Amazing contemporary villa designs

A minimalistic interior design is all the rage right now on Mallorca, the emptier a room the better, only the basics such as sofas tables etc. fill space. This uncluttered look has been going strong now for a decade, with furniture etc. becoming more and more reduced. Outside, many villas look like huge cubes with enormous window fronts that actually do not offer much privacy depending on their location! Perhaps the owners are quite happy to indirectly let the public into their homes, one thing is certain, the rooms enjoy loads of natural daylight. Sometimes the villas are made up of various cubes perched on top of, or next to each other, a design that seems to be defying gravity to say the least.

These ultra-modern Mallorca villas for sale still offer a level of luxury that is quite the opposite to the blatant opulence of older, classical Mediterranean style villas in areas such as Puerto Andratx, where you will find a diversity of luxury villa designs. Nowadays, contemporary villas offer a more discreet, understated luxury, defined by the top quality of the materials and fittings used throughout and the soft, subdued colour schemes. It is a kind of “take a second look” luxury, not in your face and to some it may even look a bit boring. You could compare it to a cashmere sweater that does not look exactly exciting or expensive, it is a matter of the quality!
