La Casa de Madera | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pollensa

Fourteen guests, six bedrooms, one heated pool framed by the Tramuntana mountains—this is what a luxury villa rental in Pollensa Mallorca looks like when space, privacy, and mountain views converge. La Casa de Madera occupies a sprawling 15,000 m² estate deep within the forested hills north of Pollensa, where the sounds of civilisation fade and only birdsong, occasional wind through pines, and the distant murmur of the Mediterranean remain. Built around restored architectural salvage—timber beams and doors reclaimed from old Mallorcan country houses—the property reads not as a modern showpiece but as a home that has earned its character over generations.

Inside La Casa de Madera

La Casa de Madera sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed between the main residence and a separate guest cottage. The layout unfolds across multiple levels, each room positioned to capture views or direct light.

Ground floor of the main house centres on a generous hallway that opens into a living room anchored by a working fireplace—the kind where you can actually see flames, not a decorative afterthought. Adjacent sits a dining room with seating for six, flowing directly onto the covered terrace where al fresco meals extend into evening. The kitchen occupies a full-width room fitted with professional appliances, a breakfast table for four, and direct access to both the dining room and outdoor cooking facilities. Two double bedrooms on this level, each configured with twin beds arranged as a double bed format, come with private en-suite bathrooms and independent access—ideal for guests who value early mornings or late nights without disturbing others.

Ascend to the first floor to find three further double bedrooms. Two of these feature twin beds configured as doubles, each with en-suite bathrooms and private balcony access facing the mountain ridge. The master bedroom stands apart with a king-size bed, its own en-suite, and a balcony positioned to catch sunrise light—the kind of vantage point where you watch the Tramuntana peaks shift from purple to amber before breakfast. All first-floor rooms enjoy independent climate control and unobstructed views across the estate.

The separate guest house functions as a private retreat within the grounds. It contains a bedroom with a standard double bed, a full bathroom with bathtub, a kitchenette for light meal preparation, and exterior access that maintains complete autonomy from the main villa. This setup suits families where older children or extended relatives want proximity without intrusion, or groups where couples need occasional separation.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Sixteen metres of heated swimming pool stretches across the terrace level, positioned to reflect mountain views and framed by professional-grade sun loungers. Winter or summer, the water maintains swimmable temperature. A separate jacuzzi sits adjacent, perfect for evening immersion as the light fades behind distant ridgelines.

The terrace itself spans generous proportions—covered areas provide shade during Mallorca’s intense midday heat, while open sections catch morning and evening light. A wood-fired oven and full barbecue station transform outdoor cooking from an afterthought into entertainment theatre. The outdoor dining area seats the full party comfortably, with solid furniture designed for eight-hour lunches and leisurely dinners. Beyond the terrace, the gardens roll across the 15,000 m² plot, planted with mature trees and landscaped sections that encourage exploration. A table tennis table sits in a sheltered area—casual entertainment that works for post-dinner competition or rainy-afternoon tournament distraction. The combination of covered lounging zones, open-air dining, and shaded garden paths means guests scatter naturally across the property without ever feeling crowded.

Location: Pollensa and the Surrounding Area

Pollensa itself sits 3km away—a deliberate distance that keeps mountain noise from traffic while making authentic village life accessible within minutes. The town represents what North Mallorca tourism pretends to be: genuine. Seventeenth and eighteenth-century townhouses line cobbled streets where locals still shop at Sunday markets rather than chain stores. Restaurants cluster around small plazas rather than sprawling tourist strips. Cafés serve cortado to construction workers and pensioners in equal measure. The Calvario viewpoint—a steep climb rewarded by panoramic views across the bay toward Cap de Formentor—sits within the town and represents Pollesca at its most photogenic.

Beaches within 15km include Playa de Pollensa itself (fine sand, shallow shelving, family-focused) and the dramatic Cala Sant Vicenç (crystalline water, rocky coves, more intimate). Further afield, the Formula 1-tight hairpins toward Cap de Formentor offer coastal drama, with stopping points at tiny beaches and mirador viewpoints. Alcúdia, 12km south, contains the island’s largest concentration of water-sports facilities—jet-ski hire, sailing clubs, and windsurfing schools operate from the harbour.

The wider region supports wine tasting at vineyards like Macià Batle (10km), where tour groups rarely appear and the owner still conducts tastings personally. The Valldemossa region (35km south) houses the famous Carthusian monastery and commands cooler, more dramatic landscapes as the Tramuntana peaks intensify toward their highest points. Port de Sóller (25km south-west) offers bobbing fishing boats, excellent seafood restaurants, and a vintage tram connection to the village above—quirky, authentic transport rather than tourist gimmick.

Palma de Mallorca (55km south via the coastal MA-1) functions as the cultural capital: the Cathedral dominates the waterfront, museums and galleries occupy converted palaces, and restaurant standards climb markedly. The drive takes approximately 60 minutes depending on traffic. Explore our luxury villas in Europe and our full collection of properties in Pollensa.

Palma de Mallorca Airport (55km, 60-minute transfer) handles international arrivals. The airport remains relatively efficient by Mediterranean standards, with car rental desks operating from the terminal. Direct flights operate from UK, German, and Scandinavian gateways year-round, with seasonal connections from North America via Madrid or Barcelona.

May through October dominates the tourist calendar. May offers warmth (22-26°C) without crowds; September sustains beach conditions while August heat begins easing. Winter months (November through March) bring rain, cooler temperatures (12-18°C), and fewer tourists—ideal for those seeking solitude or hiking conditions. Spring wildflowers peak March through May across the Tramuntana slopes.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find La Casa de Madera particularly functional: the guest house offers privacy for grandparents, while main-house bedrooms allow parents and children spatial autonomy. The pool and gardens provide safe play areas without constant supervision demands.

Groups of four couples benefit from the bedroom distribution—six rooms mean choice rather than resentment about who draws the smallest space. The main-floor double bedrooms suit those with mobility preferences or early-rising habits.

Families with school-age children appreciate proximity to decent beaches (Playa de Pollensa works well for younger swimmers) combined with activity options: boat hire from Alcúdia, windsurfing instruction, cycling trails through the Tramuntana foothills, and table tennis for rainy afternoons.

Creative groups—artists, writers, musicians—appreciate the forested setting and distance from traffic noise, making it suitable for working retreats where collaboration and focused time both matter. The Wi-Fi supports professional video calls; the kitchen suits meal-sharing without restaurant dependency.

Couples seeking extended stays benefit from the space and privacy: you can occupy opposite ends of the property and rarely cross paths, or spend days together without cabin fever setting in. The pool and terraces encourage lazy mornings and contemplative evenings.
