Villa Clavel | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Arta Arta

Arta sits in the quieter northeastern corner of Mallorca, far from the island’s crowded resort zones, and Villa Clavel occupies a rural pocket just 2km from this traditional town. The 9.5-metre private pool catches the afternoon light across three thousand square metres of landscaped grounds, while the master bedroom’s terrace frames countryside that stretches toward the Llevant Natural Park. This is where you escape the noise—not by hiding in a remote villa, but by choosing intelligent seclusion within reach of Mallorca’s best beaches and cultural sites.

Inside Villa Clavel

Villa Clavel sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, split across two storeys of thoughtfully designed space. The ground floor contains the social hub: an open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone with floor-to-ceiling windows that dissolve the boundary between interior and garden. Two twin bedrooms anchor this level, each with independent air conditioning, making them ideal for children or guests who value separate sleeping quarters. A family bathroom and separate guest toilet service the ground floor, practical for households with multiple daily schedules.

The kitchen runs along one side of the open plan, fitted with modern appliances including a dishwasher and central island—the kind of workspace that transforms reluctant cooks into willing dinner volunteers. Satellite television and DVD player sit in the living area for quieter evenings. Every room on this floor opens directly to the patio, so the garden becomes an extension of your living space rather than something you cross a threshold to reach.

Upstairs, the master bedroom dominates the first floor as an adult refuge: a double bed, air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with bathtub (not shower), and a private terrace facing southeast across open countryside. This bedroom functions as a genuine retreat, not simply another sleeping space squeezed into a corner.

Practical amenities throughout include Wi-Fi connection for those who cannot fully disconnect, a washing machine for extended stays, cots and high chairs for travelling families with infants, and climate control via air conditioning in all sleeping areas.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden itself tells the story of how this property was conceived. Mature trees provide natural shade—not the scraggly palms that dot many Spanish villas, but established canopy that suggests this place has been loved for years. Access comes via a private rural path, meaning the 3,000 square metres around you genuinely belongs to you, with no casual passers-by drifting across the lawn.

The swimming pool measures 9.5 by 4.5 metres, substantial enough for genuine swimming rather than symbolic cooling. An outdoor shower stands nearby—useful after beach visits before entering the air-conditioned interior. Sun loungers scatter across the terrace, and a covered dining area allows al-fresco meals regardless of Mallorca’s occasional afternoon heat. A Weber barbecue sits permanently installed, suggesting the previous owners understood that grilling becomes a daily ritual rather than occasional entertainment.

Table tennis sits on the rear lawn, the kind of detail that keeps teenagers and competitive adults occupied for hours. Rattan garden furniture groups around the terrace, positioned to catch different angles of shade throughout the day. The patio itself sprawls large enough to accommodate simultaneous activities: sunbathing, dining, play, and socialising without anyone treading on another guest’s space.

Location: Arta and the Surrounding Area

Arta town itself, 2km from Villa Clavel, preserves the traditional Mallorca that package tourism bypassed. The Tuesday market remains the social hub, selling local produce, handicrafts and clothing to residents who have shopped there for generations—not a tourist attraction but an authentic working market. The Sanctuary of Sant Salvador crowns a hilltop overlooking the town, its whitewashed stone visible from many vantage points, accessible via a ten-minute drive and worth the visit for the views alone. The Caves d’Arta, a cathedral-scale stalactite cavern just outside town, operates daily tours and descends deep enough that the temperature drops noticeably—bring a jumper even in summer.

The beaches that anchor Mallorca’s reputation cluster around this northeastern coast. Cala Torta, 12km east, requires a high-clearance vehicle or preparedness for a 20-minute walk—this remoteness means the white sand and turquoise water remain uncrowded even in peak August. Cala Agulla, 18km southeast, holds Blue Flag status and fronts a pine forest that provides natural shade; the beach reaches 800 metres long with restaurants embedded in the pine trees above the waterline. Cala Ratjada, 22km south, functions as a working fishing port with coloured boats tied to weathered stone quays—you can buy fresh fish directly from boats or eat at waterfront restaurants while watching the catch being unloaded.

The Parc Natural de S’Albufera, 20km south, protects a wetland system where over 200 bird species have been recorded. Walking trails wind through reed beds and open water; binoculars and a bird guide book repay the modest entry fee. Cycling routes thread through the agricultural plains surrounding Arta, with flat terrain ideal for families and leisurely pace rather than mountain biking intensity.

Palma, Mallorca’s capital, lies 50km south—a 50-minute drive to explore the Gothic cathedral, the royal palace, and restaurants that hold Michelin stars. The northeast coast supports several wineries offering tastings; Bodegas Macià Batle sits 30km south and welcomes visitors to taste their Mallorca-specific varieties and tour the vineyards. Golf courses dot the island, with over twenty championship courses within 40km, including Son Muntaner, Son Quint, and Alcanada, each offering different challenges and fee structures from budget-friendly to exclusive.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families find Villa Clavel particularly practical: grandparents occupy the master bedroom with bathroom privacy, adult children sleep in the twin rooms downstairs with autonomy, and young grandchildren benefit from ground-floor proximity to the pool and garden. The high chairs and cots accommodate infants without requiring specialist hire companies.

Couples seeking privacy appreciate the master bedroom’s terrace separation from communal areas; you can socialise on the main terrace while retaining a personal retreat above. Small groups of friends—three couples, for instance—each secure their own sleeping space without compromising bathroom access.

Families with school-aged children value the table tennis, the pool’s safe depth for swimmers, and the proximity to child-friendly beaches like Cala Agulla, where lifeguards patrol and restaurants cater to varied tastes. Active adults planning cycling, hiking or kayaking use Villa Clavel as a basecamp—the central location puts S’Albufera, mountain trails, and coastal launch points within 20-30-minute drives.
