The estate is more than 700 acres, with buildings dating back to the 1800s. It’s located on Mallorca, a mountainous island in the Mediterranean Sea, with established grape vines, olive groves, and orchards. There are two brand-new luxury villas to choose from.

So how much will it set you back? With current exchange rates, a week-long stay will cost between $25,000 and $32,000. The Eagle’s Point villa has five ensuite bedrooms in Mallorcan style, with its own heated swimming pool. The property’s other villa, Red Earth, is near the beach, with four bedrooms and plenty of space for terrace sunbathing.

Although you’ll definitely need deep pockets, the rental cost does include all meals and unlimited drinks. There’s also a concierge service to take care of activities when you get tired of strolling the stunning coastal walk, or playing a spot of tennis on your very own court.

Start saving your pennies, so you too can wake up to this.
