Sun-washed island farmsteads
Three restored farmsteads operate as self-catered apartments around a garden pool, trading hotel formalities for slow days in the sun.
“Three spare, light-filled apartments by Madrid interior designer Paty Pombo are dotted around a garden near an inviting pool.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This trio of apartments has the barefoot luxe look down pat, with sun-splashed spaces kitted out with hanging beds and pops of color.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Platja de Migjorn is a short bicycle ride down the camino, where rustic chiringuitos sit right on the sand.
The rooms
Pale stone and smooth marmoline cool the apartments, and private sun terraces come with breezy suspended daybeds.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A wooden deck borders the swimming pool, where cushioned loungers and a shaded pergola look out over pine trees.
At the table
Breakfast is served outdoors beside the garden gazebo, with seasonal produce and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
How it began
Three friends from Madrid who spent childhood summers on Formentera restored the old farmsteads to preserve the island they grew up loving.
