts or impromptu tapas spreads. Upstairs, the bedrooms are pared-back but plush: platform beds dressed in crisp white linens, soft wool rugs, and billowing drapes. Each en-suite bath is spa-like, featuring polished concrete floors, colorful tilework, rainfall showers, and, in some cases, a soaking tub. Outside, a saltwater pool overlooks the sea, while a wraparound terrace, al fresco dining area, and loungers make it a hard place to leave. From $2,616 per night.
Perks: Pool, resident animals, fruit grove, covered porch
This beautifully restored 15th-century mansion, perched above Lloret de Vistalegre, is the kind of country escape that feels like stepping into your own private Mallorcan estate. Set on 25 acres of forest, fields, and fruit groves, the centuries-old home offers three bedrooms, with the upstairs primary suite overlooking sweeping vistas of the Sierra de Llevant. Outside, a pool floats above a Mediterranean garden, surrounded by wildflowers and gravel paths. There’s also a shaded dining porch, an additional multifunctional casita, and a small cast of resident animals—donkeys, dwarf goats, chickens, and fish—that give the place a slow, pastoral vibe. From $367 per night.
Perks: Jacuzzi, beach access, spa-like bathrooms
There are villas with sea views, and then there’s this place—built straight on the cliffs above Cala Deià, where the horizon isn't just visible, it’s practically in the living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living room frame the Mediterranean like a painting—uninterrupted blue stretching out from every angle. Inside, exposed wooden beams, soft gray-blue walls, and simple, comfortable furnishings give the space a subtle nautical feel without feeling kitschy. Outside, the main terrace serves as a natural extension of the living space, with areas for lounging and dining beneath the open sky. Down below, a second terrace holds a stone-built grill and an in–ground jacuzzi. With four bedrooms and two spa-inspired bathrooms, the villa comfortably accommodates families or groups of friends. Still, the best perk of all is arguably direct beach access to Cala Deià’s pebbled shore. From $675 per night.
