A short drive from Palma, Villa Havana in Mallorca is a stylish tribute to the Cuban capital. A pair of architects have restored this grand residence to the grandeur of its glory days, when it was the home of a design-minded general. Huge windows and high ceilings form the backdrop to art deco details, such as original floral or geometric tiles, wicker chairs and hanging lamps. Each of the bedrooms in this hillside hideaway has an ensuite bathroom, king-size bed and dreamy decor (we particularly love the antique linen headboards). The home has a huge kitchen, perfect for cooking for a crowd – and there’s a pine-shaded kitchen out in the grounds, as well as a palm-tree-lined pool.

First Glance

Photos Villa Havana
  • Heritage Havana-inspired building built in the late 19th century and lovingly brought back to life by two architects.
  • Lofty ceilings and art deco design, with original patterned tiles, statement chandeliers and vintage furniture.
  • Living room with patio doors that lead to the wraparound first-floor terrace, a glass-fronted fireplace and under-floor heating.
  • A second living room on the top floor, with exposed ceiling beams, leather armchairs, a four-seater sofa and a wall-mounted projector.
  • Dining room on the first floor with more of the signature high ceilings, original art deco tiles and wooden shutters. The patio doors lead to another wraparound terrace, which overlooks the gardens, pool and the sea, and there’s a large wooden dining table.
  • The huge kitchen is on the first floor and has a granite-topped island, Neff induction hob, triple marble sinks, a Nespresso machine, bar stools and an American-style (read: enormous) fridge-freezer.
  • Just off the kitchen, there’s a more informal dining area, with a wooden table that seats six and patio doors that lead out to the terrace, which has views of the sea, Palma’s cathedral and Bellver Castle.

Location

Photos Villa Havana
  • The villa is at the end of a narrow street in a peaceful residential area on a hillside overlooking Palma.
  • It’s narrow, so we recommend hiring a small car.
  • The drive to and from the airport should take under 20 minutes.
  • It’s a drive of just over five minutes into Palma.
  • There a lots of sandy beaches within a 10- to 15-minute drive, including Playa de Palma, Cala Mayor, Illetas and Bendinat.
