Unique modern villa in Son Vida

Villa Solitaire is far more than an extraordinary residence—it is the result of an uncompromising fusion of architecture, design, landscaping, and privacy. Designed by the internationally renowned Milanese architect Matteo Thun, the villa stands at the highest point of Son Vida and enjoys one of the most privileged locations above Palma. Its expressive architecture evokes the image of billowing sails and gives the property a distinctive identity. The consistent south-facing orientation allows natural light to become the defining element of the architecture throughout the day. Generous glass facades fully open the living spaces to the landscape, revealing breathtaking panoramic views of Palma, the bay, and the Mediterranean Sea. At the same time, the secluded location ensures an exceptional level of tranquility and privacy. At the heart of the villa are the spacious living and entertaining areas, featuring an open fireplace, an elegant dining area, a main kitchen and a prep kitchen, as well as a private bar and wine cellar. The private bedroom suites are located on a separate level, deliberately creating distance from the home’s main reception areas. Two infinity pools, expansive terraces, and lush gardens extend the living space outward, allowing architecture and landscape to blend seamlessly. A world of its own dedicated to relaxation and well-being unfolds in the wellness area, featuring a Zen garden, fitness area, treatment room, sauna, and steam room. This is complemented by an extraordinary video art installation. On the rooftop terrace, a Jacuzzi and open-air cinema create yet another spectacular open-air retreat. The interior design also meets the high architectural standards. Custom-made furniture and select pieces from the renowned Milanese gallery Nilufar lend the rooms a unique character and combine contemporary design with art and the highest quality craftsmanship. A glass platform elevator connects the various levels, while a separate staff area with two bedrooms allows for discreet service. Ultimately, however, what makes Villa Solitaire special is not any single feature. It is the overall experience: the spectacular location overlooking Palma, the extraordinary architecture by Matteo Thun, the interplay of light and landscape, the spacious indoor and outdoor areas, and a level of privacy that is rarely found even in Son Vida.

The day begins with the first rays of sunshine over the Bay of Palma. Thanks to the south-facing orientation and the expansive glass walls, the rooms are bathed in Mediterranean light first thing in the morning. Breakfast on the terrace, a quiet moment by the infinity pool, or a workout in the private fitness area set the tone for a relaxed start to the day. At noon, the living areas open up completely to the outdoors. The spacious terraces and both pools become the focal point of the home—perfect for relaxing with family or enjoying lunch with friends. Despite its proximity to Palma, you can enjoy the exceptional tranquility and privacy of Son Vida’s elevated location. In the afternoon, the wellness area—featuring a Zen garden, sauna, steam room, and treatment room—offers a private retreat. Alternatively, Palma’s Old Town, the marinas, and golf courses are just a short drive away. When the lights of Palma begin to glow below the villa in the evening, the atmosphere changes once again. Dinner and a glass of wine on the terrace, a dip in the pool, or a movie at the open-air cinema on the rooftop terrace—Villa Solitaire offers a special place for every moment of the day. It is this combination of spectacular architecture, absolute privacy, and Mediterranean ease that makes life at Villa Solitaire so extraordinary.
