Elegant city sanctuary apartment in Santa Catalina

A bright and airy four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment in a quiet part of Santa Catalina has been tastefully refurbished, transforming it into a refined city retreat.

The heart of this sixth-floor apartment is the spacious open-concept kitchen, living and dining room, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors ensure it is bright and airy and two balconies offer partial sea views. Four bedrooms, three of which have access to third, smaller balcony, all lead off the central living area.

The apartment has been decorated throughout in pale sophisticated tones – gleaming
Volakas marble countertops and floors and light oak panelling in the living area, wooden floorboards and off-white walls in the bedrooms, and marble floors and vanities in the bathrooms – resulting in a restful yet luxurious ambience. Underfloor heating, hot/cold air-conditioning, a parking space in the garage, and two lifts ensure comfort and convenience year-round.

In the kitchen, a long island with a marble countertop includes an integrated sink and induction cooktop, while pale oak-fronted cabinetry opposite it houses plenty of storage and top-of-the-range Gaggenau appliances, including an oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and a wine chiller.

To one side of the kitchen lies a dining area with one wall panelled in wood and sliding glass doors that open onto a 7m2 balcony; to the other side is a seating area with a sleek, contemporary fireplace set into the same oak panelling, and doors leading out onto a large 19m2 balcony that wraps around two sides of the building.

In the bedrooms, oak floorboards create a warm ambience and built-in wardrobes ensure plenty of storage space. The master and second bedroom both have ensuite bathrooms while the third and fourth bedroom share the third bathroom. Bathrooms are finished in Volakas marble and all include walk-in showers, matt black plumbing fixtures and wood detailing.

This property is ideally situated next to the exclusive Palma Tennis Club, where facilities include an outdoor pool, fitness centre, spa and restaurant, and is on the edge of the fashionable Santa Catalina district, so is within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants, coffee bars and shops, as well as being only minutes from Palma’s famous waterfront.
