From Cultivated to Wild
Set in a hidden valley of the Serra de Tramuntana, this garden blurs the line between the cultivated and the wild. Near the house, a relaxed cloud garden of lentiscus, rosemary and a feature olive sets an elegant yet unhurried tone. It’s formal enough to feel considered, yet soft enough to belong to the valley.
From there, the garden becomes more wild. Pathways of clouds wind through the natural contours of the land until the boundaries dissolve entirely into a meadow of stipa and perovskia — where the garden and Mallorca's wild landscape become one.
The pool area is its own world. Planted with cycas, agapanthus and tulbaghia, it has a lush, almost tropical feeling — all achieved with species chosen for their resilience to Mallorca's hot, dry summers. Layered and abundant, it's a place designed for long, languid days by the water.
