Historic villa with sea views – A unique property near Son Vida

Combining historic charm with modern living comfort, this exceptional villa offers a rare combination of location, architecture and history. Situated in an elevated position on a 1,794 m² plot in the immediate neighbourhood of the sought-after Son Vida residential district, the property boasts magnificent views of the sea, the old town of Palma and the famous La Seu cathedral. Built in 1920, the villa was once owned by Jaime Garau de Montaner, a general who had an influential career in Cuba, the Philippines, Morocco and Spain. The villa was completely gutted and renovated to the highest standards in 2013. The original character has been deliberately preserved, with ornate stucco ceilings, decorative Art Nouveau tiles and an impressive entrance hall with a marble staircase being carefully restored to give the house its unmistakable identity. With a total floor area of 834 m², the villa offers spacious, light-filled rooms that are ideal for private retreats and a stylish social life. The villa has a total of eight bedrooms, each with their own elegant bathroom. There is also a separate guest flat with its own kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, which would be ideal for visitors, staff or as an independent retreat. Inside, the house impresses with its clear room layout, high ceilings, and successful combination of classic materials and modern technology. The open-plan living and dining area, complete with a fireplace, opens out onto the terrace and garden. Meanwhile, the spacious kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances and offers ample storage space, blending seamlessly into the living concept. The outdoor area is prestigious and private. Various terraces, a large pool with an underwater sound system, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and well-tended garden areas with mature trees create a Mediterranean oasis in which to relax, unwind, and entertain. This villa is an architectural gem with character — a home that evokes the past while meeting the highest modern standards.
