THE EPICUREAN PAD Son Brull, Mallorca

Set your savvy co-ordinates to the Balearic Islands, this place deserves some serious attention. A rich epicurean combo of cloistral heritage and Mediterranean smoothness poise a contemporary note of ease that echoes here at the family owned Son Brull.

Void of the maddening crowds, our Balearic find is tucked away in a 30 hectares estate close to Pollença on the northern corner of Mallorca.

Approaching, you get a sense of the monastic, casting a mesmeric silhouette from the raised setting.

Expect abstract artistic elements blended with a patina of exposed metals, aged woods and heritage pieces. There is certain air of expected solace within, which resonates throughout, as indeed does an impeccable sense of dedicated styling that adopts rural tonality suffused with sophisticated Catalan palette and modernist icons.

Certainly designed for the urban sybarites of today, zeitgeist in essence, packed with contemporary grandeur, all nicely topped with that essential regional soul.

This is, the Son Brull
