You might be tempted to start in the well-stocked wine cellar at Villa Can Victoria, if only to select a bottle worthy of toasting the views from the balcony – a full turquoise sweep of the north Mallorcan peninsula stretching out to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor.

Built in the 1930s, this five-bedroom mansion has bright lofty living rooms and large windows that frame views of the deep blue beyond. Distractions of a different kind can be found on the lower-ground floor where there’s a gym, a hot tub, a sauna, a hammam, and a cosy cinema room.
